Good thing: coconut water


Keep hydrated and drink water...you hear it all the time, but sometimes we just don't. After water, my go-to drink for the last couple years has been coconut water, which is especially beneficial after exercising or when I feel I need to replenish my electrolytes. I'm a little sceptical about all the hype and health claims that are circulating, but I do believe it's a nutritional and natural drink option worth the cost, which should be part of a healthy diet. Any brand will do for me, above is zico...but you can now buy coconut water at just about any market: Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Safeway, or any health store...usually priced between $1.50- $2.00/each.
