Whole Foods has anything and everything when it comes to natural, organic products. However, there is one product in particular that should be in every household - It’s coconut water; the best way to hydrate and replenish your body with NO fat, NO cholesterol and it’s 100% natural.
Where does coconut water come from? It comes from a baby green coconut. The look, taste and nutrients in one of these young coconuts differ drastically from a mature brown coconut.
Coconut water is packed with Potassium which hydrates, replenishes electrolytes and prevents your muscles from cramping. It happens to be the best hangover cure, better and healthier than water and Advil!
For those of you who are vegan, lactose or just don't like dairy, but need to get your daily dose of Calcium, coconut water is an alternative. With 40mg of Calcium in each box, it won’t give you all the calcium you need in a day, but it’s a great start.
Coconut water is also said to help with urinary problems, kills intestinal parasites and break up kidney stones. I do not have personal experience with these three benefits, but it can’t hurt to give it a try.
A random fact to tell your friends: Coconut water has been used during times of war when blood transfusions were unavailable, because it is very similar to our blood plasma.

I have put coconut oil and coconut cream into my diet over the last 4 months and I have lost 10 kilos and feel great.
I use it on my skin and as a sunscreen. I am really excited about adding the young coconut water to my diet as it sounds very powerful in assisting my body in healing.I will be looking for it when I go shopping or maybe buy it online if not available.
There is so much written about coconuts and their healing properties and yet so few know about this great natural healer.
I drink coconut water every day after a long night. It rejuvenates me and I feel like a million bucks in a matter of hours just in time for another night on the town. I love that stuff and I swear by it.
Coconut water is fantastic. Zico is my favourite.
I drink O.N.E. Coconut Water while I work out...water just doesn't do it for me like coconut water seems to.
