As it is getting warmer staying hydrated is more important than ever. One of my favourite recommendations to help you stay refreshed and energised is coconut water.
Here are six amazing benefits of coconut water:
Hydration: Coconut water is packed with natural electrolytes like potassium, sodium, and magnesium, which help replenish fluids and maintain electrolyte balance in your body.
Nutrient Rich: This natural beverage is a great source of essential vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin C, riboflavin, calcium, and manganese.
Supports Weight Loss: As it's lower in sugar and calories, coconut water is ideal for those looking to lose weight.

Boosts Energy Levels: Coconut water's combination of natural sugars and electrolytes provides a natural energy boost, perfect for post-exercise recovery or when you have mid-afternoon energy slump.
Heart Health: The potassium in coconut water helps regulate blood pressure levels.
Reduces Muscle Cramps: As it's high in potassium, coconut water helps prevent muscle cramps, making it a good choice if you are active.
I highly recommend including coconut water, especially during the summer and using it to make your smoothies.
However, if you have high potassium levels (hyperkalaemia), it's important to limit your intake of coconut water or avoid it altogether. Stay cool, hydrated, and healthy this summer with the refreshing goodness of coconut water!
