Many people waste time drinking coconut, a lot of nutrients, especially protein, are wasted

Fresh melon is a fruit available all year round in Vietnam, often used in summer for refreshing purposes. However, when the COVID-19 outbreak is complicated, many people use fresh coconut water to drink with the aim of getting better faster.

Doctor Le Thi Hai (former doctor of the National Institute of Nutrition) said it is true that coconut water has many health benefits, but currently there is no scientific research that proves that coconut water helps COVID-19 heal quickly, let alone get sick.

According to general practitioner Vu Quoc Trung, both modern science and traditional medicine manuals on the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 say that “drinking coconut water helps heal the disease faster”.

Trung said, according to traditional medicine, coconut water, including yin, has a warm sweet taste, non-toxic, helps increase vitality, refreshes beauty, and cools. Modern medicine has also proven that coconut water also contains sugar, fat, amino acids, organic acids and enzymes, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, vitamin C… Very good for the body.

In particular, the water in coconut is a completely closed cycle, so it is very clean and has many effects such as lowering cholesterol, treating kidney stones, stimulating immunity, stimulating reproduction, rehydrating in case of diarrhea, or exercising. Regularly drinking coconut water is also effective for controlling hypertension, preventing the risk of heart attacks.

However, it is too wasteful for people to buy coconuts if they only use water in it, because the copra part also has many nutrients and effects on the body.

Young or old copra should not be thrown away because it has a lot of nutritional value. Illustration.

Specifically, young copra contains 3.5g total protein, 1.7g lipid, 2.6g glucid, 3.5g cellulose; 0.04mg vitamin B1, 0.03mg vitamin B2, 0.8mg vitamin PP, 6mg vitamin C in 100g. Young copra is rich in unsaturated fat and protein, so it is easily absorbed, but other fruits are difficult to match, and have an excellent anti-worm effect.

In 100g of edible part of aged copra, there are 4.8g of total protein, 3.6g of lipid, 6.2g of glucid, 4.2g of cellulose; 0.10mg vitamin B1, 0.01mg vitamin B2, 0.2mg vitamin PP, 2mg vitamin C, 28.2g fatty acids. In oriental medicine, copra is sweet and average; on the spleen, kidney and taste; Beneficial effect of tonic gas, laxative and diuretic.

Therefore, Chinese herbalists suggest, after drinking coconut water, people do not throw away copra, both young and old. Because old copra can also be used to combine processing with other foods, so as to form nutritious and delicious dishes.

Herbalist Vu Quoc Trung says, although good, people don’t abuse coconut water and copra to excess.

Basically copra or coconut water is benign and nutritious, but herbalist Vu Quoc Trung also notes that you shouldn’t abuse drinking too much during the day (more than 4 pieces/day). Eating too much copra, especially aged copra is not good for digestion.

In addition, for those who have just returned from activities outside the hot sun, you should not drink coconut water because you are thirsty, because it can cause bloating and fever. Before competing in sports, drinking too much coconut water will lower your immune system.

People with yin organs such as: pale skin, cold, cold hands and feet, slow digestion, eat less, less thirst, like to drink warm, easy diarrhea, soft stools, weight gain, sluggishness, sluggishness… also don’t use coconut water.
