Coconut Rose Milk - A Heavenly Twist

Coconut Milk due to the high saturated fat levels, often is ignored or afraid to be consumed by people who are diet conscious. But it has ample health benefits loaded within. According to new researches, it is referred to as the fat that make you thin. Coconut Milk consumption actually improves the metabolism ; it also has lauric acid, antimicrobial lipids and capric acid, which have antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties. 

Lauric acid gets converted into monolaurin, which may fight the viruses and bacteria that cause herpes, influenza and even HIV and henceforth proved to improve immunity. Some studies shows that the medium-chain fatty acids in coconut milk may also kill the major types of atherogenic bacteria that cause plaque formation in the arteries -- that may lead to heart disease.
