If you have ever visited Brazil, you will see Coconut Water Carts on every corner selling fresh and natural coconut water to clients seeking a healthy alternative to Soft Drinks and unhealthy beverages. Coconut water may be the perfect beverage for restoring hydration and replenishing electrolytes lost during exercise. Electrolytes are minerals that play several important roles in your body, including maintaining proper fluid balance. They include potassium, magnesium, sodium and calcium.
Coconut water is packed with nutrients and low in calories, since it’s mostly water (about 95 percent), says Axe. One cup of coconut water contains about 46 calories, almost 3 grams of fiber, 11 to 12 grams of natural sugar, and plant compounds and electrolytes such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, and srus, says Vavrek. “The electrolyte content depends based on the maturity of the coconut, so the amounts in coconut water may vary,†she adds. But it has especially high levels of potassium—â€one cup contains approximately 600 milligrams or 12 percent of your daily value,†says Axe.
