Good evening everyone!

Coconut water is the natural juice contained within the coconut, the fruit of the coconut tree, it is rich in potassium, with few calories and many nutrients, free of fat and with high rehydrating power. It helps in the proper functioning of the intestine and in the food metabolism and is a diuretic drink.
Because it is a natural drink it can be consumed by people of all ages, including babies and has no contraindications, being great for curing a hangover and getting rid of kidney stones, that's right.
Excellent for hydration.
Coconut water replenishes mineral salts, having a slightly sweet flavor and is very tasty, as it has a pleasant flavor, you can use it to drink coconut water when you are thirsty to ensure hydration of the body, skin and hair.

It has the power to purify the body from the inside out, because it detoxifies the liver and intestine, which already improves the health of the skin, soothes the irritation caused by the acidity of the stomach contents, decreases the risk of heart disease in the future because potassium neutralizes the effect of sodium in the body, that is, it helps to control blood pressure, in addition to helping to regulate blood cholesterol levels.
Mitigates aging.
Coconut water contains anti-aging properties in its composition, which is due to antioxidant substances such as vitamin C, B complex and the amino acid arginine. As you already know, the main action of antioxidants is to reduce the harmful effects of free radicals produced in the cell, to which we are exposed daily, contributing to the delay of premature aging.
So naturally, the anti-aging effect has benefits for all our cells, but as the skin is practically the largest organ in the body, it is here that we see the greatest gains. Drinking coconut water improves skin hydration, reduces oiliness and fights skin aging.
