Coconut Water

If you’d like to rehydrate faster – try this...

What’s more effective than Gatorade and sports drinks at rehydrating you? Coconut water. That sweet tasty clear liquid found inside the coconut is actually really good for you and a lot easier to find, now that’s it’s gotten so popular with athletes. One cup of coconut water has got more electrolytes than most sports drinks – and is loaded with magnesium and potassium.

If you’re worried that coconut water is fattening – it’s not. Coconut milk on the other hand, may be delicious, but it’s not exactly a diet food. It’s the liquid expressed from grated coconut – and can have over 500 calories and 50 grams of fat per serving.
