Coconut water for stomach problems
Coconut water is not only a refreshing drink but also a health enhancer. Inflammation of the stomach lining is the main cause of some types of stomach pains. An inflamed stomach lining can result in symptoms such as nausea, bloating, and loss of appetite. Coconut water can soothe the stomach lining thanks to an abundance of a substance called tannin, which is known to reduce inflammation.
The tannins in coconut water also have antibacterial properties, which work well against stomach problems caused by a bacterial infection or stomach flu. In addition, coconut water contains lauric acid which the body converts into monolaurin, a compound with antimicrobial activity.
Coconut water contains soluble fiber which helps regulate bowel movements. In the case of diarrhea, which can quickly dehydrate your body, coconut water is highly effective for rehydrating in no time.
Inflammation in the stomach lining can cause another health condition known as peptic ulcer.
Coconut Water For Upset Stomach Pain
This home remedy is simply coconut water. Extract the water from the inside of a coconut!
Go to the store and buy a whole coconut. Both brown and ‘young’ green coconuts will have clear coconut water inside. However, most say that young green coconuts are more effective for this remedy.
A challenge will be getting into the coconut without spilling and losing all of the coconut water inside. One effective way is to utilize a drill to bore a hole into the coconut. Then pour the coconut water into a glass to drink.
