***** do you eat mature coconut? How do you consume coconut meat?
I get lazy to cook sometimes, so i just crack open a young coconut and eat all the coconut meat and drink the coconut water. Keeps you full for hours. Plus the best time i love eating fresh coconuts are in the summer.
do we need virgin coconut oil for this purpose?

Im so angry!
I love coconut and was told it was bad for me because of sat fat!
I have been on statins for 20 years
I am a victim of big pharma
Thank you for these videos Dr Axe!
Chris Eckenrode dont feel bad Chris it is good for you just keep on loving and eating coconut
After a heart attack, i was perscribed statins for almost two years. My heart attack was nothing compared to what the statins did. At least 10 side effects that still linger today, even after one year of quitting the rat poison and now I'm looking at a possible statin induced lupus.
@michael getachew coconut oil should be cold pressed virgin coconut oil.. I am sure you have got the wrong coconut oil... There are many adulterated bad coconut oils in the market.. Mine is max care virgin coconut oil cold pressed
oh no..so what did you do to recover from statin? i take statin for 6 months, and the effect is beyond me..before taking statin, i was very healthy..unfortunately i got stroke attack due to hole in the heart..after taking statin, i have myriad of issues..looks like i have systemic inflammation...a variety of medical condition like muscle loss, blur vision, tinnitus and list goes on..i wish all those pharma burn in hell
Dont be its been going on since 1920, the American housewives used virgin coconut oil for everything especially cooking, they tried everything to get them to switch to canola oil when they eventually did in 1928 American doctors were reporting an explosion in heart diseease that they had never seen before. I too have heart diease and had to be stented in 2019 I have since banned any seed derived oil in my house since, especially vegtable, sunflower, rapeseed, soy bean (canola) its all rancid before it's even put onto the shelves for sale.
Spent a lot of time in Thailand, and this video, confirms what I’ve always believed and known, from being around the people in the country. They consume a lot of coconuts, both liquid and and pulp. And the incredible fitness in old age, and health of many Thai people. Just letting you know, what I’ve learned personally, as well as my combined knowledge, over the years, of study, in this field.
ครับ.... I miss Thailand
We, Indians use coconut 🥥 since ancient days daily since ancient times and enjoyed the benefits which is confirmed in Ayurveda and now in modern science
Well, you have the advantage of having them in your backyard.
@@GlossaME very much lucky to have it
I am 95% animal-based, I do not eat sugar, fruits, vegetables, but I do incorporate everything coconut🙌🏻 I love it
I srarted eating coconut in 2 months now and my blood pressure goes down from 140/100 to 116/77...

Excellent..thanks for removing my fear of consuming the coconut...we south indians consume fresh shreded coconut almost daily for making breakfast side dish chutney which goes with Idly, dosa, uthappam & pesarattu....So no more fear about coconut...thanks alot...
Great! Here's more on coconut oil: draxe.com/coconut-oil-uses/
yeah enjoy........i love coconut chutney :)
excellent video
That's why you have great skin
I volunteered in Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu in 2009. I loved Idly and chutney! I still dream about it. What delicious food you have in southern India. I also miss the fresh coconuts. I hope to visit again some day and bring my children with.
I’m from Guatemala and in my country we are used to eat coconut 🌴 now that I know more about it I will add other coconut items to my daily life. Thank you for your video. 💙
I'm watching this while eating coconut😂😂😂💞💕✌😂😂😂
Eve Faustin
Me too💪🏾
Mee also 😃😄
Woo same here😃
The same here
Me too 🤣
Coconuts are my all time favorite 🥥 🌴 I’m obsessed with coconuts😋
WONDERFUL VIDEO, I LOVE COCONUT IN ALL THE FORMS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU AND GREETINGS FROM ACCRA, GHANA, WEST AFRICA
Great video Dr. Axe! As a holistic health practitioner I have used and suggested EV coconut oil for years with great results. On my visit to Philippines with my wife 5 years ago, her family was amazed I used their fresh hand made coconut oil on my food. They had never heard of that in the very heart of coconut heaven. :) For them it was purely topical. I also had a debate last year with a gentleman from the Thai ministry of health that had no idea that coconuts caprylic acid was a major anti-fungal and rich within coconuts. The word is getting out there, slow but sure even in the ancient lands the produce comes from. :)
I have loved coconut ever since i can remember. I have never been sick in my whole life(except for once i had chickenpox). People always mistake me for (20-22) years old but i am actually 30 years old man. Maybe it's my habits and the coconut that i eat almost everyday which is keeping me young and healthy. I am really fond of dry coconut.
i was suffering from some very serious adrenal fatigue i couldnt even walk without getting a headache i started taking tea spoons of coconut oil and i can jog 2 miles straight without getting a headache so thank u dr axe god bless.

I have been using organic coconut oil on my skin for years. No wrinkles. :D
And for cooking.
Your body will thank you for it Natural Frilly curls and Ivann Epps!
***** Hi Dr. Axe, What about for HIV/AIDS case. Can you evaluate this research please.
coconutoil.com/hiv/
***** hiv/aids is hard to cure, but have seen many cases healed by prayer miracles.
Filipinos really love the coconut oils, it has some many health beneficial effects, yes we believed that it is a saturated fat but this fat highly differs from animal saturated fat. At low temperatures, it easily melts unlike animal fat. Other medical societies ignore this humble superfood, just because local farmers have no sufficient budget to get sponsors from other manufacturing company because there is no money in it. But health concious people continue using coconut oil because it has so many health benefits. Ignore the pre-paid food ads, because it has so many negative effects in your health.
I know for a fact it will raise the HDL cholesterol. Mine went from a healthy 50 mg/dl to 90 mg/dl while my LDL stayed around 80. I take coconut oil in a low inflammation turmeric drink and i was amazed at what it did to the blood lipids.
I am eating and drinking young coconut in morning fresh from the coconut tree everyday. I love it....very much !
I started eating coconuts only recently, and I love them! Especially coconut water!!
Me too!! I fast on coconut water instead "plain" water!!
Try this coconut oil dressing on salads:
0.5 cup coconut oil, melted
3tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp Dijon/grainy mustard
1 tbsp maple syrup/honey
Salt & pepper to taste
Hi I'm going too try this recipe Thanks
Sounds interestingly tasty :)
The Alzheimers therapy sounds really wonderful. My mother developed dementia when i was only in high school. It was horrible for our family (I wouldn't wish this disease on anyone). I sure would have been willing to try it on her.
Coconut have been a healthy food for a long time. I love fresh coconut especially the young pulp.
Dr josh Axe, thanks for removing my fear, I watched Dr oz before your video and it freaked me out cause he claimed that eating coconut oil can cause heart problems. I’m eating cold pressed extra virgin coconut oil for a year now.
I love coconut milk but always felt guilty because of the high fat content but this was super helpful!! Thank you
my friend had a tooth infection, used coconut oil, next day pain was gone for good.
Good to know.
Come on man!!! Don’t exadurate 😄😄
raees mohammed he might’ve oil pulled (swishing oil back and fourth through your teeth)
Just I out coconut oil for. Myteeth..the pain go %70 ...tomorrow I will continue. See what happen
Sir, the very fact you are looking radiant and healthy itself is an inspiration for me to consume coconut regularly
This is amazing! It confirms all the ways I suspected it was healing/helping my body! I use it for everything, also for my children. The oil applied topically quickly healed my daughters eczema and diaper rash. Thanks Dr. Axe, for keeping us informed on natural ways to stay well!

I like to put coconut oil in my coffee in the morning and I very love it! Thank you for great video !
Thanks! I just found you on the internet. I use coconut oil in my smoothie every morning (spinach, cucumber, honey and 1 tbs of coconut oi). I also make cookies with coconut oil instead of sugar. Taste is amazing! I also use it on my face and hair. Loving all your videos! Thanks again!
Great news. I have coconut oil in my coffee every morning. I eat coconut chia seed pudding (w/honey) daily.
Stormy Girl Please share the Recipe
Send me a little piece of your pudding

I have coconut oil in hat water & lemon juice night time before going to bed.
Hello, I come from the land of Coconuts from India. We people here use coconut oil as our daily oil for cooking and other external applications. We have coconut as such and also the oil for cooking. As one of the 8 medically based reasons 1 seems to be true and that is reduces brain diseases and we have that very little here. The other reasons needs to be checked. I suppose this is the best place to do research based on coconut as we people have been using it for generations.
Love drinking coconut water during the summer to stay hydrated and energized.
I have been eating coconut since I was 5 years old.
Greetings from Mexico ♥️
That's awesome! Thanks for reaching out!
I agree 100% my allergist suggested it to me years ago for my yeast allergy and I eat it daily now. It’s my go to oil and I’ve also replaced my coffee Cramer with coconut oil.
I have had sunburns in the past and I have applied coconut oil on them, and the next day there was little to no sunburn pain. It did not prevent pealing, but there was no more pain, and it decreased the visible redness.
I have been consuming 100 grams of coconut oil a day for about 4 years and I am very happy about it.
Can I have dedicated coconut?
Ive just enjoyed my first coffee with organic coconut milk powder. Delicious and creamy.
I use organic raw coconut oil as a whole body moisturiser and use it mixed with bicarbonate of soda as toothpaste and just the oil for oil pulling.
I smear it on my dog's paws to protect him from sore bleeding paws when walking in the snow. He tries to lick it off before the walk even begins!
Nice. Are you french by any chance?
@@placeholdername2222 I’m Scottish 🏴
I ate about 4 tablespoons of dessicated coconut with 2 limes and put it in the blender with a drop of soy milk and poured it onto some raw vegetables. It was very intense! I hope it's beneficial
Soy beans and soy products are gmo and are endocrine disruptor.
You put the lime in the coconut, drink em both together.
Put the lime in the coconut- then you feel better!
😖sorry, not sorry😏
U r a blessing seriously helping ppl free of cost🙏🙏
Coconut helped my gut the most, it‘s super easy to digest
From Pittsburgh. Love your videos. I m going to go off my cholesterol meds soon. My Doctor will not be happy with me. When I did a low carb diet, my lol and help was excellent, now it's off the charts. Sugar is an addiction problem for me.
I put them in my protein smoothies after the gym, it’s a nice touch.
I really love coconut oil too! I take it everyday to help combat my candida problem and I also used it is a moisturiser on my face and it helps my skin looks so much better and I also started 'oil pulling' recently to help my teeth and gums and I'm already starting to see results with my teeth becoming more white! Coconut oil is definitely one of my favourite daily foods! Thanks Josh for sharing!
Are you cured from candida??
@@naomikhalif6954 It helps with vaginal bacterial infection. But the fungul one is different. Apple Cider Viniger helps with such a problems too.
Thnx Dr. Axe, I knew you would clear things up with studies to back it up. I've seen several articles saying coconut oil is toxic. So I can only surmise coconut oil must work very well. Why else would they scare people out of consuming it?
Stacey Cabral, people just "lie" for the fun of it. I grew up eating coconut, and me and my siblings would fight over "who would get the water" in the coconut when my Parents would buy them.
We use organic coconut oil on our kitchen and bathroom. It's the only oil we cook with and 2-3 tablespoons are blended with my coffee every morning. It's our hair conditioner and only skin moisturizer. I also eat tablespoons of Niki's coconut oil a few times during my work day and always before my workouts.
Thank you Dr Axe for all these precious infos! you are awesome!
I keep coconut oil with tea tree oil and vitamin e oil added in a little jar for cuts and scrapes. The tea tree oil is great for infection! I may try adding aloe vera next time. Great video!
Everything in moderation.
I was so excited about hearing all the benefits of coconut. Then I heard a doctor says that coconut is poison because of the saturated fat so we really need to know the truth so if you can share on this I would really appreciate that.
I'm eating coconut meat and watching this at the same time. It's great. I like to lightly cook the coconut meat in coconut oil and add a little salt then have them for snacks. And it tastes like popcorn, I swear it does!! I think it's because I cooked them for a bit.
I drink alot of coconut water, I love it. What are the risks of drinking too much? I drink 4-5 cans daily, but do drink water also.
This is an amazing video thank you! I was taking it it regularly in my Ketogenic diet and then my cholesterol went up and stopped. Will start taking it
I will start eating a tablespoon of coconut oil along with my multivitamins, in the morning. I am going to update, on any changes that I have noticed.
I make an nut paste from peanuts, almonds, cashews and even walnuts and pecans and use coconut oil to make it like a spreadable, smooth butter texture and it taste great!!! It's also pretty good on popcorn....the REAL stuff, not the microwave junk! Eat healthy, get healthy and enjoy it at the same time.
3 things you need to take every day raw apple cider vinegar, coconut, raw honey

Great information. Thankyou for sharing . I am eating coconut meat alone from last 2 month , instead of food ..I feel my whole body is saying thanks to me from my teeth , bone , heart , eyes, stomach....really great feel , have to enjoy that feel. It is really great than any cooked spicy foods ...
I recently was told that I have candida overgrowth, leaky gut and not to mention I went to the ER for gallstone attack. I've been researching the candida diets, GAPS, SCD, listened your webinar today and feel like all I'm left with is a bone broth and coconut oil diet lol. I used to count my macronutrients down to the T. Never cared what I ate, only cared about how much. I'm sure it's what got me in this mess. A lot of your recipes call for high fat-content items. At what point (if any) should I worry about consuming too much fats? I'm afraid of weight gain. I've slowly cut out grains and excess sugars that I used to have everyday. I stick to a small serving of low sugar fruit pre/post workout but have been trying to makeup for the caloric deficits through nut butters and avocado. My chronic fatigue is a concern and don't want to go way under. Should calories and macronutrients be of concern? Coconut oil is high in calories despite all of its benefits.
Awesome video! I did have a question or two though. I've read that if the coconut is processed with high heat the beneficial nutrients are chemically changed and are lost. What is considered "high heat"? I put 2 heaping teaspoons of coconut oil and 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream in my coffee. Am I wasting the coconut oil because of the heat? What about cooking with it? I'm confused is all. Thanks!
I suffer from asthma and started taking Coconut oil like you said. The wonderful thing is it helped my symptoms and now I'm able to walk and feel better every day. thanks..... PS it has only been three days, and I can't wait for a future evaluation..
Did it help you further ??
These video aged well

What is the best coconut oil?
It’s all true I knew I did myself
I had skin disease and blood pressure and mentally stressful it fix all as a miracle
How much were you taking a day?
I use coconut meat in my protein shakes almost every day...
Hi Dr Josh Axe, Is coconut oil and coconut fat the same in regards to what you are saying here in the video?
I ask because, I found out that other products I thought were health giving are in fact corrupted by the supplier in some form or other making them more or less useless for the purpose. It would be good to know if you have any tips on what the good stuff is and how to identify it. And any pitfalls or things to watch out for.
I use coconut oil for cooking and I love coconut butter and eat it right from the jar.
I have been using coconut, especially oil for years now. I have also used on skin infections and hot spots on my pets that cleared up in 48 hours. They would have been put on antibiotics if I took them to vet. This is also amazing for burns. My granddaughter and I have both had some significant burns, and I used coconut oil immediately and the burn never blisters and gone within 48 hours as if it never happened. It really is amazing. I which the medical field used it more. I have also replaced refined sugar with coconut palm sugar and manuka honey. I do 2 pieces of toasted spouted grain and flax bread and use coconut oil instead of butter and manuka honey and high quality cinnamon. Tastes amazing and better than any of the processed donuts out there.
Dr.Axe thank you for sharing it with us ,it really helped me with my fungus toes ,and I have no longer have problem ,also I make smoothies with Avocado and coconut milk and hemp seed ,is it ok ? The taste is amazing and I won't get hunger for long time ,thanks again
Thanks Dr. Axe. I put organic coconut oil in my coffee every day.
Wow and How do You are Feeling?
I put coconut cream lol

I love your video and am sharing it on my website April's Household Tips & Tricks..Thank you.
How often should I take it and how much should I take. I know, infantile question. Seriously I have heard 3 teaspoons per meal and 2 at bed time. I have heard 1 at each meal and 1 at bed time. Thank, Joe
Thank u so much for sharing this information....
Danae Rah You're welcome 😉
I've been studying treatments at home and discovered a fantastic website at Covert Health Scheme (check it out on google)
@ Danae Rah Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to learn about what are the benefits of coconut oil try Corbandy Coconut Crusher (just google it ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my friend got excellent success with it.
Have always embraced coconut oil...however, just listened to Dr. Vickers from the Gerson Clinic in Mexico stating it is bad. He states only flaxseed oil is beneficial. All other saturated oils contain hydrogen. I don't have chronic disease - perhaps once a person has finished Gerson Therapy they can consume coconut oils. All of the benefits you state, Dr. Axe, are what I have heard as well.
I just started having coconut in my coffee, Rocket coffee, in the morning. I don't eat till noon, or later.
I love eating coconut 🥥
Absolutely the most interesting talk and believe it to be true . For ultimate health .
I consume raw coconut meat for breakfast. Intermittent fasting along with your information makes me love my lifestyle now!
Great information and your information is helping us a lot. You are a great doctor and God Bless you, Dr. Axe. Million thanks to u.
Very informative, thanks!
Anytime Marie Loram !
Dr. Josh Axe I love your videos! Thank you so much!
Dr. Josh Axe l
Thanks, Dr. Axe, for this informative video. I began using coconut oil a little less than a month ago. I'm glad to know that you recommend the oil, flakes (meat), and milk of the coconut. My question is whether or not there is any physiological benefit to coconut water which I have also been using in my smoothies? Coconut water is a staple in markets in my neighborhood (sold in cans).
Coconut water is a fluid that could be administer straight from the coconut via IV to dehydrated people if nothing else is available! I prefer to buy the brown coconuts and drink the water via a straw through the holes, and eat the meat, so delicious.
Nice to hear the truth about coconut oil. Now it would be nice to hear the truth about other fats and oils.
Most are very healthy if not refined and if they are cold pressed without solvents. They also must be fresh.
Thank you so much for your videos Dr Axe. Love you doctor Axe....God bless you always !
Great tips, never heard of coconut flakes so I am going to look that up right now! ;) Thank you.
Well, apparently everyone on Gilligan's Island were very very healthy with all the coconuts they ate.
***** Ohhh...almost forgot about those coconuts! lol

Except for the Skipper.
MMmmmm ! Coconut Cream Pie, yum, yum.
Point well taken.

Nice tips! Definitely informative!
I love coconut though is quite expensive here ..used to eat that no need to cook with a little bit palm sugar.
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO MAN!!! 10/10 points !!!
Good afternoon Doctor
Thank you so much for sharing this important information.
God bless you
How about fresh coconut milk ? I drink it every day
Finally coconut oil for lowering LDL great thanks for telling us.what about coconut meat coconut jelly does it raise cholesterol?
I love these videos this is my favourite channel.
My hdl is now 126 after eating predominantly saturated fat as my fat source. A bit of omega 3 from oysters and thats it. My ldl is 112. Trigs are really low, forgot the number, but very very low. I'm super healthy! My total cholesterol is 201 because of my high hdl.

That sounds good
Hi I am watching your video as I live in Tasmania in Australia,
I never eaten any coconut throughout my hole life, and I I have one from my old house from 2010-2024 only because,
Back in the day my parents and I didn’t know anything about coconuts and we didn’t have any tools to use,
and when I moved house in the city I kept it to remember my childhood,
Well I archly still have, it’s year 8/05/2024 this year.
I’m looking up at your videos and others so I know more about coconuts even I believe they are much healthier,
then back in the day as I thought they weren’t healthy when I was much younger 12 years ago.
There is a question when I was younger as I still remember as no know one answered,
What kind of plant is a coconut is it a nut, seed or nutmeat? As coconut has milk, water and white flesh inside the shell?
Thank you so much I think I will in future.👍🏻🤔🥥🥥🫙💧🥛🛠️
Great information..going to health store tomorrow..
Awesome Nancy Padalecki!
Aldi and Trader Joe's oil is delicious
or you can just get a raw coconut at the store and bust it and eat it it's great
I tried a tablespoon of coconut, it irritated my throat. I mixed with honey, then it was ok.
