Just rode about 30km from Parramatta to Homebush to Ryde to Strathfield and back alongside beautiful mangroves and marshlands by sunset. Then I smashed a whole coconut before I even took my sweaty helmet off! Loving my new bike and exploring Sydneys beautiful cycle ways! :) Coconut water is the ultimate thirst quencher and offers a tasty alternative to water. This pure liquid is packed with nutrients and electrolytes that yield an array of health benefits. Heres my video on how to open a coconut: https://facebook/photo.php?v=614466088614283&set=vb.555602084500684&type=3&theater Benefits of Coconut Water: 1. Boosts Hydration - Natures Electrolytes. The ingredients in coconut water are way more effective at hydrating the human body than those of sports and energy drinks. 2. Picture Perfect Skin. For those with acne or other blemishes on the surface of the skin, topical application of coconut water can go a great distance as it has the ability to clear up and subsequently tone the skin. It also moisturizes the skin from within if ingested orally and eliminates large amounts of oil. This explains why products such as facial creams, shampoos, conditioners and lotions that contain traces of coconut extract are more effective. 3. The Ultimate Hangover Remedy. Next time you overdo it and drink more than your belly can handle, consume coconut water to settle your stomach. It will also replace those essential electrolytes that exit the body if you experience bouts of frequent urination and vomiting. 4. Facilitates Digestion. If you constantly encounter difficulty during the digestion process, coconut water may provide a source of relief. It aids in the prevention of indigestion and reduces the occurrence of acid reflux. 5. Reduces Blood Pressure. In many instances, a disproportionate level of electrolytes can result in high blood pressure. Because coconut water contains an adequate supply of each, it can be used as a balancing mechanism. In some instances, it is recommended that coconut water be consumed at the start of each day to foster the balance of these electrolytes. 6. Rich in Nutrients. Unlike any other beverage on the market, coconut water contains five essential electrolytes that are present in the human body. These include: calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium and sodium. Because of its unique composition, coconut water can be enjoyed by individuals with varying medical conditions. 7. Compatible with Human Blood. Since it is isotonic to human plasma, coconut water can be used in extreme emergencies to quickly rehydrate the human body if administered intravenously. It is not uncommon for the drink to be used in poorer, third-world countries to save human lives.
