Health Benefits of Coconut Water




Tender coconuts, from young green coconuts, contain about 200 to 1,000 ml of coconut water i.e., approximately 1 to 4 cups. Being a low-calories refreshing and delicious beverage, it contains more nutrients than mature coconuts. Packed with antioxidants, anti-ageing and anticancer properties, vitamin C, minerals, calcium, potassium, manganese, zinc, enzymes, amino acids, etc. drinking coconut water is the best health booster.
Opt for fresh and pure coconut water over the processed or bottle version and enjoy the following benefits:

1.       Rehydrate the body
Coconut water is considered to be an excellent thirst quencher especially during summer season. Its electrolyte composition rehydrates the body during cases of dehydration and fluid loss.

2.       Lower blood pressure
Coconut water helps regulate blood pressure due to the presence of vitamin C, magnesium and potassium content. Potassium balances out the negative effect of sodium in the body.

3.       Heart tonic
Coconut water is cholesterol and fat free and offers cardioprotective benefits. It helps increase high-density lipoprotein and lowers low-density lipoprotein thereby, reducing the risk of heart disease.

4.       Promotes weight loss
Coconut water is considered to be an ideal beverage for weight loss because of its low calorie content. The various bioactive enzymes in coconut water aid digestion and boost fat metabolism.
