Coconut Water Health Benefits - 5 Ways to Optimal Health

Coconut Water Health Benefits - 5 Ways to Optimal Health

To amp up your health improvement curve, add these five steps to your daily
life:

Hydrate- Your body is made up of more than 50% water. Keep every system
balanced by drinking plenty of water each day. How much? Varying opinions
suggest about one-half ounce for each pound you weigh. So if you are at 180
lbs., then drinking 80-90 ounces daily is the recommendation. Adding coconut
water into this count means that you are putting nutritionally superior "water"
into your body.
Get off the sugar. Important information is being revealed constantly about the
dangers of high sugar intake, including the high fructose corn syrup that seems
to be added to much of our processed foods. Soda and high sugared juice
drinks are a big factor in the childhood obesity epidemic. Coconut water is very
low in sugar and can be safely added to everyone's liquid daily intake
Exercise- Go outside and run around with your kids. Take a neighbor's dog for a
log, brisk walk. Park in the furthest parking spot and walk to your office. And
after working out, grab a coconut water drink to replenish and rehydrate with
the optimal "sports drink" that many athletes are choosing over the "ades".
Supplement your nutrition. Your body needs natural nutrition but sometimes
you will need to add in some vitamins and minerals. Natural water from young
green coconuts is an excellent source for potassium, magnesium, amino acids
and other important nutrients.
Energy boost- How many times do you reach for a cup of coffee or a candy bar
in the afternoon to give yourself a "boost" and get you through the rest of your
workday? Get off the caffeine and empty calories and drink a container of
coconut water. It replenishes and balances your body with just what it needs to
finish those final tasks and revive your spirits.

Coconut water adds so much to your health. Balance, nutrition, exercise, and
coconut water are the key ingredients in living a healthy life. Coconut water has
many benefits that have been around for years. What's taken you so long to try it?

Coconut water- is it a new fad drink
that celebrities carry around or a
centuries-old health aid? It's both,
and the wisdom of the ancients has
met up with the 21st century life in
using pure natural foods like water
from green coconuts for a healthy
lifestyle.

To step on the road to optimal
health, it takes just a decision- to put
healthier food and drinks into your
body instead of the over processed,
manufactured, chemically loaded
products that are pushed at you from
every angle.
