Coconut water

When you sweat during your workout, you lose not only water but also electrolytes or even vitamins and minerals. You burn carbohydrates as well.

Drinking only water does not compensate fluid losses as fast as you would like it, isotonic drinks are a lot better for this purpose. It is just them that brings the balance back almost immediately.

Today I would like to recommend you long and thoroughly tested by me coconut water. This drink is obtained from green fruit of a palm tree, it is not watered coconut milk. Why is it becoming more and more popular? This is because coconut water is rich in magnesium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus as well as vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and C. The level of electrolytes is similar to those in human plasma. I must confirm that it provides much better hydration than other isotonic drinks that I used before. Some sources claim that the hydration is even ten times better than by those the most popular ones. Coconut water contains so many precious ingredients that it makes us believe it is a drink not only for sportspeople. It works as an antioxidant and helps to control blood pressure. It is sometimes used as a skin tonic in some regions – a natural cosmetic product.

Try it!
