Spread the love
Coconut
water is all the rage right now and for good reason! Coconut water is said to
be the most valuable super food on earth and nature’s most refreshing drink.
Consumed worldwide, coconut water is packed with variety of health benefits. It
is the purest liquid second to only water itself. In this article, BOLA
AKINBOADE-BELLO brings to you few reasons why Coconut water is a delicious,
healthy and beneficial drink.
WHAT IS
COCONUT WATER?
It is a
liquid that forms naturally inside a shell of coconut. It’s a common drink in
many tropical regions and becoming more popular as some companies now market it
as natural sport drink.
WHY DO
PEOPLE DRINK IT?
In many
countries, coconut water is thought to have health benefits. Coconut is 94%
water and fairly low in calories. It seems to be a good source for B vitamins
and potassium.
Coconut
water contains electrolytes, various plant hormones, enzymes, and amino acids.
Some substances in coconut water could theoretically have antioxidant benefits
in the body.
A
scientific study suggests that, drinking of coconut water might be associated
with lower rate of heart attacks. Another similar study found that coconut water
significantly lowered systolic blood pressure in the 71% of people with
hypertension.
Also
coconut water has been used to re-hydrate after exercise or illness, some say
it serves as oral drip for recovery of strength. It has also been used as IV
solutions in emergency cases; also it may be good for storage solution for a
tooth that has been knocked-out until you see a dentist.

HOW MUCH
COCONUT WATER SHOULD YOU TAKE?
Coconut
water has not been well-studied as a treatment, so there is no official dosage
for it yet. However do not confuse coconut water with other liquids derived
from coconuts, such as coconut milk which is rather derived from coconut by
grating the meat of the coconut. Coconut milk is high in saturated fat and is
an ingredient in many recipes. Coconut oil is made from coconut milk or dried
coconut meat; it’s used for cooking, skin care, and engine lubricants, amongst
other things.
