what are the advantages of drinking coconut water........please give honest answers?

Answer 1

On my first visit to St. Croix, I had a really nice driver named JJ who met me at the airport. I was only there for a day to do some research and take in the local color. He was driving me through an exclusive gated community when he suddenly stopped in front of one home and went and grabbed a fresh coconut that had fallen on the ground. He quickly opened the back of his van and took out a machete from beneath some blankets. He placed the coconut on the ground and with one good whack cut off the top. Then he told me to drink the water. Of course, you never argue with a man holding a machete and found that the warm, slightly sweet clear liquid was the most delicious drink I have ever had.

JJ told me he believed it was great for detoxifying the body, especially the kidneys.

Here's additional information I just found on living-foods.com:

coconut water is still consumed fresh in tropical coastal areas - once exposed to air, the liquid rapidly loses most of its organoleptic and nutritional characteristics, and begins to ferment.

* Coconut Water is More Nutritious than whole milk - Less fat and NO cholesterol!

Coconut water contains more potassium (at about 294 mg) than most sports drinks (117 mg) and most energy drinks.

Coconut water has less sodium (25mg) where sports drinks have around 41mg and energy drinks have about 200 mg!

Coconut water has 5mg of Natural Sugars where sports and energy drinks range from 10-25mg of Altered Sugars.

Coconut water is very high in Chloride at 118mg, compared to sports drinks at about 39mg.

Tender coconut water is the nature’s purest drink the medicinal value of which has already been established beyond doubt. It is recommended in cases of gastro-enteritis and as a useful substitute to saline glucose. It is also prescribed in serious cases of diarrhoea and vomiting against dehydra­tion. It increases blood circulation in the kidney and also serves as a urinary antiseptic.
