HEALTH BENEFITS OF COCONUT WATER
Coconut water is an ultimate thirst quencher offering a tasty alternative to water.
This pure liquid is packed with nutrients that yield an array of health benefits. Here are (3) benefits of coconut water that explain why it is quickly becoming popular:
1) Aids in weight loss. The fat content in coconut water is extremely low, so generous quantities can be consumed without the fear of immediately packing on the pounds.
It also suppresses the appetite and makes you feel full because of its rich nature.
2) Beautiful skin. Whether ingesting orally or swabbing it on your skin topically with a cotton ball, coconut water has the ability to clear up and subsequently tone the skin.
3) Goodbye hangover. Next time you overdo it and end up with a bellyache in the morning, consume coconut water to settle your stomach.
It also replaces essential electrolytes that exit the body if you experience bouts of frequent urination and vomiting.
Is it ground ginger or fresh ginger?
Hi, Elaine!
Fresh ginger would be best. You’ll get a better taste with it. However, if you only have ground ginger, you can use that as well. Enjoy, Happy Blending XOXO!
Hi Ladies 😉 I was just wondering, if the coconut water can be replaced with something else? Unfortunately I am not a big fan of coconut water.
Hey Bob! Yes absolutely you can sub coconut water with filtered or spring water. Note that you won’t really taste the coconut water, it just adds slight sweetness, potassium and electrolytes. 🙂 HAPPY BLENDING!
