Q: What are the health benefits of coconut water?
A: Coconut water is a good source of potassium. Low potassium intake may be a risk factor for getting high blood pressure. In addition, some studies have shown that potassium supplementation can lower blood pressure. I believe this is why some websites claim that coconut water consumption is effective for lowering blood pressure. Coconuts and the water they contain are a food staple in many countries where coconuts are readily available.
