It’s naturally sterile so you don't have to worry about contamination. It is low in carbs, about 99 percent fat free and has extremely low sugar content.
Coconut water keeps the body cool and helps it to maintain proper body temperature regardless of the temperature outside. It is also a great source of dietary fiber, manganese, calcium, riboflavin and Vitamin C.
Besides being an obvious choice over aerated drinks for rehydrating, It’s also a great drink for regulat-ing blood pressure and heart functions. Being a natural diuretic, coconut water is a wonderful remedy for deal-ing with and preventing UTIs (Urinary Tract Infections) and kidney stones.

4Move your body happily It’s always recommended to listen to some music to relax your mind after a whole long day of work. Summer is all about movements, why don’t you fol-low the music to move your body? No matter the music is fast or slow, the movement can always help you burn.
Don’t visit the super-market right after work Just after a stressful day at work, you are tired and hungry, it’s best to advoid gro-cery shopping. Instead, head to your local cof-fee/tea shop for a little bit of refreshment, relax for a while and make a healthy, budget friendly shopping list then head to the marketplace.
Make snack packs for yourself Some people are easy to feel hungry while they are focusing on some complex tasks. If you are one of them, you should prepare some small bags of dry fruit & nuts on your desk. They can pro-vide you healthy vitamins and help you feel full quickly, and are quite low in calories.
