Why Coconut Water is Good For You

Why Coconut Water is Good For You

If you’re looking for a delicious way to improve your overall health or lose weight, then you should start drinking coconut water. Coconut water is full of vital nutrients like potassium, magnesium, and antioxidants that can help balance your electrolytes, lower blood sugar and blood pressure, and reduce stress levels. Drinking coconut water is a great way to hydrate your body and get the nutrients you need. And it tastes great too! Here are some of the reasons why you should start drinking coconut water today.

What is coconut water?

Coconut water is the clear liquid inside a young, immature, green coconut. It’s often called “nature’s sports drink”, or even ‘The Fluid of life’. This is because it’s a good source of electrolytes and minerals, and it’s low in calories. Coconut water is also a popular ingredient in many health and beauty products.

In tropical areas of the world where coconut palms grow naturally, people have used coconut water for centuries as a natural remedy for a variety of ailments. And, more recently in the Western world, it’s rapidly gaining popularity as a health drink. According to Women’s Health magazine, in 2020 the worldwide market value of coconut water was around $4.25 billion. And, in 2023 this figure is expected to rise to $8.3 billion.

Where does coconut water come from?

The liquid is present in the fruits of certain varieties of palm trees, including the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera). Coconut water is harvested from these trees when the coconuts are still young and green, around 6-7 months of age. In comparison, coconut milk is made by adding water to the grated flesh, or meat, of mature coconuts. Coconuts mature when they are aged 10-12 months.

Is coconut water natural?

Yes! Coconut water is a completely natural product with no added sugars or artificial ingredients. However, some brands may add other ingredients like vitamins or minerals. The water is usually sold in bottles or cartons. Be sure to check the label if you’re looking for a pure, natural product. You may also like to read our post about the health benefits of red wine.

Nutrients in coconut water

One of the main reasons for its popularity is the high level of nutrients it contains. Coconut water is around 95% water, but it’s also a great source of potassium, magnesium, and calcium, all of which are essential for maintaining healthy bones and muscles. It also contains electrolytes, which help to keep the body hydrated. In addition, coconut water is naturally fat-free and low in calories and sugar, making it a healthy choice for those who are trying to lose weight.

How coconut water can help improve your health

Coconut water is a natural way to improve your health in lots of ways. For example, it contains antioxidants that can help to protect your cells from damage and boost your immune system. It’s also full of electrolytes, which can help to balance your body’s fluids and maintain healthy blood pressure levels. When we sweat, our potassium and sodium levels drop, and replenishing our potassium helps to balance our electrolyte levels. Potassium and magnesium also help to prevent muscle cramps after exercising.

One cup (250ml) of coconut water contains 600milligrams of potassium. This equates to an impressive 16% of our daily recommended intake! Most of us know that bananas are a great source of potassium, but in comparison, one of medium size contains just 420mg. Coconuts also feature in another of our blog posts: “The Best Low-Sugar Fruits to Lose Weight.”

Because coconut water contains electrolytes like potassium and magnesium, several studies have found that it may be more beneficial than water for rehydration after exercise. Also, coconut water surprisingly contains substantially more potassium than many so-called “sports drinks”, that people use for rehydrating after a workout!

Coconut water is also a great source of magnesium. Magnesium has many functions, but it’s often called the “relaxation mineral”, because it can help to reduce stress levels and promote a sense of calm. It also helps us to sleep better and produce serotonin, which is our “happy hormone.” Finally, the lauric acid in coconut water has antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral properties, which all help to boost your immune system.

Coconut water helps you stay young!

Scientific research has concluded that tender coconut water is the richest natural dietary source of cytokinins! And what does that mean exactly? Well cytokinins have anti-ageing, anticarcinogenic and antithrombotic effects on the body. So maybe coconut water really is the ‘elixir of life’!

Drinking coconut water for weight loss

Coconut water is often lauded as a weight-loss miracle, and for good reason. This natural beverage is low in calories and sugar, which makes it ideal for those trying to lose weight. It also contains several bioactive enzymes that aid digestion and boost the body’s metabolism, so you burn more calories. In addition, studies have shown that coconut water helps to lower blood sugar by improving insulin sensitivity. This is important because high blood sugar levels can lead to overeating and weight gain.

Additionally, the NDTV website suggests drinking coconut water on an empty stomach can help kickstart your metabolism and speed up weight loss. When combined with a healthy diet and some physical activity, drinking coconut water may just help you reach your weight-loss goals faster and more easily! So, if you’re looking to lose weight in a healthy way, be sure to drink plenty of coconut water!

Why you should start drinking coconut water today!

If you’re looking for a delicious way to improve your health and help you lose weight too, look no further than coconut water. There are several reasons why you should start drinking coconut water today!

In addition, coconut water is not only low in calories and sugar, but it also contains a variety of vitamins and minerals that can boost health. Coconut water has even been shown to improve cardiovascular health and reduce blood pressure.

Tip No. 1 – Only Eat When You’re Hungry!

This has to be our number one, golden rule, when it comes to achieving successful weight loss. In our experience, most overweight people eat for many different reasons, other than physical hunger. But, if you allow your emotions to control your eating habits, then it is unlikely that you will be able to control your weight as a result. So, before you reach for anything to eat, stop and ask yourself first if you physically NEED to eat, or you just WANT to…

Tip No. 2 – Use a Smaller Plate!

You’ve probably heard this many times before, but it’s a fact that people who use larger plates tend to eat more food than those who eat from smaller plates. No doubt you know about the power of optical illusions. But are you aware of just how much more generous the same size portion of food appears, when presented on a smaller plate, instead of a larger one? Have a look at the image below. It’s known as the Delboeuf optical illusion. If you stick to our mantra, “always go for quality over quantity”, then you will definitely lose weight much more easily.

Tip No. 3 – Drink a Glass or Two of Water Before Your Meal!

Reduce your calorie intake by over 20%, with almost with no effort! Research results, published by Harvard Medical showed that people who drank two large glasses of water, just before eating, on average, consumed around 20% less food compared with when they didn’t drink anything before they ate. This is possibly as a result of the stretching and fullness sensation in the stomach.

Tip No. 4 – Eat Slowly and Mindfully!

A growing number of studies have consistently found a correlation between speed of eating and weight, so it is officially accepted now that faster eaters are definitely more likely to become overweight. Studies have also shown that people are much more likely to eat more when their eating is mindless, as opposed to mindful. So, make meal times an occasion by sitting down at a table, with no distractions. Then eat slowly and savour every mouthful. You will naturally eat less food and also find it easier to lose weight as a result!

Tip No. 5 – Stay Away From Sugar and Highly Processed Foods!

It’s a fact that sugar and highly processed foods have addictive properties! So much so, that many people find that once they start eating these foods, they literally can’t stop. And, of course, if you’re making such poor food choices, this in turn will make it almost impossible for you to lose weight. So, our advice is to choose healthy, unprocessed foods and limit the amount of sugar you consume. As a result, you will have far more control over how much you eat and also how much weight you can lose.

Tip No. 6 – Eat Your Favourite Foods on the Plate First!

You may not be aware of how important this tip is, but the order in which you eat your food can actually have a big impact on how much you consume! It’s quite common for overweight people to “save the best til last” when eating. In other words they only eat their favourite food right at the end. It’s not so surprising then, that they also tend to eat everything on their plate, regardless of how uncomfortably full they feel. Because, of course, they don’t want to miss out on the “best bit”!

However, our advice is to eat your favourite things first. Not only will you enjoy it more, but it’s also much easier to stop when you’ve eaten just the right amount and leave the rest on the plate.
