Coconut water is the second purest liquid on this planet. As the use of it widens in the treatments of health conditions, the benefits of coconut water become further validated. Coconut water is identical to human blood plasma and the naturally sterile water has been saving lives in third world countries for years via the coconut IV.  Today, it's popularity as a health drink is rapidly growing as news of this natural elixir spreads. 

Coconut water is a natural electrolyte replacement with the same elctrolyte balance as we have in our own blood.  It contains more potassium and less sodium than most sports drinks and regulates the PH level of the body- reducing the risk of cancer.  The water is an isotonic solution and replaces minerals and fluids lost during physical activities  while also regulating body temperature and carrying nutrients and oxygen to the cells of the body.   As a weight loss aid, the natural water raises the metabolism, cleanses the digestive tract and regulates blood sugar. The water is 99% fat free and low in sugars and carbs.

Instead of opting for a high sugar sports drink, next time try natural coconut water instead.
