Healthy Eating - health, sports drink

Click here for more information I was deployed to Iraq last year with the US Marine Corps. My wife sent me some of these which I put into the mini fridge that my hut had. After a 12 hour combat resupply mission, coming back to the hut and having one of these made me feel almost human again. I actually started saving them for the hottest/longest days. The taste is a little different, if you are used to gatorade or coke, but it is nice. Drink it cold.

To me, this is good but nowhere near as good as the pineapple flavor. I think the mango just does not compliment the peach, BUT, it's still good and appears to be healthy and has a reasonable amount of calories. It was between a 3 and 4 for me so I rounded up to 4.



It's light and refreshing, like water with mango, peach, and coconut flavor added. It doesn't taste phony either. It is 100% natural and it tastes natural. Too good to be just flavored water. It tastes more like a light fruit juice. I had mine chilled. It is imported from Brazil. A plastic twist-off cap allows you to stick in a straw easily, without hammering the package to punch it through. A single package is about 6 inches high, with 3 inch diagonal square shape.



One paper coated package contains 17 fluid ounces, marked as 2 servings. Per serving stats are 60 calories (so 120 calories total per package), 0 fat, 0 cholesterol, 30mg sodium, 500 mg potassium, 15g sugar, 4 % calcium, 4 % phosphorus, 175 % vitamin C, 8 % magnesium. Ingredients, as listed in order on package are: natural coconut water, mango puree, peach puree, ascorbic acid (vitamin C). The package states it is 100 % natural, has more electrolytes than leading sports drinks with 15 times the potassium, and has more potassium than 2 bananas.



So--- it is good, refreshing, healthy, easily packable, and easily openable. (It's ok. I can make up words. I work for the government.) I really like the high potassium content, too. (Note--I am NOT a doctor.) As the sweltering East Coast heat and humidity approaches, potassium helps with the fluid you lose. Whether you are on fluid pills, or working outside in the eat, or running and jogging for your health, or hiking, or your children are playing and running in the heat, it's a real good idea to keep those potassium levels up. Low potassium levels, as I understand it, can be harmful, leading to cramps in your legs or worse--maybe even making you pass out. Anyway, this is good and it sure tastes a lot better to me than Gatoraid (yuk). So, check it out, and read up on "potassium" before the heat gets here.

I've tired almost all of the vita cocos besides the tangerine and grape fruit and I can say this is the really not that bad. The peach flavor kinda balances it out with the coconut water. The nutrition is equal to the pineapple but not the acai(acai is still better). here is the nutrition for the peach

Over all this is one of my favorite flavors. Still got two other flavors to try.

I've tried other coconut waters and Vita Coco is the best. There flavors taste fantastic and it is a healthier alternative to sugary sports drinks. I was working 12 hour days in a hot building all summer and no issues with cramping when I drank one of these a day. The peach and mango is my favorite.

Mango has a specific scent and flavor - if you like it, this is a nice way to drink coconut juice. A big advantage of coconut water - being alkaline - is wiped out by the fruit acids - giving this mix overall an acidic ph. You still get the minerals from the coconut water.

My friend purchased a 12-pack of the Tangerine-flavored Vitacoco and it was excellent. Really light flavor, refreshing, perfect bit of citrus. I decided to try a different flavor, so I bought a 12-pack of the Peach & Mango. Let me say this - it is honestly one of the foulest things I've ever tasted. I was able to drink half of one container before pouring the rest out in disgust. Reminds me of when I was a teenager and I was forcing down my first mixed alcoholic drink, and the taste was nearly unbearable. I had my friend try a container, and his was awful, too.



I don't know if I got a bad batch or if this is how Peach & Mango is supposed to taste but I am thoroughly dissatisfied. My friend ordered a variety pack, so we're gonna compare the Peach & Mango from his pack to get to the bottom of this. I know this much... I will never buy the flavor again. I'm going back to Tangerine. I won't even experiment with the other flavors, either, after this experience.

I have tried many flavors of Vita Coco coconut water and this is my least favorite. It truly reminded me of baby food flavors. I did give it three stars because it is healthy and it does rehydrate. Otherwise I will not be buying this again. I will stick to plain or tangerine flavored. - Health - Sports Drink - Tasty - Health Food - Juice - Coconut

Dehydration - coconut, dehydration

Click here for more information The water of a tender (green) coconut is a natural electrolyte, rich in potassium and other minerals needed. It is thus a natural sports drink. I knew that much before I accepted this book for review and was curious how a book could be written about that!



I was in for a pleasant surprise when I received this beautifully printed book with a colorful cover and found it well edited, printed well with a good collection of photos to drive the points home.



In 10 chapters, a few appendixes and 223 pages, the author succeeds in educating us about all the health benefits of coconut water. Did you know that Coconut water cured the cataract of eyes of a person? Well, I did not know that! Did you know that coconut water is a good way of detoxing without many problems associated with plain water fast and fruit juice fasts?



There are many more uses of tender coconut water and many of the same benefits are obtained from packaged coconut water too. Coconut milk is not to be confused with coconut water.



All in all, this is a highly readable book on the several health benefits of coconut water. I am lucky to be in a country where tender coconuts are sold roadside and also bottled coconut water is available in departmental stores just in case, I need to travel to places where fresh coconuts may not be available.



I am glad to recommend this book for all interested in health of themselves and or their family members, friends etc.

Very informative book... Has a lot of good information that will keep you wanting to read to book till u finish...



youd be surprised to all the benefits coconut water has to offer... Def. a real eye opener!!!!



I def. recommend you getting this book along with some coconut water... Amazon currently has a sale on Vito Coco coconut water until this end of this month!!!

I bought the "Coconut Water" after 3 month ago having receaved and rwad the "The Coconut Oil Miracle", and after that bought "Virgin Coconut Oil", all written by Dr. Bruce Fife.



It all startet about 3 years ago bying especially many healthy books, that is about eating the right things and doing the best exercice. It came when I discovered that there was something wrong with one of the bones, happely before it broke, and hade made an operation. And then after being to cholesterol measures for me and my wife in february last year, 2009, and for her getting a bad result, more books bying. And about the cholesterol it showed up, in the new bought books, that what I had learned i the 1960's when I was a teenager, and allso read in books bought i Denmark in the 90's was wrong.



But first in this year, 2010, after bying and reading nearly 100 books concerning (most) eathing and exercise, I came to the books about cocos. And then allso about this, cocos, found that it was much misinformations we had got in nearly all of the years since the second world war. Because we had been told about sorting fats in only good and bad and thereby cocos came to be bad. And then it has shown up that this was totally wrong, and instead all concerning cocos is the best we can get.



After readng the 3 mentioned book by Bruce Fife, and our knowings now a day, I think that it is a shame that in most of books concerning healthy eating the cocos is not even mentioned, even though it showed up to be the most healthy. But without doubt it wil change in the future, that is that all concerning cocos will get into the books about healthy eating.



All of the books written by Dr. Bruce Fife are written in good ways and have many good informations, bouth scientifically and about cases. And I'm going to by more of his books.



I come from Denmark but now live in Thailand and here we have cocos everywere. But after the cholesterol measure last year my wife by doctors was told not to eath cocos or drik cocos oil. But reading more than 10 books about cholesterol and the books by Bruce Fife I have told my wife that the doctors are wrong so now we nearly each day get something from cocos. I have allso tried to prowe it for the doctors,but they will not chance.



With regards Gert Bo Thorgersen

Firstly, I would like to explain that coconut water is the liquid found in the coconut, as opposed to coconut milk, which is a manufactured product produced by crushing coconut meat and extracting the juice.



Now, with regard to the book, I must admit that I found most of it extremely boring and thus not easily read, due mostly to its scientific content. Though the basic content of the book is absolutely important.



It turns out that coconut water is a superfood that saves lives. It can be used intravenously, its composition being "remarkably similar" to that of human blood plasma, thus making it more effective than standard IV saline solutions for rehydration.



Dehydration is a serious problem, for example, during cholera epidemics. Oral rehydration with coconut water has proved to be extremely effective, though there is much resistance to its use from the medical profession. Coconut water is superior to all other beverages for rehydration. Water is not enough, since the decisive factor is the electrolyte content of the fluid used, and coconut water contains the necessary electolytes, most importantly, it has a high potassium content



Coconut water is effective against Crohn's disease, strokes, kidney stones, urinary tract infections, edema, cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, etc, etc.



I myself have Crohn's disease, but since beginning to consume coconut products, including coconut water, coconut milk, etc, I have had no episodes of any kind connected with this disease,



The book includes instructions on how to make coconut water kefir, how to open young coconuts (which, unfortunately, I have never encountered and can't get hold of), how to make coconut milk from fresh and dried coconut, how to do a coconut water fast and also includes a number of excellent coconut water recipes. The latter part of the book proved much more readable than the first.



Since reading this book together with another of Fife's books, on coconut oil, I now drink coconut milk and coconut water, use coconut oil exclusively when cooking, and eat the meat of at least two or three coconuts a week.



I would absolutely recommend this book for those in bad health or looking to retain their good health, since the information given as to the extreme nutritional value of coconut water is of absolute importance in my view. But you may need a certain portion of persistence in getting through the first part of the book, unless you are extremely motivated. - Coconut - Dehydration - Electrolyte - Green - Health Food - Tender
