Health Benefits of Coconut Water: 1 Solution to 7 Problems

Coconut water is known as a tasty beverage popular mainly in tropical islands. However, far not all of us are aware of health benefits of coconut water. Generally speaking, it contains a whole amount of supplements that are needed in order to sustain life:

• potassium – it helps to lower arterial blood pressure
• glucose – it acts as sugar needed for body energy
• vitamin C – it shields the body from ailments like scurvy
• vitamin B – it helps to replace worn out tissues and cells

Problem #1: Proper Body Hydration

Coconut water is widely known for being able to replace the minerals and fluids the human body loses during physical activities. In case a person works out on a regular basis, he/she is to drink this beverage regularly. Even FAO admitted that coconut water was one of the ‘biggest’ sports drinks.

Problem #2: Aging

Cytokinins and lauric acid are two elements that are irreplaceable in the process of cell growth regulation and their division. Containing these two elements, coconut water minimizes skin aging, balances PH levels and keeps the connective tissues hydrated and strong.

So if you want to get rid of deep wrinkles or stretch marks, apply some coconut water to the areas that have been affected. Do you have acne or eczema? Apply this water before going to bed, and soon you’ll manage to get rid of all skin problems and defects.

Problem #3: Heart Diseases

As coconut water is rich in magnesium and potassium, it can assist those people, who fail in reducing high blood pressure. Affecting the pressure, it prevents the risk of heart attacks. By the way, coconut oil normalizes the blood flow, thus preventing the formation of plaque. Normal blood circulation can prevent strokes. Drinking coconut water regularly you contribute to health and normal work of your heart.

Problem #4: Managing Stress

Did you know that drinking coconut oil can lower stress due to the amounts of vitamin B (B6, riboflavin, thiamine, pantothenic acid) it contains. According to the latest researches, B-vitamins assist in lowering depression, stress and anxiety.

Problem #5: Metabolism Rate Increase

Are you aiming at losing weight by fastening metabolic rate? Then you should drink coconut water. With the increase of metabolism the body starts digesting and burning sugar a lot faster. As a result, the level of insulin in one’s blood burns faster as well. Thus, a person has more energy and loses fat faster. Besides, many specialists suggest including coconut water into their diets to prevent the occurrence of severe symptoms and complications.

Problem #6: Kidney Stones

Surprisingly, but coconut water is helpful in dissolving kidney stones. This is possible because of potassium, which plays the key role in urine alkalizing and prevention of kidney stones formation.

Problem #7: Pregnancy Issues

Everyone knows that pregnancy is one of the most important periods in one’s life. However, it is getting harder and harder to enjoy this time without any complications and difficulties. Vomiting sensations, urinary tract infections, constipation and fatigue are among the commonest issues every woman has to deal with.

During pregnancy many doctors recommend drinking coconut water mixed with saffron, turmeric or sugar. Some suggest consuming the white flesh of the nut, which is healthy for the fetus. If a pregnant woman drinks coconut water daily, she can get rid of the occurrence of common problems and prevent their further reoccurrence. The rich in fiber content of coconut water prevents constipation, while minerals prevent vomiting and provide a lot more energy, thus keeping the pregnant woman energetic and healthy.

As you see, health benefits of coconut water are multiple. Drink it and feel the difference.

Here is where I got some of the info. Please try some to day I is so hard to stay  hydrated in the winter..

lychee

Lychee is a sweet and tasty strawberry-red fruit that is a symbol of love and romance in China. As the University of Purdue horticulture website explains, lychee grow in clusters on trees and usually have a round or oval shape. Lychee fruit is roughly one 1 inch long and 1 inch wide. To get at the fruit, you peel off a leather-like skin. The fruit surrounds a rather large seed in the middle. A few days after the fruit ripens, it turns dark and dehydrates, resembling a raisin.

Seeds

The firmness of the shell of the dried fruit has led some people to label lychee fruit as "litchi nuts." However, as the Purdue website emphasizes, "it is definitely not a nut and the seed is inedible." Although the seed may be inedible, powdered seeds or tea made from lychee seeds are used for medicinal purposes, although actual health benefits seem to be more anecdotal than clinical.

Health Benefits

The seeds of lychee fruit are purported to have pain-relieving properties. It is traditionally drunk as a tea made from powdered seeds. People in Northern India have long used powdered lychee seeds for digestive disorders. It is also used to kill intestinal worms. However, few, if any, research studies confirm the effectiveness of lychee fruit seeds for medicinal purposes.

Side Effects

While powdered lychee seeds may have some health benefits, eating the seed itself is a bad idea. As the Helium website explains, "not only does [the seed] taste bad, but it can have some particularly unpleasant effects on your digestive system."

Considerations

While the seeds of lychee fruit may have limited health benefits, the rest of the fruit appears to be quite beneficial. From a nutritional standpoint, lychee fruit is low in calories, high in fiber, high in vitamin B complex and vitamin C and loaded with minerals such as potassium. In terms of direct health benefits, lychee is used for coughs, upset stomach diarrhea and gland problems. The peel of the skin is used to fight viruses. In a study by the USDA and National Cancer Institute, lychee roots showed some effectiveness against one type of tumor in tests on animals.

A post info. on Diatomaceous earth

Remarkable Diatomaceous Earth health benefits through Silica 

I use it, my kids use it and my animals use it. As always look it up and gather your info. see if this is the right thing for you. I put mine in empty capsules I buy at the store and on line.
As previously noted, like most wonderful natural products , this product requires an FDA Disclaimer: "This information is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Discussion of Diatomaceous Earth health benefits is based solely on personal experience and testimony shared by individual DE users and this company cannot market or label DE as a human health supplement with specific medical claims." Having said that, we look at what consumers say about DE and at evidence of DE's important cleansing properties and value as a rich source of Silica.
Diatomaceous Earth (DE) has been reported to absorb methyl mercury, E. coli, endotoxins, viruses (including poliovirus), organophosphate pesticide residues, and drug residues. DE is a natural organic colon cleanser and detoxifier. This cleansing and detoxification alone has a myriad of positive effects in the human body. Mechanisms are cited on "How DE Works" page. Adding to this is the widespread deficiency in human dietary sources of what is called "the most important trace element in human health" - Silica, and how rich DE is in this substance, we begin to understand the basis of the health benefits that so many have attested to. Only a trace amount of the DE silica is absorbed into the blood stream, and just that amount is a substantial gain for the user.

A growing number of people count beneficial human side effects of Diatomaceous Earth and SILICA as being nothing short of vital to their well being and exhibit genuine devotion toward its use. The only cautionary side effect that we have found relating to Food Grade DE has to do with direct inhalation and is essentially the same caution that is advised when handling baby powder. DE is a very fine powder.

Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is 89% Silica.

It was established in the 1940s that life can't exist without Silica. More recently, in her book "Water & Salt" Dr. Barbara Hendel states: "Silica is the most important trace element in human health."Silica plays an important role in many bodily functions and has a direct relationship to mineral absorption.

The average human body holds approximately seven grams of silica, needing significantly more silica than even important minerals such as iron. Most people are, in fact, silica deficient. Among other things, enough silica in the body is vital enough for calcium absorbtion to allow calcium supplements to work. If Silica deficient, as is the case in the vast majority of us, calcium supplementation can even be a negative. Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is an excellent natural and organic source of silica.  

                        Other Reported Health Benefits of Silica / DE Include Blood Pressure, Cholesterol , Osteoperosis,Weight Loss , Cosmetics , Hair, Nails , Teeth & Gums, Energy, Bacteria, Mucus, Anti-Aging, Urinary Infections, Headache . 

Keep Reading On For A More Detailed Health Discussion.                 Here's what consumers have to say about Diatomaceous Earth:
Lower High Blood Pressure
Of the thousands of people that are using Diatomaceous Earth, most that have high blood pressure have reported that it has gone down.  It has been so thrilling to talk to people all over the United Statesand have them tell their stories. We are not just talking a few points - we are talking about LIFE-CHANGING numbers.  Doctors are amazed--customers are amazed. You will be, too.

Lower High Cholesterol
According to consumers, just as Diatomaceous Earth health benefits include lowering blood pressure, it has also been lowering cholesterol!  I have not talked with one person that has high cholesterol that has not had lower numbers after taking Diatomaceous Earth.  Most are reporting 40-60 points lower after only 2 weeks on DE.  I know it sounds too good to be true, but it works!

Just received this feedback from a user.."I have been on DE for 6 months now and I just had my lab work done. My triglycerides have been reduced from 495 down to 203. I have so much more energy and my hair and nails are growing so much better. My husband has had high blood pressure and since being on the dirt, his BP is now in the normal range. It has also helped with my varicose veins and I no longer have any pain from them.."
.. Rhonda from Louisiana

Osteoporosis, Joints & CalciumOsteoporosis is a symptom of the aging process. As calcium in our body system depletes, our bones become brittle and weak. Taking only a calcium supplement cannot correct or stop this threatening and crippling disease because the body cannot assimilate and make use of the calcium without the presence of silica. Evidence suggests that, instead of affecting healing, supplemental mineral calcium, on the contrary, accelerates the leaching away of bone calcium and thus hastens the degenerative process of osteoporosis and similar diseases that affect the supportive and connective tissues in the human body. The Silica found in Diatomaceous Earth enhances calcium absorbtion.

For OsteoporosisSilica can stop the pain and even restore the body's self repair process. Osteoporosis symptomsattack women primarily after menopause but the degenerative process starts much earlier in their younger days. More women are dying of fractures caused by osteoporosis than of cancer of the breast, cervix, and uterus combined. Silica is responsible for the depositing of minerals into the bones, especially calcium. It speeds up the healing of fractures and also reduces scarring at the site of a fracture. More and more research evidence shows that through a transmutation process, silica is turned into calcium when it is needed. That is why some scientists refer to silica as a precursor of calcium. Even when calcium is insufficient, the body can turn silica into calcium that the bones need.

Natural Weight Loss
We have been getting hundreds of reports from all over the United States that DE is helping peoplelose weight .  Everyone is saying that DE taken in the morning helps curb their appetite throughout the day.  Just one more reason to take it everyday!

Detox Your Body
Diatomaceous Earth health benefits reported to inlude detox! According to Kaayla T. Daniel, PhD, CCN and Galen D. Knight, PhD in their article "Mad as a Hatter" there is no better product to detoxHEAVY METALS and RADIATION from your body than with Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth!
Nature's Internal Cosmetic
In Europe and Asia, Diatomaceous Earth health benefits are widely recognized to include use as ahealth and beauty product for hair, skin , nails , bones, and joints. They have no FDA.

Tissue Degeneration 
Accelerates due to aging when connective tissue develops an increasing inability to retain moisture when left unassisted. Silica can help slow the degenerative process of connective tissue. With silica, vitality and life, which are often lost as the years accumulate, can be naturally maintained or even restored to your skin. Collagen , largely made up of silica, is the glue that holds us together. If our body has enough silica glucosaminoglycane, the collagen will make us look younger. Silica helps with skin problems and injuries including itching, rashes, abscesses, boils, acne , callouses, warts , eczemas, burns, frostbite, benign skin sores, insect bites and bed sores. If you regularly follow a silica regimen, your skin will keep its youthful look. A good silica supplementation program works far better than other products for maintaining healthier and longer lasting collagen.

Hair That Grows
Hair is nature's greatest beauty enhancer. Hair deserves to be pampered. Hair at 90 micrograms per gram is almost as rich in silica as are healthy bones, which contain 100 micrograms per gram. Silica is a major component of hair. Using a good silica supplement should be part of your ongoing hair care program for revitalizing hair. Silica helps to prevent baldness, stimulates healthier hair growth and assures beautiful shine, luster and strength.

Teeth and Gums
By hardening the enamel, silica prevents cavities and preserves teeth. Silica also prevents bleeding gums, gum atrophy, and recession that causes the loosening of teeth, which could ultimately lead to tooth loss. Silica effectively fights ulceration and the decay of bones and teeth and also lessens inflammation.

Tough As Nails
Your nail plates are complex protein structures that grow four to five millimeters per month on average. With silica supplementation, fragile nails become normal within a short period of time. Silica will beautify the appearance of your nails and improve their hardness, making them shinier and less prone to breaking.

Restorative Effects Of Silica This will be most noticeable on your hair, skin, nails and teeth. Our skin and hair require silica essentially for the same purpose as do other tissues. As we know, the supporting collagen underneath the skin enhances elasticity and beauty. Collagen owes that quality to silica, which provides a beautiful complexion that is more than skin deep.

Pubic Lice (Crabs) and Hair LiceDust Diatomaceous Earth on all areas of the body that are infested with the Lice (Crabs). Also dust your bedding and rooms you have been in. 

More Reported Benefits Of Diatomaceous Earth:

• Silica lowers bad cholesterol and raises good
• Silica fades age spots
• Silica stimulates metabolism for higher energy levels
• Diatomaceous Earth has a negative charge and bacteria has a positive charge. It is believed that Diatomaceous Earth sweeps bacteria out of the body by trapping it in its honeycomb shaped skeletal form.
• Silica supplementation helps repair and maintain vital lung tissue and protects them from pollution. By maintaining or restoring the elasticity of lung tissue, silica reduces inflammation in bronchitis.
• It acts as a cough decreasing agent. Silica tones the upper respiratory tract (nose, pharynx, larynx) and reduces swelling because of its positive action on the lymphatic system.
• Silica supplementation keeps menopause free of stress and helps to prevent many unwantedside effects of menopause 
• Silica works with other antioxidants to prevent premature aging and to preserve youthfulness.
• Silica can help prevent kidney stones and heal infections of the urinary tract. It is a natural diuretic which can increase excretion of urine by 30 percent, thus flushing the water-excreting system and restoring normal function to these vital organs.
• The presence of sufficient silica in the intestines will reduce inflammation of the intestinal tract. It can cause disinfection in the case of stomach and intestinal mucus and ulcers. Silica can prevent or clear up diarrhea and its opposite, constipation.
• Silica will help normalize hemorrhoidal tissues.
• In regulating and normalizing the bowels, silica has a pleasant side effect; it can alleviate lower back pain, which often troubles the elderly.
• Silica proves effective with female discharge, abscesses and ulcers in the genital area and cervix, as well as mastitis (especially for breast feeding mothers).
• The intake of silica acts as a supportive treatment for inflammation of the middle ear. Because of the beneficial effectiveness on the lymphatic system, silica can be used for swelling of the lymph nodes in the throat.
• Has anti-inflammatory disinfecting, absorbing and odor binding effects.
• Silica can normalize circulation and regulate high blood pressure (hypertension).
• Silica can decrease vertigo, headache , tinnitus (buzzing of the ears) and insomnia .
• Silica can help diabetes by promoting synthesis of elastase inhibitor by the pancreas.
• Silica can help arterial disease by strengthening the blood vessels. Studies confirm that with age, silica disappears from the aorta, the heart's key blood vessel, thus weakening its critical connective tissue and resulting in a greater cardiac risk.
• Silica can help prevent Tuberculosis.
• By improving the elasticity of the joints, silica helps rheumatism.
• Silica has inhibitory effects on coronary diseases .
• Silica can help avoiding or alleviating Alzheimer 's disease by preventing the body from absorbing aluminum and may flush out aluminum from the tissues. Silica can stimulate the immune system.

DIATOMACEOUS EARTH

What Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth Does In Your Body 

This page explains the mechanisms of Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth within the human body to achieve the many health benefits that consumers have experienced. (See our our Human Use page).

Diatomaceous Earth Health Benefits: Why and How
1)  As you can see from the picture of Diatomaceous Earth - (magnified 7000 times) - it looks like a cylinder full of holes - kind of like Rice Chex Cereal. This cylinder has a very strong negative charge. As these millions of cylinders move through the stomach and digestive tract, they attract and absorb fungi, protozoa, viruses, endotoxins, pesticides, and drug residues, E.coli, and heavy metals. These are trapped inside the cylinder and passed out of the body. In addition, any larger parasites that happen to be in the stomach or digestive tract are "cut up" and killed by the sharp edges of the Diatomaceous Earth. All of these activities result in a much healthier body with less sickness. We often hear the phrase "I just feel better" with our Diatomaceous Earth users. This better feeling comes from all the "junk" being removed from the body and by giving the immune system the "jump start" it needs.

 2)  Diatomaceous Earth is quite hard. On the hardness scale where diamonds are a 9, Diatomaceous Earth is a 7. This is very important because as those millions of tiny hard and sharp Diatomaceous Earth cylinders pass through the small and large intestines, they "scrub" the walls. After only a few months of taking Diatomaceous Earth, the intestine wall is no longer coated with mucus and molds but CLEAN!! The advantages of this are several:

1. Regular bowel movements (This is the #1 comment everyone makes about DE.)
2. Healthier colon. This is especially important as we get older. A clean healthy colon keeps away polyps, cancers, and ulcers. Today, many are spending thousands of dollars to get colonics to do the same thing as Diatomaceous Earth does.
3. Many users report increased energy and needing less sleep. This is a result of all the food and nutrients that are taken in being better absorbed into the blood stream. With a coated colon--many nutrients never get absorbed.

 3)   A small amount of Diatomaceous Earth gets absorbed into the blood stream as silica.  One of the benefits of Silica is that it helps to destroy bad fats. Everyone we know who takes Diatomaceous Earth has lowered their cholesterol by 40-50 points, and they are amazed at how their high blood pressure goes down. Go to the page on "Human Use" and review all of the benefits of silica to the body.

1. Sore joints and ligaments feel better
2. Skin clears up (acne-age spots-psoriasis)
3. Hair and nails are stronger and grow faster
4. Stronger teeth and gums
5. Healthier respiratory tract--less coughing
6. Menopause has less symptoms
7. Healthier urinary tract

Human Use Testimonials

DIATOMACEOUS EARTH PRICING - INFO

The benefits of silica are many. In today's grains, there is actually a shortage of silica. Years ago, the silica found in our foodstuffs was adequate, but with today's hybrids and depleted soils, only about 1/3 of the silica needed is supplied in our food. Diatomaceous Earth is a simple and inexpensive way to get the silica your body needs.
Any food grade diatomaceous earth uses other than those approved by the EPA, FDA, or USDA are strictly reports of what hundreds of users as well as we ourselves have done with diatomaceous earth.
