Taking a holiday? With the summer heat, any way is a good way to cool down. Therefore, today we present a nice and original way to keep you well hydrated while you travel; coconut water.

Coconut water has gained massive popularity in recent years, as a more than healthy alternative to soft drinks. Its natural water, low calorie content and high content of electrolytes make it perfect for anybody that wants to take care of their body.

Electrolytes facilitate the functioning of the nervous system and nerve transmission. Coconut water contains electrolytes; sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus. One glass of this tropical drink contains more potassium than a banana. Potassium regulates heart rate and helps with muscle function.  

Now.. What exactly is coconut water? It is obtained from the liquid inside the coconut itself. The greener the coconut, the more nutrients the liquid has. Brown coconuts tend to be used more for the meat, not for their liquid.

Many athletes have said goodbye to energy drinks and instead opt for coconut water because it is perfect to quench thirst and combat the heat.

Why not try it? Coconut water is refreshing, loaded with electrolytes to keep you hydrated and very healthy.  The sweet taste makes it very easy to drink and it is not heavy on the stomach.

Make note of it for your shopping list and keep your mind and body hydrated!

A tip: Buy coconut water that is “not from concentrate”, to avoid added sugar and additives.
