Abstract
Coconut water is a powerhouse of nutrition and its wide application is greatly due to its unique chemical composition providing phytohormones, enzymes, antioxidant compounds, vitamins, minerals, phenolic compounds etc., which are closely associated with its biological activities and pharmacological effects. Coconut water offers numerous medicinal properties. It has anti-microbial, anti-bacterial anti-inflammatory, anti-hypertensive, rejuvenation, hepatoprotective, hypolipidemic and diuretic properties. Coconut water has therapeutic effect on gastric dysfunction, dysentery and child malnutrition and provides control over hypertension. Results of many medical researches indicate that coconut water can aid in exercise performance, reduce swelling, dissolve kidney stones and improve kidney function, improve digestion, relieve constipation, reduce risk of heart disease, lower high blood pressure, and improve cholesterol levels. Consumption of tender coconut water reduces the risk of heart disease, helps to prevent AD pathologies, and prevent osteoporosis in experimental animals. The unique nutritional profile of coconut water also gives it the power to balance body chemistry, fight cancer etc. This chapter elaborates the health benefits of both tender and mature coconut water and their role in reducing the occurrence of life style diseases and providing a healthy life.
