Alternative to Sport Drinks

Mmm... When drinking coconut water last summer during my vacation in Cuba, I never realized how much good it was doing to me. Did you know that coconut water is high in potassium and relatively low in calories and is thought to be a good alternative to sports drinks? I just found this out! Coconut water is a fat free drink with only 15 calories per 100 grams! It is thought to be able to boost your immune system, break down kidney stones, fight viruses, and help digestive track.


Imagine, in the past people believed that coconut water cured headaches and other ailments. During the Pacific War of 1941-45, both sides in the conflict regularly used coconut water to give emergency plasma transfusions to wounded soldiers. That’s the power of the coconut!

Pictured above, are my boyfriend’s hands pealing a coconut, so his girlfriend could enjoy it afterwards. And she truly did! Along with its healthy benefits, coconut water is very refreshing in a hot weather.

Make sure to have a sip of coconut water once in a while. It won’t harm!
