COCONUT-CORIANDER CHUTNEY

How can I, enumerate the goodness of Coriander / Cilantro leaves in a few lines???
It lowers bad cholesterol, increases good cholesterol, extremely good for digestion,, good cure for Alzheimer's disease, since it contains Vitamin K, is a powerful antioxidant, helps to treat mouth ulcers, prevents eye diseases, stimulates memory, helps people suffering from anaemia and treats diabetes too.
Fresh raw coconut is rich in dietary fibres, fresh coconut  cures mouth ulcers, has several minerals, helps prevent obesity, is a quick energy boost, in short, it is gluten-free, trans- fat  free, and contains antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antiparasitic healing properties.
So, I have mixed these two above mentioned healthy things in a Chutney.
