The goodness of Coconut water

Hi Singapore Parents

Do you know that coconut water contains organic compounds possessing healthy growth promoting properties that can help:

  • Keep the body cool and at the proper temperature
  • Orally re-hydrate your body, it is an all natural isotonic beverage
  • Carry nutrients and oxygen to cells
  • Naturally replenish your body’s fluids after exercising
  • Raise your metabolism
  • Promote weight loss
  • Boost your immune system
  • Detoxify and fight viruses
  • Cleanse your digestive tract
  • Control diabetes
  • Aid your body in fighting viruses that cause the flu, herpes, and AIDS
  • Balance your PH and reduce risk of cancer
  • Treat kidney and urethral stones
  • Boost poor circulation

   

Coconut water is naturally low in carbohydrates,  99% fat free and low in sugars.  Contrary to traditional belief, coconut water is:

  • more nutritious that whole milk - less fat and no cholesterol
  • more healthy than orange juice - much lower calories
  • better than processed baby milk - it contains lauric acid which is present in human mother’s milk
  • naturally sterile - water permeates though the filtering husk
  • a universal donor - it is identical to human blood plasma
  • a natural isotonic beverage - the same level we have in our blood

Based on a 100 ml drink, coconut water:

  • contains more potassium (about 294 mg) than most sports drinks (117 mg) and most energy drinks
  • has less sodium (25 mg) where sports drinks have around 41 mg and energy drinks about 200 mg
  • has 5 mg of natural sugars where sports and energy drinks range from 10 - 25 mg of altered sugars
  • is very high in chloride at 118 mg, compared to sports drinks at about 39 mg

So parents, do consider coconut water as a regular booster than the usual sports or energy drinks.
