24 Mar 2009 Coconut water
 |  Category: Articles  | Tags: ,  | One Comment

Here’s an article about the benefits of drinking coconut water. I am a great fan of coconut! Especially young ones with soft succulent flesh and sweet tasty water. I drink coconut water at least once a week! So should you! Those small ones in the supermarket cost around $0.99 each. Pretty reasonable.

Cheers, TS

Coconut Water -The All Natural Health Drink

Coconut Water—What is it?

Coconut water is the liquid found inside young green coconuts. Not to be confused with coconuts you see in the grocery store i.e.—the brown, hairy kind. A green coconut is the same food, it’s just not as mature and the liquid inside has an abundance of minerals and nutritional qualities. Coconut water has been used in tropical regions around the world for centuries. Not simply good for staying hydrated, it’s called by many as the best known fluid for re-hydrating the body.

Health Benefits of Coconut Water

The water found in these young coconuts is among the purest of all waters. It has no cholesterol and more electrolytes than any fruit or vegetable juice or sports drink you will find. It is biologically pure, tasty, and full of the salts, sugars, and vitamins needed by athletes. It also contains trace amounts of copper, phosphorus, and sulfur which help correct electrolyte imbalances.

The water of a single coconut contains enough vitamin C to meet the daily requirements of the body. It also contains several vitamins in the B group, such as niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, riboflavin, folic acid, and thiamin.

Coconut water is naturally fat free, low in carbohydrates and low in calories. It helps to keep the body cool and at the proper temperature. It also helps to maintain the human body’s natural fluid levels, while carrying vital nutrients and oxygen to cells.

Coconut Water Uses, Diet and Nutrition

Coconut water is the same as human blood plasma. In the past it was used as plasma for blood transfusions in many countries throughout the world. In fact, during the First World War it was used as a replacement for plasma because it is sterile, does not produce heat, does not destroy red blood cells, and is readily accepted by the body.

Coconut water improves digestion. It helps with the absorption of other nutrients including a variety of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. Coconut water improves calcium and magnesium absorption which supports the development of strong bones and teeth as well as helping to protect the body against osteoporosis. It improves insulin secretion and utilization of blood glucose.

For the athlete, coconut water provides a nutritional source of quick energy. It will boost energy and endurance and enhance physical and athletic performance, while supporting tissue healing and repair.

Coconut water is a natural diuretic. It also supports thyroid function. It will increase the body’s metabolic rate which will help with weight loss. It is used by the body to produce energy instead of being stored as body fat like other dietary fats. It has healthy fatty acids which do not circulate in the bloodstream like other fats but are sent directly to the liver where they are converted into energy just like carbohydrates.

With such a large list of benefits, there is no good reason not to include coconut water into your diet and to keep it there as part of your natural health lifestyle.
