coconut water ... to drink or not to drink


So, I did some research on coconut water because I was getting some mixed reviews from a few of my friends about coconut water.  Is it really beneficial or not???

Here are some facts:

  • Coconut water has 15 times more potassium then any sports drink
  • There is a huge difference between drinking coconut juice from a coconut that is green rather then brown.  When the juice derives from a brown coconut that means that the coconut is old and that means the coconut juice has turned into fat! 
  • Green coconuts have a total of 5 electrolytes!
    • Sodium
    • Magnesium
    • Calcium
    • Potassium
    • Phosphorus
  • Boosts the immune system
  • More hydrating then water!
  • No sugar added
  • Energy booster
  • Increases metabolic rate which can lead to weight loss
  • ZERO fat
  • ZERO cholesterol
  • ALL natural - coconut water has been used as an intravenous fluid and saves lives
