I would like to share a bit of my story about coconut water. Recently, someone(she) I knew got admitted at the Government Hospital to undergo chemotherapy. I know most of us aware of the side-effect of chemotherapy.
Then, she goes to the private hospital to seek consultation about chemotherapy. Because she believes in an alternative way other than to undergo chemo.
She told the Doctor that she need 6 cycles of chemo every 3 weeks. She told the Doctor everything about how she's scared that she needs to eat medicine and so on. We do know that too much medicine can cause kidney failure.
Then, the Doctor suggests her to drink a lot of coconut water after she eats medicine.
Why? Like I mentioned above, coconut water contains a lot of minerals! This has the effect of removing toxins from the body and also preventing urinary tract infections. Which are also quite common in pregnant women.
So, guys, coconut water has a lot of health benefit. It's a bonus that coconut water tastes good too!
