Guest guest Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 COCONUT I don't think it is a good idea to use it as a water replacement... Ayurveda Coconut is sweet and cooling. It decreases Pitta and Vata but increase Kapha. It is specific for high Pitta. It is refrigerant, diuretic, demulcent and emollient. It nourishes the lungs and skin and is good for recovery periods from febrile. Chinese Warming thermal nature; sweet flavor; strengthening; quells wind; haemostatic; tonifies the heart. Used for weakness, emaciation, nosebleed, and childhood malnutrition. Coconut is good source of saturated fat for vegetarians; however, it can be dangerous when used by those with excess saturated fat and cholesterol in the diet (for example, a diet concentrated in heavy meats, eggs and dairy). Coconut milk is warming, sweet, clears the effects of summer heat, quenches thirst, increases semen, and builds the Yin fluids. It is often helpful in treating edema resulting from heart weakness and diabetes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I have found coconut water very beneficial. It especially helps in providing cooling effect to the body (mainly, in the pitta condition). I don't know the benefits in regards to BP, but doing a Google search yielded some useful results. http://www.google.com/search?q=coconut+water+and+blood+pressure & ie=utf-8 & oe=utf-\ 8 & aq=t & rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official & client=firefox-a If you have one coconut everyday (ideally, in the morning) that would be helpful. I don't really know if replacing regular water with coconut water for the whole day is good (but I believe that consuming anything too much may not be that beneficial. Moderation is the key.) In any case, I suggest using ONLY fresh coconuts, do not use those coconut-water cans available these days in the market (they are not fresh, many contain preservatives, and they don't taste that as good as fresh coconut water). Hope this helps. _____________ What are the advantage of the coconut water? is it fine if i take coconut water daily instead of water during the day....?
