Natural Sports Drink

Coconut juice is an isotonic solution that naturally re-hydrates the body by replacing lost fluids and minerals after exercise, according the Department of Physiology at the University of Malaysia. Fresh young coconut juice provides better total body re-hydration and blood volume restoration compared to carbohydrate-electrolyte sports drinks and plain water. Additionally, due to its physical makeup, coconut water naturally restores plasma glucose in the body, making it beneficial for reducing nausea and upset stomach after intense exercise.

Supports Digestive Health

Coconut juice contains lauric acid, which the body converts into monolaurin, according to HomeRemediesWeb.com. Monolaurin has antiviral and antibacterial properties that help fight against intestinal worms, parasites, viruses and gastrointestinal tract infections. As an antibiotic, it can help fight intestinal worms, constipation, diarrhea and other common digestive problems.

One of my favorite brands is Amy and Brian’s Coconut Juice. I get it with pulp because I like the taste and coconut pulp/meat has great nutritional benefits. Honestly, the rest taste like cardboard (what they’re packaged in) and I only drink them if there’s no other option (O.N.E. Coconut is the best of those and actually tastes delicious. They have lots of options for athletes and even for KIDS! It’s one of the best things you can give your family! I keep one in my gym bag and diaper bag at all times!).

My absolute top choice though is to buy a REAL coconut and chop it open myself! (you have to be very careful doing this, I’ve cut myself pretty badly before and I’ve even been “trained”)

I drank coconut water almost every day for the first 2 months of breastfeeding, and now that my body is getting used to  it I drink it when I’m feeling very dehydrated or tired. It’s a great natural energy boost too!!!
