Coconut Water vs. Gatorade

ByAshley Baal

Coconut water is filled with so many health benefits that conquer over Gatorade. 

Coconut water:

  • keeps the body cool and at the proper temperature
  • orally re-hydrates your body
  • carries oxygen and nutrients to your cells  
  • naturally replenishes your body after exercise 
  • raises your metabolism
  • boosts your immune system, detoxifies, and fights viruses
  • cleanses your digestive tract
  • boosts poor circulation

In contrast to coconut water, Gatorade:

  • is made up of sugar, flavorings, sodium, and electrolytes
  • drinking too much makes you gain weight and retain water

Drink coconut water, nature’s Gatorade! Various brands of coconut water include Vita Coco, Zico, and O.N.E. that are sold at stores such as Whole Foods and Trader Joes.
