It has the effects of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, producing body fluid and quenching thirst, and promoting water and dehumidification. Coconuts contain saturated fat and are high in calories, which may increase obesity and affect cardiovascular health. At the same time, coconut is also rich in trace elements, such as zinc, selenium, potassium, etc., which can enhance the body's ability to resist diseases.
Native to eastern Asia, mostly cultivated in tropical coastal areas. China has a long history of planting coconuts. It was recorded in ancient books in the first century BC, and it was called "Xuyu" at that time. It is now planted in Guangdong, Hainan, Yunnan, Guangxi, Taiwan and other regions, with the southeastern coast of Hainan Island as the main producing area.

How to crack a coconut
The fruit is round or oval in shape, with a triangular top, the size of a football, and is brown when ripe. Basically, both the meat and juice of the coconut are edible. Coconut meat is hard and can be eaten raw, but it is mostly used to make coconut and shredded coconut, or to make candied fruit and jam. The processed and dried coconut meat is called copra (Copra) and can also be used to extract oil. In addition, freshly squeezed coconut water is a refreshing drink in summer.
#Remarks Matters：Due to the high content of saturated fat and calories, it is not advisable to drink coconut milk or coconut water in large quantities on a regular basis.
Occasionally drink coconut water to cool off the heat, but don't eat too much.
The composition of coconut water is similar to that of human body fluids, and it is almost sterile until the coconut is opened, so in an emergency if the patient loses too much blood and there is no serum, coconut water can be injected directly into the patient's vein like sterile saline. .
Commonly Used Dishes：Coconut Chicken Soup, Coconut Curry Chicken, Coconut Cream, etc.

Coconut Prevents Dementia: Cure or Poison?
In the past few years, coconut oil has been a very hot issue. In the past ten years, there have been two issues that have made coconut oil a holy product for health preservation. The first topic is to improve the symptoms of cognitive impairment. In Taiwan, the chairman of a listed company Shin Kong Group bought coconut oil for his mother because of this, which improved cognitive impairment and made coconut oil popular in Taiwan! The second time it became popular following the ketogenic diet. Coconut oil has medium-chain fatty acids. Coconut oil and the ketogenic diet are inseparable from the beginning. In recent years, it has once again become a popular food in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
In 2009, a video went viral on the Internet. The husband of Ohio pediatrician Mary Newport (Mary Newport) began to suffer from Alzheimer’s symptoms in 2001. In the video, Mary Jean suffered from Alzheimer’s disease. After the silent Mr. Steve ingested coconut oil, Mr. can draw a complete clock and start interacting with people. This video is shocking! There are a small number of oils such as: coconut oil has a higher amount of medium chain fatty acids. Medium-chain fatty acids (not simply referring to coconut oil) have good water solubility and can be quickly absorbed into the liver through the hepatic portal vein to promote the production of ketone bodies and then be used by the brain to improve the effect of Alzheimer's disease. There is indeed a patented medical food (Axona) in the United States that is designed using this principle. Medium-chain fatty acids derived from coconut oil were originally intended to be developed from the perspective of new drugs, and they have shown good results in phase 2a and phase 2b clinical trials. the results.
This breakthrough discovery was a clinical case, so Dr. Mary wrote a case report on Steve's treatment results and published it in the well-known medical journal <Alzheimer's & Dementia> (link) in 2015.
However, currently there is not enough scientific evidence (scientific clinical evidence) to support that coconut or coconut oil can treat dementia. As for some patients with dementia who take coconut oil as supplementary treatment or carry out such treatment, be sure to consult a doctor first.
Fatty Acids in Coconut - Medium & Long Chain Fatty Acids
Fatty acids are divided into "saturated fatty acids" and "unsaturated fatty acids" according to the presence or absence of "double bonds", and are also divided into long-chain and medium-chain according to the number of carbon atoms. Due to the different pathways of medium-chain digestion in the human body, the metabolic process of medium-chain is relatively short for the human body, and it is a relatively easy-to-metabolize fatty acid. Oil fatty acids can also be composed of a carbon chain (C-chain) connected to a carboxyl group according to the number of carbon atoms. We can divide fatty acids into short chains (C4, C6), medium chains (C8-C12) and long chains according to the chain length. (≥C12).
Controversial effects of coconut oil on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
Coconut oil is dominated by saturated fatty acids, accounting for 90.3%. Even after deducting the controversial lauric acid, saturated long-chain fatty acids have reached 75%. Although the health of saturated long-chain fatty acids is still controversial, the mainstream opinion still believes that saturated fatty acids are risky to the human body. At present, research on coconut oil and saturated fats for low-density cholesterol (bad cholesterol, LDL) is not established. Some studies have found that Some were found to increase LDL, some were found not to, and some studies did find that consuming coconut oil increased high-density cholesterol (the good cholesterol, HDL).
Coconut oil has always been controversial on health issues, including the risk of high levels of saturated fatty acids on cardiovascular disease that has yet to be clarified. In August 2018, Karin Michels, a professor at the Department of Epidemiology at Harvard University, mentioned in a speech, Coconut oil is total poison. The medium-chain C12 content of coconut oil reaches 47%, and the medium-chain fatty acid has high water solubility, so it can be quickly absorbed and transformed into ketone bodies through the hepatic portal vein to the liver. In some patients with cognitive impairment, before the occurrence of cognitive dysfunction, nerve cells appear similar to diabetes Patient's phenomenon: Cells cannot receive blood sugar, so it is called type 3 diabetes. For such patients, if ketone bodies can be given early for brain cells to use, it can reduce the death of nerve cells and delay the deterioration of cognitive function.
Medium-chain fatty acids and some special medical foods (Axona) can indeed give ketone bodies early, and they do have clinical effects in some clinical trials. However, the research on coconut oil is a case report, and there is no large-scale clinical study to confirm the effect of coconut oil.
Many studies believe that coconut oil is rich in medium-chain fatty acids, because it produces less calories than long-chain fatty acids, about 8.3 kcal/g, and its metabolic pathway is different from long-chain fatty acids, so it can reduce many metabolic-related diseases (such as: cardiovascular disease , hypertension, diabetes, etc.). And medium-chain fatty acids can be converted into ketone bodies, which can be used by the brain instead of glucose to maintain brain function. In addition, unrefined and virgin coconut oil (VCO) is rich in many antioxidant substances, which can reduce oxidative stress in the brain. Therefore, it is advocated that coconut oil can prevent dementia through the above-mentioned path.
Most of the medium-chain fatty acids in coconut oil are lauric acid with a carbon chain length of 12. The book "The Coconut Oil Miracle" published by American nutritionist Bruce Fife in 1999 pointed out that the reason why residents in Southeast Asia rarely suffer from heart disease is that Although the lauric acid contained in coconut oil is a saturated fatty acid, its chemical structure is different from that of animal saturated fatty acids that are harmful to blood vessels. The former belongs to medium-chain fatty acids, while the latter belongs to long-chain fatty acids. Past studies have suggested that coconut oil significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, but this data is now believed to be due to experiments with partially hydrogenated coconut oil (which produces trans fats). In addition, although some epidemiological studies have found that some people who eat coconut as a traditional diet (such as India, the Philippines and Polynesia) have a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease, their background, dietary habits and lifestyle are all factors that need to be considered. factors to consider.
But on the other hand, coconut oil still contains a high amount of long-chain saturated fatty acids, and its metabolism and absorption are relatively slow. Excessive intake will cause fat to accumulate in the liver, and increase harmful low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), accelerating the progression of arteriosclerosis speed, but increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. The American Heart Association advises against the use of coconut oil due to the counteracting beneficial effects. There are also opinions that non-hydrogenated (non-hydrogenated) virgin coconut oil contains less trans fat than hydrogenated oil and therefore is more beneficial to health.
Summary
Finally, we should not overinterpret "good" and "bad", so I personally do not agree with what the Harvard professor said "coconut oil is a complete poison", because the food itself is innocent, everything depends on how it is used and how it is ingested, but We really shouldn't over-mythologize or vilify coconut oil, but we should be alert to the health hazards of coconut oil. Saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids are all important to the human body and require a balanced intake. According to the "Common Diet" of the "Clinical Nutrition Work Manual" issued by the Taiwan Department of Health (now the Ministry of Health and Welfare) in 2006, the recommended daily intake ratio of fatty acids is "saturated: monounsaturated: polyunsaturated = 1:1.5 :1".
