Are you aware of the many health benefits of drinking fresh coconut water? Several health studies have shown coconut water is full of antioxidants, nutrients and electrolytes—all needed to promote a healthy lifestyle!
Coconut water is a natural source of potassium, magnesium and sodium. All of these help to maintain proper hydration levels, boost energy levels, support nerve function and muscle contractions.
Everyone of course wants to have a healthy heart! The potassium in the coconut water helps to regulate blood pressure by counteracting effects of sodium. By lowering your blood pressure, you may be reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Cholesterol and triglycerides may also be lowered to improve cardiovascular health.
***Due to the possibilities of blood pressure lowering from coconut water, before enjoying our refreshments, please consult with your doctor if you are currently on blood pressure medication.
Studies have suggested that coconut water promotes urine production and flushing out toxins built up in the kidneys. This can help reduce risk of stones forming.
As coconuts contain calcium and magnesium, drinking the water can help prevent osteoporosis and keep your bones strong.
Coconut water is found to contain bioactive enzymes such as amylase, catalase and peroxidase. These aid in breaking down food more efficiently and promoting better nutrient absorption.
While coconut water is low in calories and fat free, it can be filling due to its electrolyte content. This helps suppress appetite and prevents overeating.
Being rich in cytokinine, a plant hormone, helps maintain skin elasticity, reduces acne and promotes a clear complexion by hydrating skin from within.
While this may sound like a joke, it is not! The high electrolyte content rehydrates the body and replenishes lost fluids after drinking alcohol. Believe it or not, it also helps to alleviate those dreaded
headaches and fatigue!
