Coconut Water

One of the most refreshing drinks of the summer is coconut water. Coconut water re-hydrates the body and carries nutrients and oxygen to cells. It increases metabolism and promotes weight loss. It boosts the immune system by fighting viruses. It can help reduce blood pressure and increase healthy circulation. It balances the HP levels and cleans the digestive track as well as treats kidney stones. It is great for the skin and it provides anti-aging benefits. Coconut water is one of the highest sources of electrolytes which is packed with vitamins and minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and zinc.

Coconut water sounds like a miracle liquid, but finding a good option with no added sugar is not easy. Look at the list of ingredients and gravitate towards the ones with only organic coconut water or 100% coconut water. Even better, try to find fresh coconut water with green, young and tender shells.
