Coconut water, the 2022 new sensation-image- 1

Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or maybe a palm tree!) for the past year, you can’t have escaped the explosion of coconut water into the market place for healthy drinks.

Coconut water is made from the clear liquid of green coconuts. It should not be confused with coconut milk, which is made from the water and pulp of a ripe coconut. Coconut water is over 95% water.

Despite its recent explosion in popularity, coconut water has been consumed in tropical regions of the world for centuries. In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, coconut water is believed to aid digestion, urination and even sperm production. It is also traditionally used to treat dehydration and is given as a ceremonial gift in the tropics. It may not be a panacea, but it has many health benefits.

A wide variety of vitamins and minerals.

Relatively low in calories, coconut water contains a wide variety of vitamins and minerals essential for optimum human functioning, as well as glucose and electrolytes similar to the key ingredients of many leading sports drinks. Not only that but the water found inside the shells of the young coconuts is renowned for being incredibly refreshing. There have been studies that suggest it can help re-hydrate after exercise more effectively than plain water.

Potassium, magnesium, calcium and copper.

It also contains potassium, which has been shown to help lower blood pressure in people who suffer from hypertension, along with magnesium, a mineral that almost one third of people fail to consume sufficient amounts of. Magnesium helps move calcium and potassium into the muscles to help them contract and relax. It also helps to produce energy and support organ function. Heavy exercise can lead to magnesium depletion and a tendency to cramps, restless muscles and cramps.

With small amounts of calcium and copper too, this is a drink that packs a heavy-weight nutritional punch. It’s also been shown to have antioxidant properties, helping to destroy free-radicals in the body that can lead to a wide range of health problems if not kept in check.

Coconut water, a healthy alternative to sugar-packed carbonated drinks.

There’s no doubt that the trend in coconut water based products has been fueled by consumers’ desires to find a more healthy alternative to sugar-packed carbonated drinks, as well as to more traditional sports drinks. Coconut water is now a mainstay in supermarkets, gyms, yoga studios, coffee shops and just about anywhere people are looking for low calorie delicious refreshment on the go.

Amazing taste combinations.

What’s more, the basic product can be combined with a wide range of other flavours to create an almost infinite range of different amazing taste combinations, whether keeping it simple by combining it with lemon, to something a little more exotic such as pomegranate, to the more adventurous mix of strawberry, banana and cookie.
