I love coconut water! I have been drinking it since I was a child in the Caribbean, but I had no idea of all these health benefits. We always used to joke it was why we were such fast runners andhad such beautiful skin. Even living here now in the UK I drink it everyday it keeps my skin nice. My favourite is Vita Coco, it’s the only one that does not have stuff added to it.
