  1. Good source of several nutrients.
    Coconut water is found in young coconuts and is a good source of fiber, Vitamin C and several important minerals.

  2. May have antioxidant properties.
    Thanks to the water that is protecting my cells from damaging free radicals.

  3. May have benefits against diabetes.
    It's also a good source of magnesium, which may increase insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar levels.

  4. May help prevent kidney stones.
    Drinking enough fluids is important for kidney stone prevention.

Although plain water is a great choice, one study suggests that coconut water may be even better.

  1. May support heart health.
    Drinking coconut water may be helpful to reduce heart disease risk.

In one study, rats that consumed coconut water had reductions in blood cholesterol and triglycerides. They also experienced significant decreases in liver fat.

  1. May reduce blood pressure.
    Coconut water may help lower blood pressure and potentially decrease the risk of blood clots forming in the arteries.

  2. Beneficial after prolonged exercise.
    Coconut water is effective at replenishing fluids and electrolytes after exercise. It is comparable to other sports beverages.

  3. Delicious source of hydration.
    Coconut water can be consumed directly from green coconuts or in bottles. Avoid brands with added sugar, sweeteners or flavors.

That's it! 😉 Try it for yourself. God bless
