Coconut water not only relieves edema and helps with bowel movements, it also has three other benefits!

Coconut is definitely one of the most discussed healthy foods in recent years. In addition to coconut oil, which has become popular along with the ketogenic diet, coconut water has also been regarded by many international superstars as a good helper for weight loss and beauty, which has led to a coconut water craze! Look, a nutritionist has sorted out the 3 major benefits of coconut water for you, and you can easily DIY this simple recipe at home.

Coconut water has three benefits: reducing fever, reducing swelling, and aiding bowel movements

Benefit 1- Relieve heat and fever

Coconut water is 95% water, so it has very low calories, providing only 18 calories per 100 ml. The rich water can help regulate body temperature and cool the body. It is less burdensome than hand-shaken drinks with added refined sugar, making it a good choice for cooling off and quenching thirst in summer.

Benefit 2-Replenish electrolytes and reduce edema

Coconut contains minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. Whether it is hot, sweating a lot after exercise, or suffering from mild dehydration caused by diarrhea, you can drink some coconut water to replenish lost electrolytes. In addition, potassium ions are an important substance for maintaining the body's water balance, helping to excrete excess water from the body and improve edema.

Benefit 3- Helps with bowel movements

Coconut water can stimulate gastrointestinal motility and help defecation. If you want to get rid of the "big belly", you might as well drink some coconut water.

Since coconut water has so many benefits, you might as well put down your hand-shaken cup and drink coconut water instead to cool down and reduce edema. If you think it’s a bit boring to drink it alone, nutritionists recommend this passionate mango and coconut sparkling drink mixed with seasonal summer fruits. It’s thirst-quenching and delicious!

【Nutritionist’s Tips】

Coconut water has many benefits, but it still contains a lot of fructose and potassium. Patients with diabetes and kidney disease should not drink it excessively. In addition, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, coconut water is cold in nature. People with poor blood circulation or prone to menstrual cramps should not consume too much.
