1. Coconut water is rich source of electrolytes. Electrolytes are important for muscular, cardiovascular, nervous system, and immune system function.
2. Coconut water will boost your energy. Coconut water is full of potassium, calcium, and chloride which energize and replenish the body; and it contains much less sugar and sodium than commercial energy drinks.
3. Coconut water is antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant. These qualities make coconut water helpful with a number of health conditions, including stomach flu, dysentery, indigestion, constipation, intestinal worms, cholera, urinary abnormalities, malfunctioning kidneys, wrinkles, and age spots.
4. Coconut water aids weight loss. Coconut water has been shown to increase metabolism in the human body, thus assisting the loss of unwanted weight.
 5. Coconut water rehydrates. The plasma and electrolyte balance of coconut water has been found to be identical to that of human blood. This gives coconut water the ability to rehydrate and balance fluids within the human body.
