31 Everyday Foods That Are Terrible for Your Health (Avoid Them at All Costs)

24. Coconut water

I love coconut water to hydrate and replenish electrolytes when I’ve had a busy day. But coconut water varies in health benefits depending on manufacturers.

Always try to find coconut water made from young coconuts because they are brimming with the nutrient rich water that will help your body. The older the coconuts get, the more time the nutrients in the water have to sit inside the coconut and get reabsorbed into the fruit. This leaves the water depleted of these nutrients.

In my opinion, ignore the coconut waters with added fruit juice concentrates. You’re just drinking unnecessary added sugars. If you want fruit flavored coconut water, drop some fresh chunks of pineapple or peach into your water instead.
