Now, I love coconut. I love coconut water. I love everything with coconuts pretty much. But, there’s no research to back up the claim that this is gonna help with your hair growth.” (04:06) (Dr. Brian) “Now, I will say this. Coconut water and coconut are really good for you. And, when I used to work out really intensely when I was rowing, I used to always carry a bottle of coconut water because I found that that was incredible for hydration. It’s much better than water, in my experience.” (05:26) (Dr. Brian) “Putting that mixture of the coconut onto the seeds of plants actually has been shown to help with plant growth. So, there is research to back that up for helping your plants.” (06:18) (Dr. Brian) “There is a little bit of research that coconut meat may help support weight loss. But, of course, the ultimate for weight loss is making sure you’re taking in less calories than you’re burning. That’s called caloric deficit.” (08:35) (Dr. Brian) Resources Mentioned NCHS Links Mentioned NCHS Footer Powered by FullCast
