Not a lot of time for a long post today but I just wanted to share something with you guys that has made a difference for me and my athletes this summer, and that is coconut water. I am not talking about coconut milk, but the actual water inside a coconut. It is great for rehydrating and replenishing electrolytes, not to mention that it tastes great and is an awesome thirst quencher.
By now most of us know about the benefits of coconut oil but until recently not too many people were discussing the benefits of coconut milk. I first learned about using coconut water from my buddy Brendan Brazier, triathlete and the author of the outstanding book which every athlete should read, The Thrive Diet.
Since incorporating it we all have been pleasantly surprised by the results and I highly recommend giving it a try during intense outdoor training sessions when you are sweating a lot.
I personally use Vita Coco, click HERE to check it out.
Drop me a line and let me know how it works out for you.
