Coconut Water; Benefits of Coconut Water; Sip away!
Drinks cannot get any better than coconut water
We are aware how fitness buffs and healthy food enthusiastic bloggers are going on a rave about how healthy coconut water is. This clear water that is found inside a young, green coconut was readily available on the shelves of supermarkets few years ago. And most of us – including me—fell in love with the stuff!
What makes this one of the most popular drink? Well it’s not just one reason, surprisingly it’s many! Not only coconut water is 100% natural, it has a wonderful amount of electrolytes including potassium and sodium. Wait, I think I’m giving away the barn! Let’s scroll down to see what else is there!
Coconut water is low in calories
If you are on a major calorie cut, this is the ideal drink for you! Watch those pounds fall off just like that with the coconut water! The whip cream on top is that it tastes as good as store-bought orange juice with double the calories.
It is also high in fibre
As we all know fibre is vital for proper digestion. A glass of coconut water will help you meet your daily intake of fibre. The recommended daily fibre intake for adults is 30g and this super drink will provide you with 9.8g of fibre from just 250ml! Compared to orange juice that supplies only 0.5g from the same quantity.
And high in potassium
As most of you might know, potassium is an electrolyte which helps maintain the water level of your body. Hence why it is recommended as a sports drink. A glass of this miracle drink will help you replenish the fluids you’ve lost right away.
Gentle on the stomach
Upset stomach? Chug a bit of coconut water! Not only will it replenish your lost fluids, it will even flush out the toxins from your digestive system. Stick to just water and coconut water you’ll be feeling yourself in no time.
No refined sugar
Refined sugar is digested almost immediately and it can spike your insulin levels and affect your hormonal balance. Now coconut water also contains 2.7g/100ml, but it is definitely better than a can of coke or a soda!
