Sipping on coconut water is the latest endeavor in my quest to lead a healthier lifestyle. I don’t like drinking green tea during the summer, so coconut water is a great substitute. It keeps you cool and hydrated, and it’s packed with some great health and beauty benefits! Have you included coconut water in your diet plan yet?
If you haven’t, you sure will after reading this. I did a little bit of googling and here’s what I found:
- It naturally replenishes your body’s fluids after a workout, making it a great natural sports drink
- It’s low in fat, carbs and sugar and rich in fiber, calcium, magnesium and potassium.
- It speeds up your metabolism and promotes weight loss
- It helps with digestion and detoxification of the body
- It builds up your immune system
And now the beauty perks:
- Its antioxidant properties help reduce wrinkles and gives strength and elasticity to the skin.
- Applying coconut water on the face is known to decrease excessive oil (must try this!), so it’s great for people with oily/acne prone skin. It’s even known to clear up blackheads!
- Adding a few drops of coconut water to your shampoo and conditioner is known to be a good remedy for oily hair.
- Coconut water is also known to control hair loss and damage and speed up hair growth.
I love the smell and taste of coconuts but the taste of coconut water is a bit bland for me. Zico and O.N.E., however, have 100% natural coconut water with some great natural flavors like passion fruit, orange and mango, for people who don’t like the taste. Sounds so yum doesn’t it?
Ok, it’s time to go sip some now!
Stay healthy,

Being a chef i shud knw all this bt i dint..The only thing i knew abt coconut water is it is sweet in taste n can add some flavr to ur food.. thats it… bt didn’t know that its a pack of vitamins,carbs and acts as antioxidants which is really gud for us…I’m getting addicted to Splurgerina…looking forward to some more interesting topics ( specially food ) from uuu…
I luv coconut water,but didn’t know it was also good for people with oily skin. Good work.i read your blog every day and find something new every time!
Thanks Neetu & Ruchika..I didn’t know this until now either..It’s a must have for hot summer days!
hi all!
its been a week taht ive been drinking coconut water direct from the fruit. I have seen REMARKABLE improvement in my skin..I had oily skin tone. It used to get greasy within an hour of application of any damn cream I use…NOW, The greasyness had DECREASED by 100% n im not kidding…in d evening I rub my T-zone, no sign of oilyness! I feel fresh n energetic after I started drinking coconut water.
Though very late, Im nevertheless glad that I came across a cure for my oily skin tone. People with oily skin, drink coconut water, best direct from fruit.PURE. Its a boon to us. Stop rubbin anti-oily creams on ur face.
Good Luck!
Thanks for your detailed comment Oyj and sharing a first-hand experience with drinking coconut water! I have oily skin and I usually just drink coconut water during the summer but your comment has encouraged me to drink it more often! Thanks again
