AMAZING HEALTH BENEFITS OF COCONUT WATER

Lunch was good. But of course it was. After all it was a treat from my lovely friend Agnes. Yes, food tastes better when you have good company and especially if you do not have to pay for it thank you..haha.  She took me to this little corner shop in Lido, Penampang.  I’ve passed this place for maybe few thousand times but never had any inkling that the food was great.  Granted, the place is always packed, but so is everywhere.   We had seafood noodle soup, and it was good especially for the price.  Will definitely go there again and try their other foods which were listed gaily on their menu.  

Much later, we went to town for a little window shopping and decided to go for a drink. This time I insisted on paying. I was contemplating on having my favourite soda when we chanced upon young fresh coconut fruits and decided to have them instead knowing that it is a much healthier choice. One thing about coconut fruit is, you either get those with a sweet sharp taste or bland and tasteless ones. And there’s no way one can tell by just looking at the fruit.

Anyway, we were both lucky as the seller managed to get us two sweet ones with just about the right amount of soft white flesh.  Having said that, I wish to share here some info I read from an article on the health benefits of coconut water.
