Nobody can reinforce the importance of hydration enough when staying cool. But drinking regular water isn’t always the best way to get fluids into your system. “We lose a lot of electrolytes, potassium, and sodium when we’re sweating,” says Cristie Besu, a Certified Sports Nutritionist and CEO/Founder of Eat Me Guilt Free. “Ingest more water than you normally would in the summer, and coconut water is going to help you hydrate better…because of electrolytes the water will rush into your cells.” While there are dozens of brands of coconut water on the market, the pure coconut water from Once Upon a Coconut is not only delicious, but packed with potassium, calcium, and magnesium.
