What is Coconut Water?

A clear, sweet liquid with a slightly nutty taste. Fresh coconut water has not been pasteurized; therefore, it contains enzymes that help detoxify and repair the body.

8 Benefits according to LifeHack

1. Aids in Weight loss - there is low fat content

2. Picture-Perfect skin - topical application of coconut water can go a great distance as it has the ability to clear up, moisturize, and subsequently tone the skin

3. A Hangover Remedy - allowing the coconut water to settle in the stomach results in essential electrolyte replacements that have exited the body if you experienced frequent urination/vomiting

4. Facilitates Digestion - it has high concentrations of fiber which aid in the prevention of indigestion and reduces the occurrence of acid reflux

5. Boosts Hydration - when the human body loses mineral-rich fluids from rigorous exercise, coconut water serves as an excellent replacement medium with 294 mg of potassium and 5 mg of natural sugar per glass


6. Reduces Blood Pressure - coconut water can be used as a balancing mechanism for electrolytes

7. Rich in Nutrients - coconut water contains 5 essential electrolytes - calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium and sodium

8. Compatible with Human Blood - coconut water can be used in extreme emergencies to quickly rehydrate the human body if administered intravenously



Why are electrolytes important?

They are essential for proper hydration

For example, the juices has been used for medical purposes (as an IV fluid when saline is unavailable)


However, What does coconut water lack?

sodium


How was the juice established?

It took 5 years for coconut water to establish itself as a multimillion dollar industry

According to business insider, A Merill Lynch analysis in 2009 showed that coconut water went from virtually zero sales in 2004 to $30 to $35 million annually in five years.

Coconut Water Vs. Sports Drinks



Fun Facts from the Agrana Group

1. The name “coconut” was given by Portuguese sailors in the 16th century because the three holes on the coconut looked like a human face. “Coco” means “laughing face,” or “grimace.” The English word “nut” was only added later on.

2. Coconut is NOT a nut, but a stone fruit

3. Coconuts can float for long distances across the ocean and then put down roots again when they are washed ashore

4. At full capacity, the coconut palm bears fruit for 15 to 60 years, but under ideal conditions fruit production can last for up to 80 years. The maximum age of the coconut palm is between 100 and 120 years

5. There are over 1,300 types of coconut

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
