Living on Coconuts

Keith Cumberbatch tells us that coconut water is better that any sports drink. He should know being a veteran marathon runner and coconut vendor who climbs the tree, partly to make a living and mostly to stay fit and strong for the race.

From the above website: "Fresh coconut juice is one of the highest sources of electrolytes known to man, and can be used to prevent dehydration, for instance in cases of diarrhoea or strenuous exercise, instead of a sports drink. Some remote areas of the world even use coconut juice intravenously, short-term, to help hydrate critically ill patients and in emergency situations."

Its a natural isotonic beverage, with the same level of electrolytic balance as we have in our blood. During the Pacific War of 1941-45, both sides in the conflict regularly used coconut water - siphoned directly from the nut - to give emergency plasma transfusions to wounded soldiers. Most coconut water is still consumed fresh in tropical coastal areas - once exposed to air, the liquid rapidly loses most of its organoleptic and nutritional characteristics, and begins to ferment.
