Young coconut water has various functions and benefits, mainly including:
1. Heat-clearing and thirst-quenching: With a slightly cool and refreshing taste, young coconut water is suitable for consumption during hot weather or summer. It effectively relieves internal heat and thirst, and can alleviate symptoms such as dry cough without phlegm and lung heat.
2. Replenishing energy: Young coconut water contains abundant electrolytes, including potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, as well as sugars and proteins, which help restore physical strength and relieve fatigue after intense exercise.
3. Diuretic and reducing edema: Minerals such as potassium and magnesium in young coconut water assist in correcting dehydration and electrolyte imbalances, providing diuretic effects and reducing swelling.
4. Skin care and beautification: Rich in vitamin C, young coconut water offers skin-nourishing benefits. It can help remove acne and dark spots, and maintain smooth and soft skin.
