The case of the spread of Covid-19 is increasing again here (Indonesia). It's sad because in the past few months the condition has been declared as New Normal. We hope that conditions will get better and return to normal as before Covid-19.
I still remember clearly in my mind more than 1 year ago when WHO declared that the Covid-19 case was declared a pandemic. At that time the situation was quite chaotic, especially economic problems, and continued to affect various sectors including the world of education which until now, has been more than 1 year, teaching and learning activities are still carried out online.
At that time in some areas, there was also panic buying. Staple foods, vitamins, medicines, and several other things are being hunted by the community. The two objects that are most sought after by residents are health masks and hand sanitizers. There has been a rarity for a rather long time for these two items. And according to economic principles, the scarcer the goods needed, the more expensive the price. Yes, the price of health masks and hand sanitizers immediately skyrocketed. It is even reported that some sellers of medical masks got rich suddenly because of the huge profits they got. Currently, there is a lot of stock of health masks and hand sanitizers on the market, so the prices have returned to normal.
However, the number of Covid-19 cases has increased recently. Restrictions on large-scale social activities are again banned. This time there is a shortage of goods again, not health masks and hand sanitizers that are becoming scarce again, but green coconut and one of the sterilized brands of cow's milk.
This sterile cow's milk is packaged in a can with the Bear Brand brand. People believe that by consuming this milk, health is better maintained and people who are exposed to the Covid-19 virus recover faster when compared to consuming other brands of milk.
Likewise with green coconut. This variant of coconut has long been known for its properties as a natural remedy for various diseases, especially diseases caused by viruses.
When the initial condition was declared as a pandemic, green coconut was not too hunted by the public. They prefer vitamins that can be purchased at pharmacies or health drinks made from spices. But after conditions started to normalize and then the cases increased again, I don't know where it started, people started hunting for Bear Brand milk and green coconut.
Various regions are scarce for these two items. And we can be sure that the prices of both have soared, especially green coconuts because green coconuts feel more natural and are more famous for their properties. The price of green coconut was only around Rp. 13,000.00- Rp. 15,000.00 or equivalent to $ 1, currently soared to reach Rp. 50,000.00, more than 3x the price under normal conditions.
Green coconut is a bit difficult to find because in 1 tree there is not necessarily a green coconut. Its main characteristic is its pink inner skin. The flesh of the fruit is softer than ordinary coconut, as well as the water is more abundant and tastes better.
Green coconut has long been known for its benefits, especially the content contained in the water. The benefits of green coconut water include:
Neutralize toxins in the body
In our area, if someone is poisoned by food or drink, the most sought after is green coconut. Green coconut water contains Antidote (anti-toxin) and Tannins which are quite high which can break down toxins in the body so that toxins can be immediately removed from the body.
Maintain kidney health
Green coconut water is a liquid that has quite a lot of nutrients. Maintaining the kidneys by increasing fluid intake is highly recommended so that consuming green coconut water can help maintain kidney health. Moreover, the kidneys are one of the most important organs of the body. Green coconut water prevents crystals from sticking to the kidneys and other parts of the urinary tract.
Maintain heart health
The risk of heart disease can be reduced by regularly consuming green coconut water because it can lower blood cholesterol and triglycerides. It can also significantly reduce the amount of liver fat
From some of the articles that I read, those are just some of the benefits of green coconut water that I wrote here. there are several other benefits of green coconut water. From the observations of experts about the number of Covid-19 cases in Indonesia and the deaths caused by it, it turned out that most of them were caused by comorbid diseases or comorbidities in Covid-19 patients. Most comorbidities are high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.
From various studies, green coconut water is useful for preventing and reducing the risk of these congenital diseases. That's why green coconut is highly sought after by the public lately.
