8 Ways Coconut Water is Good for You

If there's one fruit that can bear water better than all the rest, it's the coconut. Not only could this fruit save your life when stranded on an island (though, you'll likely never come to that), it could wonderfully sustain your body with some essential nutrients as well. The liquid found beneath its thick shell is pure, potable water we can easily get our hands on from most supermarkets today. It's tastier than regular water, and it comes with these amazing health benefits too:

1. Supports weight-Loss Despite being tasty, coconut water is extremely low in fat, meaning that you can consume as much of it as you want, guilt-free. It will also make you feel fuller than the water you normally drink, because of its rich mineral content. 2. Improves your skin's health Coconut water is one of the best things you could ever give to your skin, especially if you have acne or other blemishes. In fact, we come across various skin care products that contain extracts of coconut, and now we see why. To clear up and tone your skin, simply apply some coconut water. It can even show improvements in the skin if ingested orally, as it moisturizes it from within and eliminates excessive oils.

3. Helps in hangover recovery If you've been out all night and have overdone it with alcohol, you'll find it relieving to know that you have a stock of coconut water handy in your home the next morning. It's the ultimate hangover remedy that will help settle your stomach and replace the essential electrolytes you lost in urination or vomiting. 4. Aids digestion Coconut water is also helpful when it comes to the digestion process. If you occasionally feel that you're having difficulty digesting certain foods, you're likely to feel better by drinking this water. It prevents indigestion while also reducing the occurrence of acid reflux, due to its high concentration of fiber. 5. Promotes hydration Not even sports and energy drinks are quite as good as coconut water in this regard. Compared to these popular drinks, coconut water contains double the amount of potassium (294 mg) and five times less the amount of sugar (5 mg natural sugar), per glass. Sodium count is only 25 mg, which is lower compared to the 41 mg found in sports drinks.   6. Controls blood pressure Electrolytes in food may trigger high blood pressure if found in disproportionate amounts. Coconut water contains a balanced amount of these, making it a perfect natural controller of the body's blood pressure. A good way to reap this great benefit is to drink from this water every morning.

7. A rich source of nutrients The most nutrient-rich water has got to be coconut water. The aforementioned electrolytes present in this water include calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and sodium - all of which are essential to the human body. It is also suitable for people with varying medical conditions.   8. Compatible with human blood Its incomparable taste and superb health benefits aren't the only reasons why coconut water is so widely sought after. This amazing natural beverage can be used in emergencies, as a fast way of re-hydration. It is also commonly used in poorer, third-world countries as an exceptional life-saver. What's the recommended healthy dosage? According to experts from the Mayo Clinic, it is recommended that consuming large amounts of coconut water should be accompanied by an active lifestyle, since each eight-ounce serving contains 45 to 60 calories. While it's good to take this advice, there's no strict rule about its consumption. Coconut water can be enjoyed as a stand-alone beverage or even combined with other liquid products. If you're extracting it from fresh coconuts, be sure to go for the ones that are young and green, rather than the mature ones with a hard brown shell. The more mature a coconut is, the less the supply of coconut water substance it will have. To test this, you can simply shake the fruit to find out how much liquid it contains.

[www.keralites.net] THROW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN TODAY

 

THROW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN AWAY

Why cooking with a microwave destroys cancer-fighting nutrients in food and
 

promotes nutritional deficiencies

Microwaves absolutely decimate the nutritional value of your food,
destroying the very vitamins and phytonutrients that prevent disease and
support good health. Previous studies have shown that as much as 98% of the
cancer-fighting nutrients in broccoli, for example, are destroyed by
microwaving.

To understand why, you have to understand the nature of vitamins and
phytonutrients (plant-based nutrients). These are very delicate molecules
which are fragile. They are easily destroyed by heat, which is why raw plant
foods contain more plant nutrients than cooked foods. Carotenoids,
antioxidants and other molecules like DIM (in broccoli) or anthocyanins (in
purple corn) are all easily destroyed by microwave energy.

Microwaves "nuke" your food at a cellular level

Microwaving is the worst way to cook foods because microwaves excite the
water molecules inside whatever you're cooking, causing heat to be formed
from the inside out. This results in a cell-by-cell "nuking" of the food
(such as broccoli, carrots, etc.), causing the near-total molecular
decomposition of the vitamins and phytonutrients that promote disease.

Microwaved food is not merely "dead" food at every level, it is food that
has been molecularly deconstructed, leaving nothing but empty calories,
fiber and minerals. Virtually the entire vitamin and phytonutrient content
has been destroyed.

Anybody who says microwaving food is a healthy way to cook is wildly
ignorant of nutrition and cooking methods. While steaming vegetables is,
indeed, a good method for some veggies to help make certain nutrients more
bioavailable, microwaving destroys veggies from the inside out at a cellular
level.

Don't be fooled by appearances

What's really deceptive about microwave cooking is that the food still
appears to be basically the same, but at the cellular level, it's like a
nuclear war has taken place. The actual molecular structure has been
decimated. If you could see microwaved foods with a powerful microscope,
you'd never eat them again because you would recognize just what a
nutritional wasteland they really are.

If you want to eat in a healthy way, make sure a significant part of your
diet is raw plants. It's okay to eat some steamed, stir-fried or even
grilled veggies, but when grilling foods, avoid burning them because all
burned parts contain toxic, cancer-causing chemicals that promote colon
cancer.

Personally, I am absolutely astonished that more people don't already know
all this. I'm even having to talk with my own staff about these issues, as
they don't seem to know the full story on microwave cooking. Spread the
word: Microwaves promote death because they turn nutritious, healthy food

into empty, decimated calories. I gave up using a microwave well over a
decade ago, and I don't even own one.

Remember, a person who cooks a lot of their food with microwaves will
inevitably have chronic nutritional deficiencies that promote cancer,
diabetes, bone diseases, loss of brain function, heart disease and many
other health problems. The least healthy people of any society are typically
the ones who frequently use the microwave oven to "nuke" their foods.

[www.keralites.net] COMMUNAL HARMONY [2 Attachments]

 

This is an amazing picture: Abdul Raheem, an Afghan soldier who lost both his hands in war, received a pair of hands from Joseph of Kerala who had suffered brain death.  Joseph's wife and daughter are looking at the hands that once caressed them.   The transplant surgery was performed by Dr Subramanian Iyer (blue shirt) of the Amrita Hospital, Kerala.   A Hindu doctor - a Christian organ-donor - a Muslim recipient - that's humanity!
