Coconut water and its benefits.

I really coconut and its water. stumbled on it when gathering my beauty, body and health ingredient. I decided to include it in my "routine" after the research I did on it. Coconut water is a great source of electrolytes, filled with vitamins, amino acids, and potassium, necessary for proper hydration. Electrolytes are also necessary for proper muscle contraction and to generate energy in the body.

It is naturally refreshing, coconut water has a sweet, nutty taste. It contains easily digested carbohydrate in the form of sugar and alkalizing your system.Not to be confused with high-fat coconut milk or oil, coconut water is a clear liquid in the fruit’s center that is tapped from young, green coconuts.

It has fewer calories, less sodium, and more potassium than a sports drink. Ounce per ounce, most unflavored coconut water contains 5.45 calories, 1.3 grams sugar, 61 milligrams (mg) of potassium, and 5.45 mg of sodium compared to Gatorade, which has 6.25 calories, 1.75 grams of sugar, 3.75 mg of potassium, and 13.75 mg of sodium. **

Coconut water has less sugar than many sports drinks and much less sugar than sodas and some fruit juices. Plain coconut water could be a better choice for adults and kids looking for a beverage that is less sweet. But don’t overdo it.

I will be making videos of my routine soon. Comment, like and share.
