Whether you turn to seltzer water or sports drinks, it can be fun to find new, exciting drinks to help you stay hydrated. But when you\u2019re craving something different than regular water, there\u2019s a popular alternative more people have been turning to: Coconut water.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Coconut water is rising in popularity on TikTok and other social media once more as an effective natural flavor enhancer in mocktails, cocktails, and coffee, among many other popular drinks. It\u2019s not too sugary, not too bold, and enhances flavor instead of watering down drinks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Plus, on its own, it\u2019s often compared to sports drinks and other electrolyte-packed artificial beverages. Is it a better option than sports drinks? Does it actually pack more of a nutritional punch than regular water? Let\u2019s dig into the hydration qualities of coconut water.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hydrating beverages come in all shapes and sizes, according to Joanna Gregg, a registered dietitian with MyFitnessPal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBased on a study<\/a> comparing the hydrating effects of certain beverages, total volume and nutrient composition are what ultimately determine how hydrating a beverage is.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Basically, this means that \u201cbeverages with small amounts of carbohydrates, protein and\/or fat were more hydrating than water.\u201d For example, according to the study, milk is actually one of the more hydrating drinks on the market.\u00a0<\/p>\n But, for the amount of hydration humans require, it isn\u2019t nutritionally recommended to consume that much milk every day. For long-term sustainable hydration, water is still the way to go, says Gregg.<\/p>\n
