Coconut water: How good is this?
For more than 3,000 years, coconut water or popularly known locally as 'Dub' has been prized as a natural source of nutrition, wellness and hydration. It is low in calories, fat-free and low on the glycaemic index (a numerical scale used to indicate how fast and how high a particular food can raise our blood sugar level). It contains some specific acids, which help our body in fighting infections. It also contains Vitamin B and C, Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphate, Potassium, Sodium and other essential minerals. Some studies indicate that it can lower bad cholesterol and triglyceride levels in an animal model. Drinking coconut water at night causes acidity is a myth. In fact, coconut water can relieve heartburn. It helps restore the stomach's acid balance and makes it more alkaline. If you have kidney disease, you should talk to your doctor if you should take coconut water or not.
