A Natural Sports Drink

A coconut is the largest seed in the world. Once a
coconut falls from a palm tree, it takes about three
years for it to germinate and sprout into a new tree.
Besides the coconut's oil, the water inside the coconut
appears to be a healthy alternative to sports drinks.
In a recent study where athletes drank coconut water
after dehydrating workouts, it proved to be an equally
effective source of electrolytes like sodium and
potassium compared to sports drinks.
