Whenever I’m in Ghana, I take advantage of every chance I get to drink cool, natural, nutritious Coconut water. No wonder many call it the ultimate thirst quencher. Not only does it taste good, it is loaded with nutrients that provide many health benefits.

Coconut water has low fat content. It is also an appetite suppressor and I feel full after drinking it.
I find that it helps with digestion because of its high fiber content.
It is simply one of the best ways to hydrate the body. High in potassium and low in sugar. It also contains calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium and sodium which make it better than sports drinks.
Here’s a tip – I find that younger coconuts with greener exterior contain more water. The younger ones also have a softer white meat inside that melts in your mouth. You can also shake the coconut to gauge the amount of water it contains.

On your next trip to Ghana, or if you know anyone heading there, have them try the Ghana coconut water. It's very cheap and one of the best drinks on earth!
