Do you have high blood pressure? Well, if you are like me you hate medications. In the February issue of Vegetarian Times there was a small article on the benefits of coconut water. Yep, coconuts! Im sure when you think of them you think of their milk but the water is very different. Made from young green coconuts, it has a nutty flavor, fat free and is a one of the best natural sources of electrolyte potassium which lowers blood pressure. What is interesting about coconut water is because its electrolyte balance is similar to human blood, it has been used as IV fluid when other solutions weren't available. Now thats awesome!
You can drink coconut water as is, put it in other drinks or even cook with it. Try cooking some pasta with it instead of plain water and you will reap the benefits. Most stores carry the item in Tetra Paks but make sure it says 100% pure coconut water. Remember, there is always a natural remedy for things. Don't rush into pills and medications before looking into other options. Be smart, be healthy and use what the earth has given us!
