Real Reasons Why Pure Coconut Water Is Ideal For Weight Watchers

By Eliza Mendoza


The numerous benefits of pure coconut water are posted everywhere online. Although it's something that has been taken by those who live in tropical countries for already a long time, it's just recently that it became popular elsewhere on the planet. Many celebrities swear by it, and a lot of so-called fitness experts recommend it to those who wish to get in shape.

Some of the things said about this beverage are certainly true. However, others are just mere hypes. This is something to expect these days especially because there are so many brands and selections on the market taking advantage of the very good reputation of this liquid. In terms of the alleged weight loss benefits, a lot of people are definitely misinformed.

Certainly, drinking it alone won't make the physique magically go from plump to slim. The product cannot be taken all the time by someone who wants to shed off unwanted pounds and see dramatic results after his or her supply of the beverage has run out. Its intake can help facilitate weight loss through a number of ways, but cannot cause that to happen directly.

An 8 oz glass of this liquid contains less than 50 calories. Compared to other fruit juices, coconut water definitely has fewer calories that weight watchers are trying to count and dodge. By choosing to take this refreshing beverage instead of any other freshly squeezed options out there, an individual may find it easier to stay within the allowed daily caloric intake.

The beverage is known to be packed with electrolytes, minerals that carry electrical charge necessary for various processes taking place in the body. A serving of this liquid is said to contain more potassium than a piece of banana, something known to have plenty of it. There is also sodium, magnesium and calcium, as well as minimal amounts of phosphorous and zinc.

With that much electrolyte present, hydrating the body becomes more effective. Dehydration is not good for anyone. As for those who like to slim down, it's something that they should steer clear of. When the body is low in fluids, the metabolic rate tends to decelerate. This causes the burning of calories to become sluggish, making it harder to ditch excess pounds.

It's highly recommended for those who exercise at the gym or their homes to drink this beverage instead of sports drink popular these days. While it's true that these products are good at replacing fluids lost through sweating, electrolytes are not the only things that they contain. Most sports drinks are packed with sugars that weight watchers should avoid.

Pure coconut water has few calories and definitely minimal fat. A lot of today's grocery stores sell young coconuts containing the liquid, enabling consumers to take the beverage as it appears in nature. Although it's possible for those who like to get in shape to go for the bottled or boxed selections, caution must be taken when shopping. It's important to read the label to ensure that there are no added sugars and other chemicals, such as in the case of flavored ones.
