Cuckoo for Coconut Water?

By , About.com Guide   January 1, 2012

Follow me on:

One of the most popular health trends in recent years, sipping coconut water is said to rev up your energy and keep you healthy from head to toe. Many fans of coconut water claim that the potassium-rich drink can also help soothe a hangover, thanks to its high content of electrolytes (a class of minerals essential to hydration).

But while coconut water may offer certain benefits, there's no evidence that it works as an energy-booster or a hangover cure. Still, some studies show that coconut water can help you rehydrate after a tough workout. What's more, preliminary findings from animal studies suggest that coconut water may help keep your cholesterol in check.

If you're curious about coconut water, look for a product that contains pure coconut water and no added sugar or artificial flavors...Read the article: Coconut Water - What You Need to Know
