I would like to share with you some facts about the coconut.There's an abundant supply of coconut here in the Philippines, most especially in the provinces. Actually, we are one of the world's leaders in coconut production. Coconut meat contains less sugar and is a good source of protein than other fruits. The coconut water is fat-free and low in calories. Coconut is a good source of minerals as magnesium, potassium and manganese. It also helps in reducing the risk of heart disease, liver and kidney ailments. Likewise, the coconut husk and shell can be used in different kinds of ornament and decoration.

Yes, surely coconut is the tree of life. It is one of the great wonders in tree life. My mom says me that coconut is really good for health and I too love drinking coconut water and having it as well. I usually have coconut when I am ill. Anyways, you must be really lucky that coconut is found at your place in abundant quantity. Then you must also be lucky to have it daily. Happy mylotting!
