Drink A CoconutWe have been seeing coconut water everywhere these days, and had to find out what the fuss was all about!  Turns out that coconut water is not only delicious, but also really healthy for you too.  Coconut water is the liquid that comes from young coconuts.  When a coconut matures this liquid is replaced by coconut meat and air.  The coconut water is sweet and refreshing and a great way to hydrate yourself in the summer.  In South America, coconut water is packaged and marketed as a sports drink because it is high in potassium and mineral content.  In fact, one cup of coconut water contains more electrolytes than sports drinks (like Gatorade) and more potassium than a banana.  Coconut water is also a great way to boost your immune system, it helps detoxify and fight viruses and best of all, it's all natural.
