Why Coconut Water is Great For Hydration

Why Coconut Water Is Great for Hydration:

• High in Electrolytes

It contains potassium, sodium, magnesium, and calcium, which help replenish what you lose through sweat.

• Naturally Low in Sugar

Compared to sports drinks or fruit juices, it’s lower in sugar but still slightly sweet.

• More Hydrating Than Water (Sometimes)

Due to its electrolyte content, it can rehydrate you faster than plain water, especially after exercise.

• Low in Calories

A typical serving (about 8 oz) has around 45 calories, making it a light and refreshing choice.

• Alkalizing & Anti-inflammatory

Some research suggests it may help balance pH levels and reduce inflammation.

So while it’s not a “fruit” to eat, coconut water is definitely a top-tier summer hydration drink. Want to compare it to sports drinks or make a coconut-water-based smoothie?
