Great for rehydration: That’s a no-brainer, right! Coconut water is a great way to hydrate after a hectic workout and in fact, it can also be an alternative to sports drinks. A study, that was published in The Southeast Journal of Tropical Medicine And Public Health, concluded that coconut water improved volume tolerance in the volunteers, which means that people can drink more of it. Another study published in Journal of Physiological Antropology and Applied Human Science proved that coconut water has the ability to restore the minerals which were lost during sweating.

Prevents kidney stones: A study published in the Official Journal of the Brazilian Society of Urology, conducted research on rats with kidney stones and found that coconut water keeps the crystals from sticking to the kidneys and other parts of the urinary tract which are the reason for the stones.

Helps manage diabetes: Various researches have shown that coconut water can lower blood sugar levels and improve other health signs in diabetic animals. In one study, diabetic rats fed with coconut water maintained better blood sugar levels than other diabetic rats. The same study also found that the rats had lower levels of hemoglobin A1c, an indicator of long-term blood sugar control. Another study found that providing coconut water to rats with diabetes led to improvements in blood sugar levels and reductions in signs of oxidative stress, including malondialdehyde (MDA).
