THE COCONUT

Athletes consume coconut water after a match, competition, or intense training session where they have sweated a lot and lost a significant amount of water. Composed of minerals, including potassium and magnesium, coconut water is highly refreshing and aids in quick muscular recovery while also helping to prevent cramps. With low sugar content (approximately 4g per 100ml), it converts glucose into glycogen.

Our gut microbiota is often weakened by meals that are high in fats and sugars, as well as excessive alcohol consumption, especially during the holiday season. Drinking a glass of coconut water, which contains bioactive enzymes, can help improve digestion and prevent bloating, acid reflux, or heartburn. However, it’s important not to overconsume it as it could have the opposite effect.

Just like Love Beauty and Planet, many cosmetic brands use this liquid – found in the young green coconut – to create hair care products aimed at moisturizing the hair. It is also included in the composition of products that fight against skin aging. Rich in antioxidants, coconut water applied to the face treats oily skin and eliminates excess sebum. It can also be used as a shampoo to achieve soft and shiny hair.

Coconut water with its draining properties fights water retention, which affects thousands of women, and helps prevent the appearance of cellulite. It is therefore recommended to regularly consume this beverage with multiple properties to eliminate fatty deposits that often accumulate around the abdomen and thighs. It is also advisable to include coconut water in a dietary regimen due to its relatively low calorie content (20 calories per 100 ml).

This natural remedy, composed of 95% water, helps reduce stress, bad cholesterol levels, and blood pressure. As a result, coconut water helps decrease the risk of cardiovascular diseases. A healthy diet often aids in the elimination of blood clots that can sometimes block arteries.
