Want to indulge something that is tastier than 100% pure water? Not Sierra Mist or Dr. Pepper! It is water with an exotic twist--coconut water.What is coconut water? It is water that comes from the coconut (not to be confused with coconut milk), the green coconut (the center of the fruit). It has less calories, less sodium, and more potassium than the Red Bull drink that many people consume.
Consuming coconut water has various health benefits:
- Low carbohydrates
- Low in sugar
- 99% fat-free
Many people consider coconut water as being one of the quintessential drinks to hydrate the body in addition to regular H2O and sports/energy drinks.
This water has a very appealing and light taste; it can also be beneficial in cooling the body as its normal temperature. It boosts the metabolism and weight loss; coconut water assists cells in building oxygen and nutrients.
Unfortunately, the majority of Americans do not receive the potassium amount needed in their daily diets. This is the result of not consuming enough fruits, vegetables, and/or dairy. Coconut water can often be a substitute for these nutrition deficiencies.
Although not many people know about coconut water, it is much healthier than a whole gallon of milk because it does not contain fat or cholesterol. It contains nutrients with having low calories.
This is a great way of adding potassium to your daily diet. This way--you can enjoy the light, tropical flavor, and be hydrated and healthy!
