5 good reasons for drinking coconut water

Nowadays, you find sport drinks everywhere in the worlds of recreation, competitive fitness and sport. In addition, they are also used a lot as thirst-quenchers in warm weather. Most sport drinks are manufactured and artificially flavoured, as well as containing carbohydrates and electrolytes. Recently, however, more and more attention is being given to coconut water as a natural alternative to these synthetic drinks.

Here are five good reasons for drinking coconut water:

1. Coconut water is isotonic, making it ideal for rehydration. Carbohydrate-rich drinks like traditional soft drinks and fruit juices have the disadvantage of being hypertonic, so that they enhance dehydration. They certainly don’t quench your thirst. On the contrary, they increase it!

2. Coconut water is packed with electrolytes. Our electrolyte levels can be knocked out of balance by dehydration or hyper-hydration resulting from physical activity, the use of medication, sickness or other environmental factors. For this reason, it is important to keep our natural fluid and electrolyte balance well topped up.

3. Coconut water contains amino-acids and numerous phytonutrients. It’s not only fruits and plants that need these things. We humans need them, too!

4. Coconut water is low in calories. Unlike ordinary water, coconut water is not completely calorie-free, but it only has 17 kcal per portion (5 g Biotona Coconut Water Raw in 200 ml of water = 200 ml natural coconut water), which means that it is unquestionably a very ‘low-calorie’ drink. As such, it makes a great replacement for the most popular types of sweetened soft drink.

5. Coconut water is first and foremost … water. Everyone knows how important it is to drink lots of water, so that your body remains healthy and sufficiently hydrated. As the name suggests, coconut waters consists of roughly 95% water.
