Goodness Of Coconut Water

kanaka Raghavan · May 1, 2008

I came across a TV programme on the goodness of coconut water.It seems coconut water can be even given to small children and it is all illogical to say that they will catch a cold when they take it.It seems it can replace any fruit juice.It prevents deyhradation.I t contains potassium more than banana.It has other minerals like managanese,zinc,which is good for the body.It contains a substance which increases white blood corpuscles in the body.It seems in the olden days,during the English wars coconut water was administered through drips which helped in blood loss.I t is good for functioning of kidneys .I t is safe for small children during these summer months.
