Greetings!
I Hope everyone is doing well and transitioning into their respective roles with school, work, travel, etc., now that summer is technically over. Things are busy for me personally and professionally, as my wife and I are expecting our second little girl, within the next month. I'm back in school, again, this time for a Master's in Nutrition and getting clobbered in Biochemistry. Body Systems has some exciting and extremely positive changes and additions to be announced very soon. Needless to say, my plate is overfull but I'm doing my best to practice what I preach!
With temperatures still over 100 degrees here in AZ, it seems like summer is still here. With the heat comes increased popularity in all sorts of new sports beverages, the most popular of which seems to be coconut water. Since I have been asked several times for my opinion, I thought it appropriate to share with you, as it seems this "healthier for you" sports drink may be worth the hype.
I hope you enjoy as I think this is the most important information I've had the privilege of sharing. As always, thank you for reading and passing on to those who you think can benefit.
In Health and Happiness,

Coconut Water: Healthy or Hype?
What do an athlete, secretary, pilot, nurse, diabetic, infant, construction worker, and the President of the United States all have in common?
Stumped?
They all need more minerals in their food and water. In fact, every single person in the US is most likely mineral deficient. Did you know that in order to meet the RDA (recommended daily allowance) for vitamins and minerals, you'd have to eat close to 5000 calories of food every day! The fact of the matter is we just don't have the nutrient dense soil of our ancestors and need to fortify those minerals any way we can.
One of the best ways to get your daily dose of minerals and trace minerals is from the liquid inside young green coconuts aka Coconut Water.
Yes, coconut water is the hottest trend in health drinks, and did you know that the healing properties of coconut water go way beyond just sports fuel? Doctors have actually used coconut water in IV's for it's plasma-like similarities and hydrating properties. Because coconut water is rich in electrolytes, it has gained international acclaim as a natural sports drink for oral rehydration.
Keep reading about the health benefits of coconut water.
