Coconut water supports the body!


Look at what coconut water can do for you! Honestly, I only use to drink this when I was hungover hehe.. But now I after reading this article, I know that I need to add this to my diet more often. And by drinking sweetened ones but the normal coconut water. Does anyone drink this regularly?? 


1. Improving Heart & Kidney Health- Reduces risk of hypertension and strokes. Caused by high blood pressure, and drinking lots of coconut water can lower your BP levels to a healthy value. Coconut water in your diet prevents and help treat kidney stones. 

 2. Preventing Dehydration-The potassium content in the coconut also helps maintain water pressure in your cells, rehydrating those cells and keeping them healthy during intense physical activity.

 3. Brain & Kidney Fuel- High electrolyte content in the coconut water can improve the function of your nervous system and nerve transmission. 

 4. Aids in Digestion- The enzymes in the coconut water can actually boost your metabolism. 
5. Building a Strong Immune System- Helps the immune system fight against infections, while also taking care of any issues like worms or candida.
