After Surgery Gift Idea-Coconut Water


Stay hydrated after surgery and as you recover with a refreshing Coconut Water beverage. Throughout history, coconut water has been used to prevent and treat dehydration — and it has been shown to be more effective than plain water for hydrating. Coconut water has the Potassium levels you would expect from a banana. It's nature’s hydrator, low calorie, naturally fat-free and naturally cholesterol-free beverage. Gift idea... add  a One Coconut Water to an after surgery gift basket!

Benefits:

Coconut water is the liquid that is taken from unripe coconuts. If coconuts get ripe the liquid that is inside will harden and become a part of the white flesh of the coconut, which is used to make coconut milk. Coconut water is the purest liquid second only to water itself. It is chock full of electrolytes, calcium, potassium, magnesium; everything that is good for you.  

If you consume coconut water on a regular basis it can reduce urinary problems. People who suffer from strangury, polyutra and other urinary ailments drink coconut water to relieve their symptoms.

Drinking coconut water with one teaspoon of olive oil for three days will clear the stomach of intestinal worms, which makes for better digestion.
People who have kidney problems and are plagued by kidney stones should drink coconut water in addition to taking their medication. Drinking coconut water regularly helps to break up kidney stones making them easier to push out.  Reasearch this and talk to your doctor about the benefits of drinking coconut water.
Coconut water is almost identical to blood plasma and this makes it easy to use for blood transfusion. In cases of emergency coconut water has been used as an intravenous hydration fluid instead of the standard IV fluid. During World War II many wounded soldiers were saved in the Pacific because of emergency transfusion using coconut water as plasma.
Coconut water contains monolaurin, an antiviral, antibacterial and antiprozoal monoglyceride that is used to kill lipid-coated viruses such as HIV, Herpes, cytomegalovirus, flu and various pathogenic bacteria.
Coconut water is great at reducing vomiting. People who have the flu,, fevers, medication induced nausea or other ailments drink coconut water to settle the stomach. As such, coconut water is also a good thing to drink during a hangover.
If you have a friend or loved one who has just had surgery, a college student who is recovering from the flu, a women, man or teen diagnosed with cancer consider sending them a Get Well Gift Basket that contains Coconut Water!
