Comment on Why is coconut so healthy? by Tschaka Roussel

No, you couldn’t take water intravenously and expect to live, it doesn’t replace blood. Why coconut water is safe perhaps has something to do with its rehydration properties, but not being a medic I couldn’t say for sure…

Coconut water is packed with electrolyte minerals, essential to muscles, particularly potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium and phosphorous. It has 20 times the potassium of a sports drink.

Potassium is one of the most important electrolytes there is. One of its important is to help maintain water balance – a good level of potassium helps you to maintain water pressure within a cell and water pressure within the blood. So, as it can help draw water into cells and into the blood, it enables the body to rehydrate quickly. A 330ml serving of pure coconut water contains more potassium than two bananas.

Both of them are “water.” I’m also not worried about gaining weight (coconut has calories in it) because I don’t gain weight no matter what I eat. So would it be ok if I trade coconut water in for regular water? Or what would it do to me? Plus coconut is very healthy. It wouldn’t be forever tho. Maybe just for the summer.

I am glad the rpecie worked out for you I am not sure if I mentioned it before, but I always premix a large batch of the seasonings and put them in a jar. When I make my chicken, all I need is the butter, olive oil, chicken stock and lime.

Comment on Is “vitamins kill” study a hoax? by Mick

I guess its possible that vitamins could kill due to toxicity issues but i think it’s really because of the misuse issue, people just don’t do enough research before they take them.

Hi Tschaka,

I was just wondering what’s the difference between regular supplements and vegan ones? is it something to do with the fillers?

Thanks and great post.
