Benefits of Coconut

To give just one example of coconuts life-saving properties, they were used extensively in the
Pacific during World War II. Since blood plasma supplies were scarce, it was very common for
Medics to sip on pure coconut water from young coconuts to be used as emergency plasma
transfusions for soldiers who were injured. Since coconut water is nearly identical to human
blood, it was suitable for people of all blood types.
