Coconut milk, nutrition for our body

You may be wondering what we mean by “coconut milk.” Well, as you know, from this nutritious fruit we can obtain three types of recipes:

• Coconut oil (a treasure trove of properties for our skin).

• Coconut water, the water that we find inside the fruit itself.

• Coconut milk, which is one that is obtained by crushing the pulp of the mature coconut to take advantage of both the oil and the natural fiber, so it has a large amount of nutrients.

You can find coconut milk in natural stores, in the specialized area of ​​your supermarket or you can even make it yourself by grinding the coconut pulp with a blender and then adding a glass of water (200 ml).

The benefits of coconut pulp are many and surprising:

• Vitamins of group B, ideal to give us energy.

• Abundant vitamin C, which has a great antioxidant effect.

• Trace elements and minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, selenium …

• It does not contain glucose or lactose.

• Coconut milk is rich in lauric acid, wonderful for fighting viruses and bacteria.

Lime, alkalizing fruit

The nutritional benefits of lime are very similar to those of lemon. However, the lime is somewhat smaller, green in color and much more acidic.

• It will provide you with vitamin C, B6, potassium, folic acid, flavonoids and suitable enzymes to strengthen your immune system with antioxidant power.

• Lime is one of those alkaline fruits so recommended to include in our daily drinks, so it will be a delicious complement to our vitamin-rich smoothie. In addition, its caloric intake is really low.

Peaches, delicious antioxidants

Peaches or peaches are a delight for our senses. We love them in our desserts, they combine very well with other fruits and, in addition, they have that flavor that adults and children like so much.

• Peaches contain provitamin A, vitamin C, B1, B2, and B6.

• Among its most prominent minerals are potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, chlorine, iron, copper and manganese.

• Nor can we forget its most interesting part, that natural source of antioxidants such as beta-carotene, which protects us against the attack of free radicals to prevent premature aging.

Hence, they usually call the peach the “fruit of youth.” How to resist?
