It can also help to reduce and prevent inflammation throughout the entire body. This is often associated with the healthy fatty acids found in it, as well as its great source of nutrition and healthy compounds.This allows coconut milk to help treat general joint and muscle pain, as well as help those individuals suffering with symptoms associated with arthritis. It can also help to reduce swelling and painful joints. • 5. Lastly, consuming coconut milk in moderation can help with weight loss and proper weight management. As studies have shown, medium-chain fatty acids can help to prevent weight gain and stimulate weight loss. This is associated with the increased energy expenditure that occurs when they are consumed.
