Personal Wellness Benefits
- Rich in nutrients and beneficial fats – Coconut flour offers a variety of nutrients, including healthy fats that are linked to several benefits, such as weight loss, protection against bacteria and viruses, and enhanced brain and heart health.
- Keeps blood sugars stable – Coconut flour is packed with fiber, which may help keep your blood sugar levels in check. It also ranks low on the glycemic index (GI), meaning that bread and baked goods made from it are less likely to spike blood sugar levels.
- Promotes healthy digestion – The high fiber content of coconut flour may also benefit your digestion. Coconut flour also boasts small amounts of soluble and other fermentable fibers, which feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut.
- Improves heart health – Research shows that consuming 15–25 grams of coconut fiber daily may help lower total blood cholesterol levels by 11%, LDL (bad) cholesterol by 9%, and blood triglycerides by up to 22%.
- Helps in weight loss – Coconut flour may help you shed excess weight because it offers both fiber and protein, two nutrients shown to reduce hunger and appetite. It also contains MCTs that travel directly to your liver for energy production.
- Kills harmful viruses and bacteria – Coconut flour is rich in lauric acid and contains antibacterial properties, that help fight certain viruses and even fungi.
