My favorite thing to do right after I work out is crack open a fresh young coconut, and sip the delicious tropical water right from the shell. "It's a natural isotonic beverage, with the same level of electrolytic balance as we have in our blood. It's the fluid of life, so to speak." The molecules are almost identical to human’s blood plasma. In fact, during the Pacific War of 1941-45, both sides in the conflict regularly used coconut water to give emergency plasma trasfusions to wounded soldiers. Here are reasons why coconut is better than any drink. Coconut water is more nutritious than whole milk, because it has less fat and no cholesterol. Not to mention all the hormones you’re getting from milk, and the whole pasteurization process. Coconut water doesn’t have high acid contect therefore throws off your Ph balance, and has lower sugar therefore lower calorie content. It contains lauric acid, which is present in human mother's milk "Coconut water is the very stuff of Nature, biologically Pure, full of Natural Sugars, Salts, and Vitamins to ward off fatigue... and is the next wave of energy drinks but natural!", according to Mortin Satin, Chief of the United Nation's Food & Agriculture Organization.
