Rehydrates the Body:
Coconut water is an excellent thirst quencher to beat tropical summer
thirst. Because of its electrolyte composition, coconut water is also used to
rehydrate the body in case of dehydration and fluid loss due to diarrhea,
vomiting or excessive sweating. A good source of carbohydrates, it also helps
lift your energy level.
Lowers Blood Pressure:
Coconut water is considered good for controlling high blood pressure,
thanks to its vitamin C, potassium and magnesium content. Potassium, in
particular, helps lower blood pressure by balancing out the negative effects of
sodium.
Heart Tonic: Cholesterol – and fat- free tender coconut
water offers cardio protective benefits. It helps lower low-density lipoprotein
(LDL or the “bad” cholesterol) levels, thus reducing the risk of heart disease.
Relieves Hangovers: Coconut water is also a great natural remedy for hangovers. Alcohol robs your body of hydration and this dehydration causes your morning-after booze blues. Coconut water replenishes the electrolytes in the body and boost hydration, thus making you feel better.
Treats Headaches: Most headaches, even migraines, are triggered by dehydration. In such eases, coconut water can be of great help in supplying electrolytes to the body and boosting hydration.
