COCONUT WATER IS GOOD FOR OVERALL HEALTH
It’s refreshing, loaded with vital nutrients and believed to help in weight loss — reasons enough for coconut water to become the go-to energy drink for fitness enthusiasts. But these aren’t the only benefits of this low-sugar drink. Here are some more:
* Coconut water is high in potassium, which can flush out excess water from your body. So, it’s great for detox, weight loss and for people with water retention problems.
* It soothes the stomach, is easy to digest and prevents constipation. It’s great for those recovering from an illness or surgery, as it’s rich in vitamins, minerals and electrolytes.
* If you have acidity, coconut water can give you relief, as it can bring your pH balance back to normal. Similarly, if you have lost bodily fluids from stomach flu or gastric illnesses, it can be of help in replenishing your body’s water content.
* Coconut water can break down smaller kidney stones and flush them out of the body.
* It is also recommended in moderation for diabetics whose blood sugar is not extremely high. If you consume up to 200ml a day, your blood sugar levels won’t go up. Since it contains only glucose, it is better than packaged fruit juices and ice creams. HTC
