A recent study claims that coconut water contains antioxidant benefits that prove better than soda and sports drink with added vitamins and sugar.
Coconut water, the clear liquid found inside the coconut, has five key electrolytes including potassium at levels 15 times higher than sports drinks. This has been used for years in tropical regions like Central America, Asia, Trinidad and Tobago as a perfect replacement for sports drinks that are on the market today. It has also reported that celebrities like Demi Moore and Madonna were spotted drinking it for its health benefits.
In addition, it is high in antioxidants which help body scavenge dangerous free radicals that can degenerate cells. Antioxidants are also known to help prevent cancer, ward off neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s and degenerative diseases such as premature aging, sagging skin, wrinkling, and bone problems, just to name a few.
This liquid has been dubbed by UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization officer as “fluid of life” some ten years ago. Now, popularity of coconut water is growing fast as people learn about the health and beauty benefits of this island fruit.
