I love coconut juice and the coconut meat that it contains.It is very refreshing.I love it also in fruit salad.Yummy!Don't you know that coconut also has antihypertensives and lowers blood sugar. It is very helpful medicine wise.

I am a coconut lover also. It helps prevent UTI, kidney problems, sugar problems and coconut water is pure alkaline. It is very healthy. I drink atleast one everyday. I'm pregnant and I read in some articles that it is good for the baby.

I love to see coconut palm trees. They are my favorite type of tree and I see them when I visit tropical countries. I have seen these trees in St Lucia, Fiji, Queensland in Australia, Kenya, French Polynesia, the Cook Islands, Samoa, the Seychelles and the Maldives. I have had some coconut juice to drink and it is refreshing. Inside the coconut is delicious white stuff that I adore so very much. It is wonderful to know the a coconut is a healthy snack to have. Coconut oil can be used in shampoo and conditioner for dry hair. I have a lip balm that contains coconut. It is very smoothing when my lips get sore and that tends to happen in the winter.

philippines - in the Philippines
I have been drinking coconut water for quite a long time. It is quite expensive though if I buy it in the grocery. We have lots of coconut trees in our farm land but I seldom go there for it is very far.

i also love anything about coconut.when i was a child, picnic for my family means eating together in our small farm with coconut trees around it and pick the nut on our own.i always not able to reach the top of the tree.i would then be the subject of ridicule and i would be so embarrassed.we just brought with us already cooked food from home and lunch started as soon as the coconut salad was ready.There would be a lot of juice to take home or to be drunk while walking back home.i would often go back alone in the farm whenever i have the chance to go home and would be so saddened to see almost all the coconut trees drying up due to a certain species of beetles that loves eating the coconut wood.They are like termites that eat the inside of the wood tricking you that the tree is still ok until one day it just dries up.it's the whole town's problem loosing its coconut trees.

Really!?..it lowers blood sugar?..I love coconut but with this fact "has antihypertensives" I guess I need to lessen eating and drinking it. I have a low blood sugar and still working out how to get it to a normal level. But I still love coconut =)
