hi from healthier life day,are two popular beverages that have caught my eye of late lemon water and coconut water today I'm comparing these two beverages to find out if one is better than the other round one,

| Lemon Water VS Coconut Water by healthier life day |
health uses so let's start with the first round with a low down on lemon water this so-called natural energy booster and detoxifying elixir is usually sipped to flush toxins from the body and to regenerate overall body health and function for instance you can add a squeeze of fresh lemon into your water to quench your early-morning thirst better than any other beverage,
according to the experts at Harvard Public School of Health lemon in warm water delivers a nourishing blend of minerals vitamins trace elements and hydration to parched tissues and cells while clearing toxins from organs like the kidneys and improving digestive system performance and overall function sounds amazing right now like lemon water coconut water works as an excellent fluid and electrolyte replacement,
however coconut water is more often used as an alternative to sports drinks as opposed to a morning wake-up for athletes seeking fluid and electrolyte replacement like potassium sodium in fact coconut water enhanced with sodium was credited as an excellent source of post-exercise re hydration by a study from medicine and science in sports and exercise,
however even though coconut water was able to decrease feelings of stomach upset and nausea following strenuous exercise for longer than say three hours in the heat research from Web MD suggests that coconut water doesn't contain adequate sodium or carbs for those who sweat profusely and recommend additional food energy for thorough electrolyte replenishment,

all right round number two nutritional value when it comes to your most natural source of hydration and electrolyte replenishment water with lemon delivers a one-two-three knockout punch and here's why lemons on their own contain an impressive stockpile of electrolytes like magnesium potassium and calcium which do all sorts of wonders for the body for instance science nods to lemons for lowering uric acid and prompting natural muscle and joint pain relief,
many people drink lemon in lukewarm water after meals to stimulate gastric juices and to promote digest and bowel efficiency the Mayo Clinic touts this natural cleanser with anti-inflammatory properties for instance a squeeze of lemon and water will help soothe a sore throat tonsillitis and respiratory tract infections while strengthening the immune system and guarding the body from free radical DNA damage,
when it comes to health benefits things can be a bit more controversial for coconut water despite marketers who double mother nature's sports drink and several celebrity endorsements this well hyped health beverage is actually really high in calories particularly if you drink more than one cup per day this sweet nutty clear liquid comes from the center of the young green coconut and it shouldn't be confused with coconut milk or coconut oil coconut water provides a rich source of easily digested carbohydrates delivered in the form of natural sugar and electrolytes once again potassium sodium but again more calories though.
alright round 3 let's use this last round to declare a winner by looking at the potential downsides of both beverage let's take a look even though coconut water has less sugar than typical sports drinks or bottle of soda fruit juice remember to read your labels carefully you should opt for plain coconut water and refrain from sipping coconut waters that contain added juices or sugars moderation is the key,
according to registered dietitians at Harvard School of Public Health who claimed an 11 ounce container of plain coconut water still contains upwards of 60 calories in 1.3 grams of sugar this means that coconut water is perfectly healthy for recreational athletes to consume but plain water with lemon or sports drink works just as well,
when it comes to lemon water there's one potential downside that can knock you right in the teeth literally according to dental professionals it's important to remember that the lemon you're squeezing contains a lot of acids which can actually wear away a tooth enamel and leave you open to bacteria cavities and tooth decay but there's a simple way to save your pearly whites just rinse your mouth out with plain tap water following your morning lemon water to banish loitering acid from your teeth,
so I'm not really gonna say who's the winner here who do you think comes out on top in this match thanks for watching
