By drinking coconut milk, you are unknowingly drinking Selenium which decreases joint inflammation and reliefs arthritis pain.

3. It LOWERS Cholesterol:

YES it actually does!! It does lower the cholesterol levels when compared to butter and other dairy based creams even though it contains saturated fats. This is thanks to the lauric acid found in it!.
