COCONUT WATER has become one of my favorite thirst quenchers as of late! In this summertime heat it's important to stay hydrated, especially after doing an intense workout or hot yoga class. Avoid the sports drinks and energy drinks that claim to replenish your body because they are high in unnatural sugars and empty calories which lead to fat storage. Instead, reach for COCONUT WATER!! This amazing drink has natural fiber as well as POTASSIUM, MAGNESIUM, PHOSPHOROUS, SODIUM and CALCIUM - important electrolytes that help re-balance and replenish the body. This drink is especially beneficial to individuals with hypertension or high blood pressure. Studies have shown that drinking coconut water decreases high blood pressure in 71% of people!!
There are also no preservatives, fats or cholesterol in coconut water and only about 5mg of natural sugars (compared to 10-25mg of refined sugars in sports/energy drinks.) In addition, coconut water boosts your immune system, improves blood circulation, helps decrease the intensity of acid reflux, boosts metabolism and can help with hangovers! I mean if Madonna is an investor in the brand Vita Coco, it's got to be good for you right? :)
