I'm sure you have heard all about the buzz of PURE coconut water.
Yep, of course I did too. I have to be honest. The first brand of PURE coconut water I drank, it for some reason, reminded me of wet dog. I couldn't even take a third sip.
But, the brand I'm holding in the picture, now this one I can handle. I'm getting use to it now. Not so bad guys!
So what is up with this coconut water thing? Let me explain.
Coconut water is EXCELLENT for hydration! In fact in some countries, if they were not able to get someone to a hospital to hydrate them, they would use PURE coconut milk w/ water to hydrate the patient. So this isn't something new. It's been around for years.
PURE coconut water is a great sports drink if you have sweat heavily. I recommend this over any other sports drink out there. Especially due to all of the nutrients it carries.
PURE coconut water does have other benefits. A recent study in rats found it to be just as effective as a stating drug for lowering cholesterol and its potassium is a key nutrient for controlling blood pressure (and yes also for alleviating hangover symptoms!). So if you have the terrible hangover, slam a can! It also helps with aging.
Why do I keep stressing PURE, read your ingredient label, some out there are not PURE and have other additives that you don't need.
PURE Coconut water also helps with WEIGHT LOSS! Pure coconut water can helps with controlling your cravings, and help suppress your appetite.
Several studies have found that PURE coconut water and the oil may help reduce body weight and belly fat and increase metabolism. Coconut oil has also been shown to raise "good" HDL cholesterol to improve your heart's health and provide antioxidants similar to those in berries, grapes and dark chocolate.
However, you do not want to go overboard on this drink. Yes it's lower in calories than soda, all natural and good for you, but any calories you take in that your body doesn't need make a go straight to your fat cells. I'm not stating cutting it out but drink PURE coconut water or even the oil in moderation. Take this approach to PURE coconut water = use it when you are active.
Give it a try!
CHEERS!
