Coconut contains many important minerals for the body, including manganese, which is beneficial for bone health. Coconut also contains copper and iron, which are important minerals in the formation of red blood cells.

Coconut is also rich in saturated fibers, in addition to important antioxidants for the body, and 100 grams of coconut contains 354 calories and about 33 grams of fat, so care must be taken when adding it, and paying attention to its quantities and the effect on weight.

Milk is known to be an essential source of calcium, and therefore it is important for bone health. Milk is also rich in phosphorus and protein, and some types of milk are fortified with vitamin D as well. A cup of cow’s milk contains about 146 calories, and about 28% of the daily requirement for the body of calcium. .
