Health boost: coconut
As holistic personal trainer I admire the diversity of the coconut. The coconut is highly nutritious and rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals.
Some examples:
Coconut meat/-water and sport / health

Coconut oil and massage / skin

- Supports the natural chemical balance of the skin.
- Softens skin and helps relieve dryness and flaking.
- Promotes healthy looking complexion.

Coconut oil and cooking
- Helps relieve symptoms and reduce health risks associated with diabetes.
