Step 1
Learn about the benefits of coconut water. This juice is great to alkalinize the body as it is high in Potassium and contains Calcium and Magnesium. In addition to nutrients, it provides the necessary elements to rehydrate your body.
-
Step 2
Purchase coconut water from your local organic grocery store, health food store or online site. If you are wondering where to buy coconut water, I have found the best value through Amazon.com (see link to coconut water under Resources, below) and the "subscribe and save" option, which saves 15% and is available for free shipping on orders of $25 or more.

Step 3
Drink coconut water as a refreshing beverage, adding fruit garnishes, fruit essences or juice for a fun tropical concoction.
-
Step 4
Use coconut water (in convenient pouches) as a sports drink in place of Gatorade, Powerade and the like. Since coconut water is all natural, it is better for you and more nutritious, without additives, coloring, or artificial flavors.
-
Step 5
Offer children coconut water instead of juice or sweetened drinks. Soda, sugary drinks and even 100% fruit juice can have negative health implications and even contribute to obesity in children. Nip this in the bud by stocking your pantry with delicious coconut water.

Step 6
Learn how to make coconut kefir (a very good probiotic beverage) to reap the benefits of coconut water.
