Health Benefits of Drinking Coconut Water

If there's one fruit that can bear water better than all the rest, it's the coconut. Not only could this fruit save your life when stranded on an island (though, you'll likely never come to that), it could wonderfully sustain your body with some essential nutrients as well. The liquid found beneath its thick shell is pure, potable water we can easily get our hands on from most supermarkets today. It's tastier than regular water, and it comes with these amazing health benefits too:
 
1. Supports weight-Loss  Despite being tasty, coconut water is extremely low in fat, meaning that you can consume as much of it as you want, guilt-free. It will also make you feel fuller than the water you normally drink, because of its rich mineral content.
2. Improves your skin's health
Coconut water is one of the best things you could ever give to your skin, especially if you have acne or other blemishes. In fact, we come across various skin care products that contain extracts of coconut, and now we see why. To clear up and tone your skin, simply apply some coconut water. It can even show improvements in the skin if ingested orally, as it moisturizes it from within and eliminates excessive oils.

3. Helps in hangover recovery
If you've been out all night and have overdone it with alcohol, you'll find it relieving to know that you have a stock of coconut water handy in your home the next morning. It's the ultimate hangover remedy that will help settle your stomach and replace the essential electrolytes you lost in urination or vomiting.
4. Aids digestion
Coconut water is also helpful when it comes to the digestion process. If you occasionally feel that you're having difficulty digesting certain foods, you're likely to feel better by drinking this water. It prevents indigestion while also reducing the occurrence of acid reflux, due to its high concentration of fiber.

5. Promotes hydration  Not even sports and energy drinks are quite as good as coconut water in this regard. Compared to these popular drinks, coconut water contains double the amount of potassium (294 mg) and five times less sugar (5 mg natural sugar), per glass. Sodium count is only 25 mg, which is lower compared to the 41 mg found in sports drinks.
6. Controls blood pressure
Electrolytes in food may trigger high blood pressure if found in disproportionate amounts. Coconut water contains a balanced amount of these, making it a perfect natural controller of the body's blood pressure. A good way to reap this great benefit is to drink this water every morning.
7. A rich source of nutrients
The most nutrient-rich water has got to be coconut water. The aforementioned electrolytes present in this water include calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and sodium - all of which are essential to the human body. It is also suitable for people with varying medical conditions.
8. Compatible with human blood
Its incomparable taste and superb health benefits aren't the only reasons why coconut water is so widely sought after. This amazing natural beverage can be used in emergencies, as a fast way of re-hydration. It is also commonly used in poorer, third-world countries as an exceptional life-saver.

What's the recommended healthy dosage?
According to experts from the Mayo Clinic, it is recommended that consuming large amounts of coconut water should be accompanied by an active lifestyle, since each eight-ounce serving contains 45 to 60 calories. While it's good to take this advice, there's no strict rule about its consumption.
Coconut water can be enjoyed as a stand-alone beverage or even combined with other liquid products. If you're extracting it from fresh coconuts, be sure to go for the ones that are young and green, rather than the mature ones with a hard brown shell. The more mature a coconut is, the less the supply of coconut water substance it will have. To test this, you can simply shake the fruit to find out how much liquid it contains.
