Coconut water can be considered a real trend that has depopulated - and is still depopulated - in the United States: the natural nectar obtained from the fruits of Cocos nucifera, a palm widespread throughout the tropical coastal area, is indeed a panacea for health, so much so as to elevate it to the level of a superfood. 100% natural drink, in tropical countries it is consumed directly from the youngest coconuts: just open the top until you reach the internal cavity, have a straw close at hand and enjoy it "at Km 0".

In Italy, in the absence of palm trees and walnuts, the best coconut water is available online or in organic supermarkets, and does not contain any kind of dyes or preservatives. Among its virtues, a very low content of sugars, fats and calories contrasts with a high presence of vitamin C and B vitamins, as well as calcium, potassium, iron and magnesium; cholesterol is completely absent.

Coconut water is therefore a very valid alternative to refresh and rehydrate or as a natural supplement, thanks to its numerous health benefits.

The intake of coconut water can improve the health conditions of convalescents who suffer from tiredness, fatigue and lack of appetite: in the amount of 40-50ml per day, it helps to improve energy levels by stimulating the production of hormones by thyroid and metabolism.

As a support to the immune system

Coconut water contains lauric acid, a substance with antibacterial, antifungal and antimicrobial properties. Drinking it regularly helps both to strengthen the immune system and to protect you from attacks by germs and bacteria.

As a sports supplement

Consumed during a physical activity that involves sweating, coconut water - containing minerals such as magnesium, potassium and calcium - is perfect for replenishing those lost during sports, as well as for preventing muscle cramps.

Our body uses numerous bioactive enzymes to assimilate food: the same bioactive enzymes are also contained in coconut water, which therefore becomes a useful natural remedy for those who suffer from digestive problems and abdominal pain caused by poor digestion.

Coconut water, taken continuously, can positively affect the metabolism: it has a very low calorie intake and a minimum fat content, equal to about 1%. Its remarkable diuretic effect therefore stimulates the metabolism, making it more active, and is also useful for counteracting abdominal swelling.
