Coconut Water A Healthy Alternative to Sports Drinks

We’ve been hearing it for years: electrolytes are key for quick and effective hydration. Sports drinks advertise them, enhanced water brands add them, and now coconut water is making a splash by focusing on its natural electrolyte content. Some swear by the rehydrating power of coconut water while others just like the taste. Either way, coconut water appears to be here to stay. Coconut water is the water that is naturally found within coconuts. It has been the survival strategy of Robinson Crusoe-type island survivalists and a delicious treat throughout any region that supports coconut palms. Now, coconut water is being touted for its health benefits. It is a natural source of such natural minerals as Potassium, an electrolyte and essential nutrient, and it also boasts a high antioxidant content, allowing some to argue that coconut water can be an dietary element in cancer prevention.
