Benefits of vitamin-rich coconut water

While I was waiting for my coffee at Whole Foods, during one of those rare mornings when I didn’t feel like making coffee at home, with my excuse that I had to rush out of the house for an eyebrow appointment, I spotted a full-size display stand of coconut water with its benefits plastered all over it. 

It was indeed a good reminder that, although I do like coffee in the morning, it would be better if I added more coconut water to my routine. In fact, while coffee has many benefits like antioxidants, it also dehydrates you. I am not bad-mouthing coffee by any means, as it is more than just a drink, it’s a ritual for me, but why not look more into coconut water to start the day.

Why has it become so trendy in recent years? For a start, it is incredibly hydrating and it is loaded with vitamins, minerals and a bunch of other critical nutrients. The water itself is found mostly in green young coconuts and it’s meant to nourish the fruit while it matures. Each fruit houses an average of ½ to 1 cup of water which is incredibly beneficial as it contains hardly any fat, unlike coconut milk which has grated pulp in it. 

Rich in antioxidants and electrolytes Coconut Water is the go to drink to rehydrate and replenish lost minerals.

One of the main benefits of coconut water is that it’s rich in antioxidants, which help prevent oxidative stress. It has also shown to be more effective than regular water to prevent kidney stones. 

But my absolute favorite thing about this precious liquid is that it's the perfect workout drink, because it is filled with electrolytes, like magnesium and potassium, which replenish the body of the minerals lost after exercise. 

And you know what else contains electrolytes and it’s the perfect hydration drink? Cure Electrolyte solutions, made with coconut water and pink Himalayan salt. I add cure everyday to my water, whether I exercise or not, and my skin can’t get enough of it!
