Face it, plain old bottled water is just that—plain and old. Not to mention, it often contains nothing more than purified tap water, and not the natural spring water we expect.
Coconut water is an all natural alternative to water, and it offers even more benefits to your bodies. And of course, coconut water doesn’t come from a tap, so you can rest assured you’re drinking the real thing from its natural source, a coconut palm.
Read on to learn about 10 excellent reasons to put down your water, sports drink or soda, and drink coconut water.
1. It’s Super Hydrating
Coconut water is considered a super hydrating beverage because it is rich in electrolytes, including:
- Potassium
- Chloride
- Magnesium
- Calcium
- Phosphate
Our bodies require these electrolytes, but when we sweat, we begin to lose them. In order to replenish, most people turn to sports drinks or electrolyte-enhanced water. However, sports drinks are flooded with tons of sugar and high levels of sodium, which coconut water naturally avoids.
2. It’s All Natural
Unlike sports drinks and sodas that contain lots of additives, coconut water has one simple, all natural ingredient: coconut water. Coconut water is the clear liquid inside of young, green coconuts. It is consumed raw, which allows it to maintain all of its nutritional value.
For thousands of years, coconut water has been enjoyed throughout South East Asia, Africa, and the Pacific Islands. Today, we can bottle and ship coconut water safely from its natural source, so we can enjoy it fresh almost anywhere.
3. It’s Fat-Free and Low-Calorie
Comprised mainly of water, coconut water is naturally fat-free and low in calories. This alone makes coconut water an excellent alternative to the many fatty, highly caloric juice blends, sodas and sports drinks available to us.
4. It’s Cholesterol-Free
Sodas and sports drinks can contain between 15 mg and 30 mg (5-10% of your daily value) of cholesterol per serving.
If you’re looking to lower your cholesterol or keep bad cholesterol out of your body, it may be a good idea to switch your beverage of choice to cholesterol-free coconut water.
5. It’s Naturally Sweetened
Slightly more refreshing than ordinary water, yet not as overwhelmingly, make-you-gag sweet as soda, coconut water offers a subtle, naturally sweetened fruit flavor.
And don’t worry, coconut water is not as coconut-y as its name suggests. The slight sweet flavor is complemented by a bit of tart and just a dash of coconut, making it very hard to confuse the taste of coconut water with any other coconut product.
6. It’s Low in Sodium
Though our bodies require sodium to recover from electrolyte loss through sweating, too much sodium can cause health problems like high blood pressure. Since 90% of Americans get too much sodium, drinking low-sodium coconut water, as opposed to salty sports drinks or sodas, may help keep your sodium intake down.
7. It Promotes Healthy Skin and Hair
Coconut water can be used as a light moisturizer that decreases oiliness and promotes healthy hair, skin, and even nails. Coconut water can also be added to moisturizers, shampoos, conditioners, and baths.
8. It Aids Digestion and Promotes Weight-Loss
Coconut water is a natural diuretic and a good source of dietary fiber. As a diuretic, coconut water increases urine flow. In addition, the dietary fiber in coconut water helps shorten transit time through the intestinal tract.
9. It Boosts Circulation
Because it’s so rich in electrolytes, drinking coconut water can help balance your body’s pH levels. In addition, coconut water has the same electrolyte range levels as your blood. When you drink coconut water, it enters your bloodstream giving your already present electrolytes an extra burst of energy.
10. It Helps You Rehydrate When You Have a Hangover
Because of coconut water’s super hydrating power (among all of its other aforementioned good looks and charm), it’s an excellent way to rehydrate, motivate and re-energize your body after night of drinking.
Why do you drink coconut water? Comment below!
We are so proud and happy to own coconut farms and I have known and heard of lots of great medicinal benefits of coconut water that has been passed from generations to generations. In every day life - I love the fact that coconut tends to reduce stomach cramps and headaches - it sure is a stress and pain reliever…
Yum, coconut juice is very tasty. I love reason #7!
I :Love anything coconut for their health benefits!! I know I’d love thiis!
Wow…..now maybe I can get my hubby to drink more water!!….Coconut is his fave
I love coconut water. I like them specially with pulp. do you guys happen to have them with pulp?
I have always wanted to try coconut water, as I heard it was tasty. But now, knowing the health benefits, I am encouraged to really give it a shot!!
This sounds really amazing! I know I need a low sodium diet and bottle water does get boring sometimes. This sounds like something every single person needs to integrate into their diet. Who can’t need healthier hair and skin? I am loving this coconut water already! Not only can you drink it, but you can add it to shampoo? I can’t wait to try this and see how much better my hair is going to look!
I had no idea that coconut water existed or had benefits. I have PCOS and diabetes. I also have digestive issues, I have tried so many things but have never once tried something like this. I am not a big fan of medicine but I love hollistics and home remedies. I am constantly on the look out for drinks with all-natural or low sugar, most do not quench the thirst and almost all of them taste badly. Just the thought of this drink is making me thirsty, I can’t wait to try some, plain water is so boring!
I’ve used coconut water as an electrolyte replacement for myself, my children, and my husband when any of us are sick. It’s great at offering everything your body needs without all the added sugar and other crap of sports drinks. I’d love to try a new kind.
Interesting, I’d like to find coconut water that actually tastes good. I’d like to try this.
This sounds great! I usually drink some form of sports drink while exercising, but then I learned how bad they are for me. I’m excited about this new product because it is all natural, healthy, and can give me vitamins and electolyes that I need!
ive honestly never tried coconut water, but being a huge fan of anything tasting of coconut, and reading the health benefits of including your product in our family diet, i cannot wait to try it!
I hear many of the celebrities are now trying coconut water. I wonder if this is the latest fad? But it’s worth a try. It sure sounds like it beats drinking regular flavorless water. I love coconut, so this works out well!
drinking coconut water is a great alternative to drinking just regular water. It’s more beneficial and healthy. Everyone knows how we need to be well hydrated and what’s better doing this with coconut water? I recently recall viewing the survival show starring Bear Grylls; there’s a scene where he climbs a tree and cuts down a coconut to drink it’s water. It look so refreshing and tasty, not to mention all the nutrients he received!
I haven’t tried this yet. I am curious how it tastes. Thanks for the trial!
Sounds interesting, can’t wait to try it.
I didn’t realize coconut water was so full of nutrients and good for you! I only knew how great it tastes.
So yummy and great hair and nails too — awesome!
I am here to tell you this is not a fad! I am 40 years old and was involved is sports up until the first year of college. During that time I ate what I wanted and stayed at a health weight of around 220 with some good muscle mass. 15 years of IT work and no sports while eating the same has taken it’s toll to the tune of 282 pounds with not much muscle mass.I mad my mind up. I was going to shed the weight. I started doing the protein shakes in the AM.. I used cow’s milk instead of watre because I could not stomach the water. The cow;s milk irritated by IBS and was a little fattening. Almond milk wasn’t bad, but tended to be a little sweet and make my shakes thick. I then had a real pina coloda one night with the coconut cream in it. I thought man I want to try the Coconut milk. I thought it would get rid of the thickness of the shake, be asd good if not better tasting that milk and certainly better than using water in my mix. I was Right!!!!! Coconut Water was the perfect middle road for me and has helped me stomach the shakes in the morning and was a huge contributor to my 75 pound weight loss in 7 months.
Viva la Coconut Water!! I bet it could double as a sun screen in an emergency too!
I did not know coconut water was so beneficial. Especially Items 7-9. Very excited to try some.
I had no idea coconut water had so many benefits, I would love to try some, especially as it promotes weight loss.
I grew up in Hawaii and have always LOVED coconut water, right out of the coconut. I took it for granted because I could just walk out back and grab a coconut. Now, living on the mainland, I don’t have access to it like that. Also, when I was younger and drinking it, I didn’t even realize it had any other benefit than tasting great!
My mom and I actually got a giggle out of people selling coconut water! Now that I know the benefits of it(other than just tasting great), I will be adding this to my own diet. I especially love that it’s low in calorie, low in sodium and that it promotes weight loss! This is amazing!
I love coconut pretty much anything but I have never had coconut water. After reading all the health benefits of it, I am definitely going to try it. I try to drink a lot of water, but it gets bleh boring. I hope that coconut water will help me to drink the water I need to be healthy!
I didn’t know about all the specific minerals, but I did notice that in tropical countries where the coconut trees grow everywhere, it is a common part of the diet. If you look around and see where the major longevity hotspots are in the world, Costa Rica is one of them. Could this be one of the reasons? It sure leaves a lot to think about!
Coconut water is great for the kidneys! It helps to prevent URI. My children have suffered many times with these types of urinary tract problems. Our doctor recommended coconut water and it works great. I would love to try this brand!
Never heard of the benefits of Coconut water until now. I usually drink Smart Water and eat very health. I think I’ll give it a try. The benefits are impressive.
Who would have thought coconut water could be so healthy for you. For folks who don’t care for the taste of water this is great!
I’ve heard great things about coconut water!
Dr Oz said to drink coconut water, so I bought some. It’s pretty good.Anything Dr. Oz says gets my attention.
I love to drink water but hate plain water or the unhealthy additives in some waters. Would really love to try the Coconut water as I think it would taste great and I would feel good about all the healthy benefits from drinking it.
I LOVE coconut water. I recently tried it and fell in love!! I tried your pineapple one and that is my favorite so far!!!!!!
I would love a free trial to be able to try something new and so natural. Thank you
Oh my gosh, I never realized how good coconut was for you!! I am so excited to try all the flavors!!
I have never tried coconut water but I love coconut and would love to try it first before I buy it. Sounds like it would be very tasty and will the all natural ingredients, think it would be good to have on hand at my house for myself and company.
I had no idea that coconut water was good for your skin, hair, and nails. I can’t wait to try this.
My annoying - um - I mean interesting 12 year old is always asking me for something to drink besides “boring water” and by “something to drink” she means “soda.” All the time I get asked for a soda. So, seriously, the other day she got so desperate that she asked me if I would buy her a coconut so she could try drinking the milk. And I’m not just saying that because I’m replying to this blog. I haven’t bought her the coconut yet (why would I drive to the store especially to buy a coconut that she would be afraid to drink?) and she has been been obsessed about drinking coconut milk. Now I can get her coconut water, she will get to feed her obsession with coconuts, and I will be tricking her into drinking water! What a great combination! Oh, and I want to drink it too. Now I’m thirsty. SO thirsty.
It’s astounding that we try with research and “our’ wisdom to reproduce something and only ruin it ( sports drinks) and God has provided it in nature (coconut water).
I love coconut and I like reason #7…lots of good vitamins is a plus too.
Coconut water is the perfect pre- and post beach drink. I never get that dragged out feeling that sometimes happens after a day in the sun.
My 4yr tried Coconut milk in preschool the other day and came home raving about it. I have never heard of drinking it until that point (have used it is cooking before) so know I am gathering info on it to see what it is about before i get him more. thanks for the great info!
I am gonna definitely try it. Number 8 reason is a good enough reason. I have never heard of this. It has so many health benefits. awesome!
I have two boys that play hard…I prefer to give them coconut water over any of the sports drinks that are available out there. It is all natural and good for your body. I also love to not only drink it but cook and bake with it as well. YUM!!! : )
Would love to try this…have lots of issues with different drinks, because of migraine triggers. Sounds hopeful. So many things I have tried in the past the sugars or sugar substitutes bother me.
Initially, I was going to let my dad know about this. But now I think Coconut product is just right for me. I have struggled long and hard to maintain an all-water drinking habit. It’s boring taste always leads me right back to pop. Coconut Water is naturally sweet, so I won’t face the cons that I face drinking pop!
In addition, weightloss, healthy skin, and healthy hair are all very important to me. Coconut water will help me acheive all that and more! I am excited to try this product! Not to mention I love coconut!
Sounds wonderful. Is there ANYTHING that is not good about coconut water? I think not!
I wondering where coconut water comes from.. Looking forward to trying it!!
I love that it is all natural and would love to try it!
11. The coconut (Cocos nucifera) can also be used to make alcohol.
Do I see another future coconut derived drink in the works?
the coconut meat is also rich in potassium and calcium.
it is also antimicrobial! which is good the intestinal tract!
Love live the coconut!
I think its great that there are always new ways to get healthier, making good tasting ways is great
Thanks so much for these great articles. This one really cleared up some myths I had heard about coconuts and I’m excited to try coconut water now.
I find it amazing that I was just reading that coconut water is very good for you and on the same day I find your product. Someone up there is telling me now is the time to get start on focusing on my health and not just my childrens’.
I have been taking coconut oil everyday & would love to try coconut water!
Oh, I really hate to say it - my husband introduced me to fresh coconut water in Mexico - on the beach - with sugar cane alcohol! I do love coconut water and my son is always asking us to buy coconuts. We hesitate because most of the ones in the store are bad. Would be nice to just get it and know it’s good!
Plain water is so boring. Coconut Water w/all of these ingredients sounds very good.
* Potassium
* Chloride
* Magnesium
* Calcium
* Phosphate
I cant wait to try it.
My whole family loves coconut water, especially during the summer months when we get a little too much sun. Nothing has worked as well to get us rehydrated and start feeling back to normal quickly. I try to keep some in the fridge at all times.
I didn’t realize there were so many benefits to coconut water! My daughter mentioned that her friend drinks it all the time, and it got me wondering, as I am trying to improve my health. Thank you very much for this article…I am convinced to give it a try
.
I have had mouth ulcers for yrs… but after drinking coconut water they vanish… they really cool the body heat.
this sounds like something I would really like to try. Most days, I can drink plain water, but sometimes, I just want something a little different!!!
wHERE IT HAS A NATURAL SWEETNER IN IT DOES ANY ONE HAVE ANY IDEA IF IT MAKES YOU THIRSY LIKE SPORTS DRINKS ?
WOW! I didn’t know coconut could do all that! I have always loved it but now that I know what it can do I will be drinking it more! My daughter, who hates to drink water and is allergic to cows’ milk loves this and now that I know all that it does I will buy more for her!
For me this isn’t ONLY alluring for the fact that something free is involved. For me, this is about getting back to basics and returning to good health. In this consumer-based market of energy drinks, bars, and waters, it’s sometimes difficult to ascertain what is the best… what is pure… what is bonafide.
I’m seeking a “drink” that I can use regularly, that will benefit me and my health.
Perhaps Phenom Coconut Water will take care of these values and concerns.
I never even heard of coconut water but now I really want to try it. It’s loaded with all kinds of good stuff for you!!
I never knew that coconut water was this good for you. And I agree bottled water is plain and it does get boring, I think it’s time to step it up a notch and try something new that is extremely healthy for you and can do so much.
Sounds like a lot of good reasons to try it. I have frequent digestive problems and have tried probiotics and enzymes with not much change, so I am hoping this could help.
I am diabetic and live the low carb lifestyle and have been thinking about trying coconut water. Does it rate low on the glycemic index?
Sounds really healthy!
This looks great! I love the fact that it’s natural, and that it’s low in sodium. Too much of what is supposed to be healthy seems to be not so. My kids will like to try this, too. They’re so bombarded by all of the sugary drinks out there-I’m glad to find a healthy alternative! Kind of funny to see the part about helping a hangover. I’m a tea-totaler, so that doesn’t interest me much. It makes me laugh, though, since this is such a HEALTHY product…kind of counter-intuitive to drink too much (unhealthy) alcohol to use this product as a remedy, no? I’m just sayin’!
WOW all ten reasons were excellent reasons to try Phenom coconut water. It will be a healthy drink choice.
I can’t wait to try this product. I learned so much about the benefits of coconut in my biochem class and just love anything coconut or coconut flavored…yummmm!!!!!!!!
Def willing to try. Not big on coconut but trying to become healthier
I didn’t know coconut water had potassium and calcium. I am always looking for ways to boost my intake. Thanks for the info!
After a long hard day in the heat, boring plain water just is not enough. I used to enjoy fresh lemon squeezed in my water but then that got old too. So I tried the coconut water…..mmmmm, what a special treat!
Sounds delish!!! I get so bored with plain old water, and I need to cut the caffeine out of my diet. I am excited to try this!!!
I never knew the benefits of coconut water until now.
I honestly had no idea coconut water was so good for you! I didnt know soda contained cholesterol! I cant wait to try this, I am real curious of how it will taste, as I love regular water! So this seems like it my be a treat with lots of benefits!
Had no idea coconut water had so many benifits! My wife and I have been looking for something other thanjuice for us and the kids.
@Joy - That’s so funny - my annoying/funny 14 year old asked me the same thing! We did buy him a coconut, and tried to crack it open to drink the coconut milk. I’m sure you know how this is going to turn out - I left it up to him to figure it out, and the result was lots of banging in the garage! All to no avail, he just dented the thing. His dad thought he should drill a hole in it, but the novelty had worn off by then, and no one ever did anything with that coconut. I would love to get him some coconut water - he plays lacrosse and comes home extremely sweaty. This would be a great way to replace those electrolytes!
I never knew coconut water had so many health benefits. I have actually tried coconut water before (Zion I think was the name), and it tasted pretty good. It is like water but with a hint of coconut; not too sweet at all. I am hoping to try this brand as well and taste the difference.
I know it says low calorie, but how many calories are in 8 oz of coconut water?
I LOVE coconut water! Im not a huge water drinker and substitute coco water alot- have never tried this brand but plan to! Look forward to tasting new flavors of it too!
I discovered coconut water about a year ago. It’s such a great alternative to plain water and has a great light taste to it. I have not tried this one yet and look forward to testing it out.
Sounds interesting - I’ve read a lot about coconut water and would love to try it.
I would like more details about number of calories and how many carbs (and especially grams of sugar) is in the coconut water for those of us that are particularly sensitive to these issues.
I was thrilled to read that coconut water is low in calories and is not sickeningly sweet like I had previous believed.
I wonder about the ‘flavors’ that these come in because I’m often greatly disappointed when I taste something that is suppose to be, let say orange, and it tastes nothing like a refreshing orange would taste. I’d love to try this product though and see if you can change my mind about flavoring. (Pssst… I’m a coconut fan and it’s going to be hard to convince me that coconut water shouldn’t taste like COCONUT!)
Growing up coconut water has always been a staple in my Caribbean home. My mother would have me drink a glass before soccer games to keep me hydrated, And now that im on my own and a vegan, coconut water has been a life saver!
Can coconut water be used on hair? It says it’s very hydrating and I know there are shampoos and conditioners with coconut milk, so could you also rinse with this water?
Wow, the benefits to drinking coconut water sound amazing. You guys did a great job with this top ten list! I never knew there was such a thing as coconut water before (only have heard of the coconut ‘milk’). This sounds like a great alternative to the other options out there.
This sounds like a great product that could easily replace all of the gatorades, powerades, etc. I love those drinks but I feel like they are full of sugar, and water is always the best choice. I can’t wait to try this to replenish after my busy lifestyle.
Learned a lot about the reasons to drink coconut water. I love coconut water anyway, now I know why it’s good for me!
I learned a lot about the reasons to drink coconut water. I love coconut water anyway, now I know why it’s good for me!
I was never aware of all the benefits of drinking this water!
i always loved drinking coconut water in the pacific islands fron GREEN coconuts and i am thrilled to find out that processing does not destroy the electrolytes in the GNC product. i have bought coconut water at the asian grocery stores but have not known whether they still contained the electrolytes or not.
I like number 6. Its hard to find stuff that is low in Sodium. I cant wait to try this…has to be better than gatorade lol.
Sounds interesting—
Love the fact that it promotes healthy skin and hair
I drink coconut water because it is soooo much more nutritious and delicious than gatorade which has corn syrup in it. Coconut water is a natural, healthful, necessary electrolyte filled “gatorade”. My money will never be spent on gatorade ever again. Coconut water is where its at!!!
Coconut?? Did someone say coconut? I am there! Love everything coconut and now I can get it in my bottled water. Awesome, cant wait to drink yum yum!
who knew coconut water was sooooooooooooo good for you !
Woot Woot, now gimme my sample haha
With high cholesterol, I am anxious to try this. Also did not know that coconut water is more hydrating then regular water.
my drink of choice is water. not that water is boring but sometimes i’d like a taste and i am getting bored with crystal light. this is the first i have heard of coconut water and it makes my mouth “water”!
I have never thought to drink coconut water, but after reading about all the nutritional values that it has I will give it a try. It sounds much more satisfying than bottled water.
I’ve always been curious about coconut water, but I always passed it up because I had assumed it to be unhealthy. So, it is great to hear that it actually has so many benefits!
I have always used coconut in my diet to aid in digestion and reduce my use of animal based products. I cannot wait to try this product.
I had read some very interesting things about coconut OIL being so healthful— and I use it in cooking and for skin care. It’s great to learn about all of the terrific benefits of coconut water— Great way to keep hydrated and great taste all at the same time. Plain old water serves its purpose, but WOW this will be great to add to the work out routine!
I love coconut and HATE plain water! Vitamins are always a plus as well, in my age category:(
Low in sodium is enough to attract me.
I am definitely excited to try Hydro, I have read that coconut water promotes weight loss, keeps your body hydrated , raisies your metabolisim and well that works for me. I recently had a hysterctomy at age 35 and have been sent into full menopause, this product seems to be able to give me additional nutrients I need. Can’t wait to try it.
With summer coming and the hot weather with it, this will be a great alternative to the usual electrolyte enhanced beverages I normally drink. I love coconut, so that is an added bonus. I can’t wait to try this product!
AHHH, THIS SEEMS SO INTERESTING!
I would love to try this sometime, my hangovers are horrible and i dont like to drink 8 gallons of water before bed…. if i can remember. also it looks beneficial for workouts and healthy skin and hair… awesome.
I have never liked drinking plain water. Is it okay to use this as a good alternative to getting my daily water intake?
My husband and I have become very interested in our health and particularly natural and organic products. We recently started learning about the benefits of coconut and have been using coconut oil for both cooking and skin care. In your blogs I have now learned about coconut water, and I would be so pleased to have a coupon for a free bottle to try. Thank you very much.
I love Coconut! I have tried another brand of coconut water that was not good and would love to try this. I would love to have a change from plain water. A lot of other flavored waters have to many added things.
Looks yummy, can’t wait to try it!
ive never tried this before, but sounds great
can’t wait to try it
This sounds like an awesome alternative to plain water or Gaterade after/during sporting events. Can’t wait to try it and see all of the benefits it can provide. LOVE natural products that are great for me!
Anything with coconut is for me! AND it had vitamins? I’ll probably be hooked after one sip!
i have been wanting to try coconut water it sounds like its full of good thigs to try
I am excited to try this!! I love that we are finally getting other beverages than soda, coffee, etc. It’s so nice to see natural products that are healthy!! It’s also great for people, like me, who don’t drink as much water as they should because it’s just kind of boring. THANK YOU!
It sounds like coconut water is a great choice that comes with much more physical benefits than just plain water. It provides good incentives for drinking it.
Love that its all natural! I run 2-2.5 hours a day, but avoid sports drinks because of the sugar/fat content and other ingredients. I can’t wait to try this!
love the part about the hangover
I have been hearing so much about coconut water recently. I can’t wait to give it a try. All the benefits to drinking it is wonderful!
Have always had a hard time simply drinking “water” throughout the day. I like having options and imo this is a great one. Tastes fine, good nutrients. Just thinking that I’m doing something “healthy” also tends to benefit me greatly as well. It’s a good product and I’ll likely continue to drink it. Is a bit costly, but so is just about anything that is good for you anymore.
Coconut water is so full of potassium - I love it!!
I drink coconut water from time to time, and it’s absolutely delicious!! What a great alternative to plain water
I love a healthy and new drink that tastes awesome.
I find that I am adding “real” flavorings to my water to make it better and easier for me to consume. I want to have a post-workout drink that I enjoy and don’t have to add anything to to make it taste good. This just may be what I have been looking for!
This is great material and very informative. I am really looking forward to trying the Phenom Coconut water!
Coconut water sound great for you-I can’t wait to try it.
I hate drinking water, but maybe I’ll try this!
I am a huge fan of all natural products. Can’t wait to try this! Thanks
I would love to try this stuff. Especially for reason #8. Ive been on a diet for a good while.
Shila
have you tried it yet? my daughter also has PCOS and is pre diabetic. We are always on the lookout for something that is good for her to drink that won’t aggravate her conditions. This sounds like it would be good for everyone.
thanks!
I have never heard of or tried Conconut water before but after reading all the good things it does for you, I can’t wait to try it.
I’ve heard alot of info on coconut water, and it’s benefits. I am always looking for healthy alternative to plain water. I look forward to trying your product.
Where do I get a coupon?
I can personally attest to how amazing the benefits of coconut water are. It is one of the first things I reach for when I feel myself catching a cold or other bug, and nothing beats it on a hot day! It’s nature’s sports drink-yummy and effective!
I am loving everything coconut lately (oil, flour, butter) but have yet to try the water. So interesting!
I love the taste of coconut. I work out and I try to eat a healthy diet. The information on this website is very interesting and I’m looking forward to trying Phenom Coconut Water.
I love anything that is healthy and good for you. Not only is coconut water good for your health by replenishing your electrolytes but it has benefits to your hair and nails. I love that it is a better alternative to sugary sports drinks with added chemicals.
Were you aware that coconut water was naturally sterile? The water enters the coconut by filtering through the husk.
After reading about this product I definitely have to try it. I work in a warehouse and in the summer its always so hot loading trucks. I find myself constantly drinking water due to always feeling dehydrated!! Can’t wait to try it!!
In addition to just drinking coconut water, I also love using it as the liquid
base for my morning smoothie/shakes! When mixed with protein sources,
it gives me long lasting energy to make it through my mornings.
i dnt like drinking water…but i love coconut everything this will definately get me to drink water alot more
This is good info, it’s worth giving it a try!
One of the things that I’ve noticed with sports drinks is that the more you need one, the harder they are to drink. Gatorade while sitting at your desk is somewhat bland. Gatorade after a marathon is almost too sweet to drink. When you need to get electrolytes back in you, water won’t work and most sports drinks are unpalatable. I’ve honestly found this to be the perfect balance of palatability and nutrition.
Thanks for the good information.
This is so cool… I love coconut juice! ^_^
I think drinking cocnut water before the gym is the perfect natural pre workout because it supplys you with electrolyts for hydration and simple carbs for energy! Also a good post workout drink aswell!
I’ve been wanting to try coconut water!
I tried Phenom Energy Lime Mojito for the first time yesterday - the results in just the first day (returned my regularity) in just hours. I can’t wait to see what happens in the first week with my workouts!!!
Sounds great! Can’t wait to try it!
I have been looking for an alternative to the flavored waters that contain aspartame, this could be just the thing. Can’t wait to try it.
Interesting. I’ve tried coconut milk but wasn’t too impressed because the fat content seemed a little high. It was an organic brand I purchased at the store - so I like that this is naturally fat free!!
Can’t wait to try this. And I very anxious to try the moisturizing part in my bath
My acupuncturist told me that I was deficient in a certain nutrients and that I should start drinking coconut water. She said because I am tired and that i live in a hot area like Las Vegas, my body needs to be replenished!
It makes me happy that well-informed people think about this subject finally.
