Coconut water?

[makinao]

I don't know how good it is for rehydration, but coconut water is a great diuretic. One medical study (http://coconutoilorganic.com.au/usin...-coconut-water) in my country (Philippines) has shown that coconut water (just the water, excluding the meat) has a clensing effect on kidneys, and helps prevent and dissolve kidney stones. I take it occasionally when I'm OK, and often when I have an "active" stone. I buy it fresh from street vendors, straight from the coconut, for less than US$2 a liter. It ferments rather fast though. So I drink it immediately.

I'm jealous, fresh coconut is awesome. Had them as a kid back in the "old country".

Agreed! Love fresh coconut juice. Most people in the US may not be aware
that there are actually different types of coconuts. The sweeter kind is
usually the one that is imported to the US.

Instead of buying boxed/packaged coconut juice, I recommend buying
the imported whole coconuts in the US grocery stores and cutting it open
yourself. 99 Ranch market in the LA area has them sometimes.

I prefer fresh ones in southeast Asia though...

^ Whole Foods and other stores also carry coconuts.



I provided a lot more about coconut varieties and nutrients in this thread:
