Top 5 health benefits of coconut water

Coconut water is the clear liquid found inside green, immature coconuts. Young coconuts are favoured for their water as it is tastier, more plentiful in volume and easier to access. Varieties of coconut yield slightly different-tasting water, depending on where they are grown.Coconut water also differs in taste and nutrition to coconut milk and oil, both of which are made from the flesh of the coconut.

What is Coconut Water?

A 100ml serving of coconut water (ready to drink) provides:<ul><li>18Kcal / 75KJ</li><li>0.2g Protein</li><li>0.0g Fat</li><li>4.1g Carbohydrates</li><li>4.1g Sugar</li><li>165mg Potassium</li></ul>﻿Commercial products will vary in nutritional composition, with sugar levels ranging from 3-6g (about 1 tsp) per 100ml. It’s not unusual for a 330ml serving of branded coconut water to provide over 15g sugar (roughly 3 tsp).

Nutritional profile of coconut water

For the majority of people, coconut water is generally recognised as safe. However, if you have renal failure or a kidney condition that requires you to manage your potassium intake, it may not be an appropriate source of regular hydration.Furthermore, coconut water is a source of simple carbs, so if you’ve been diagnosed as pre-diabetic or diabetic, check first with your GP or registered dietician before adding significant quantities to your diet.Allergic reactions to coconut are rare, although contact dermatitis and sensitisation to the tree pollen is more common.

Is coconut water safe for everyone?

Coconut water is the perfect beverage for restoring hydration and replenishing electrolytes lost during exercise.

Coconut water burst onto the scene a couple of years ago, touted as an all-round miracle drink. Registered nutritionist Jo Lewin explains these health claims.

The Health Benefits of Coconut Water

A person cannot taste food unless it is mixed with saliva. For example, if a strong-tasting substance like salt is placed on a dry tongue, the taste buds will not be able to taste it. As soon as a drop of saliva is added and the salt is dissolved, however, a definite taste sensation results. This is true for all foods. Try it!

Saliva Requirement

Chemoreceptors in the taste buds of your tongue require a liquid medium in order for the flavors to bind into the receptor molecules. If you don't have liquid, you won't see results. Now, technically you can use water for this purpose rather than saliva. However, saliva contains amylase, an enzyme that acts on sugars and other carbohydrates, so without saliva, sweet and starchy foods may taste different from what you expect.

Chemoreceptors

The receptors are located all over your tongue, though you may see increased sensitivity to certain tastes in certain areas. <ul><li>The sweet-detecting receptors are grouped near the tip of your tongue, with the salt-detecting taste buds beyond them.</li><li>The sour-tasting receptors along the sides of your tongue.</li><li>And the bitter buds near the back of the tongue. </li></ul>Your sense of smell is closely tied to your sense of taste, too. You also need moisture to smell molecules. This is why dry foods were chosen for this experiment. You can smell/taste a strawberry, for example, before it even touches your tongue!

You have separate receptors for different tastes, such as sweet, salty, sour, and bitter

Unless the food is mixed with saliva you can't taste it.

Can you taste food without saliva? Here's an experiment to try to test it and an explanation of the science of how it works.

Research shows that intuitive eating has some long-term benefits for most people, but it may not be the perfect fit for you.

Considering quitting diet culture and switching to intuitive eating? Dr. Kevin Duplechain shares the pros and cons of this mindful approach to food.

The Pros and Cons of Intuitive Eating

<ul><li>Throw out the diet books and magazine articles that offer you the false hope of losing weight quickly, easily, and permanently. </li><li>Get angry at diet culture that promotes weight loss and the lies that have led you to feel as if you were a failure every time a new diet stopped working and you gained back all of the weight. </li><li>If you allow even one small hope to linger that a new and better diet or food plan might be lurking around the corner, it will prevent you from being free to rediscover Intuitive Eating.</li></ul>

Intuitive Eating Rejects the Diet Mentality

Keep your body biologically fed with adequate energy and carbohydrates. Otherwise, you can trigger a primal drive to overeat. Once you reach the moment of excessive hunger, all intentions of moderate, conscious eating are fleeting and irrelevant. Learning to honor this first biological signal sets the stage for rebuilding trust in yourself and in food.

Intuitive Eating Teaches You To Honor Your Hunger

Give yourself unconditional permission to eat. If you tell yourself that you can’t or shouldn’t have a particular food, it can lead to intense feelings of deprivation that build into uncontrollable cravings and, often, bingeing. When you finally “give in” to your forbidden foods, eating will be experienced with such intensity it usually results in Last Supper overeating and overwhelming guilt.

Intuitive Eating Means Making Peace with Food

The food police monitor the unreasonable rules that diet culture has created. The police station is housed deep in your psyche, and its loudspeaker shouts negative barbs, hopeless phrases, and guilt-provoking indictments. Chasing the food police away is a critical step in returning to Intuitive Eating.

Intuitive Eating Challenges the Food Police

In our compulsion to comply with diet culture, we often overlook one of the most basic gifts of existence—the pleasure and satisfaction that can be found in the eating experience. When you eat what you really want, in an environment that is inviting, the pleasure you derive will be a powerful force in helping you feel satisfied and content. By providing this experience for yourself, you will find that it takes just the right amount of food for you to decide you’ve had “enough.”

Intuitive Eating Means Discovering the Satisfaction Factor

In order to honor your fullness, you need to trust that you will give yourself the foods that you desire.  Listen for the body signals that tell you that you are no longer hungry. Observe the signs that show that you’re comfortably full. Pause in the middle of eating and ask yourself how the food tastes, and what your current hunger level is.

Intuitive Eating Lets You Feel Your Fullness

<ul><li>Recognize that food restriction, both physically and mentally, can, in and of itself, trigger loss of control, which can feel like emotional eating. Find kind ways to comfort, nurture, distract, and resolve your issues. </li><li>Anxiety, loneliness, boredom, and anger are emotions we all experience throughout life. Each has its own trigger, and each has its own appeasement. Food won’t fix any of these feelings. It may comfort for the short term, distract from the pain, or even numb you. </li><li>But food won’t solve the problem. If anything, eating for an emotional hunger may only make you feel worse in the lon<warningtag>g run. You’ll ultimately have to deal with the source of the emotion.</warningtag></li></ul>

Intuitive Eating Means Coping with Your Emotions with Kindness

Accept your genetic blueprint. Just as a person with a shoe size of eight would not expect to realistically squeeze into a size six, it is equally futile (and uncomfortable) to have a similar expectation about body size. But mostly, respect your body so you can feel better about who you are. It’s hard to reject the diet mentality if you are unrealistic and overly critical of your body size or shape. All bodies deserve dignity.

Intuitive Eating Teaches You To Respect Your Body

Forget militant exercise. Just get active and feel the difference. Shift your focus to how it feels to move your body, rather than the calorie-burning effect of exercise. If you focus on how you feel from working out, such as energized, it can make the difference between rolling out of bed for a brisk morning walk or hitting the snooze alarm.

Intuitive Eating: Get Active and Feel the Difference

Make food choices that honor your health and taste buds while making you feel good. Remember that you don’t have to eat perfectly to be healthy. You will not suddenly get a nutrient deficiency or become unhealthy, from one snack, one meal, or one day of eating. It’s what you eat consistently over time that matters. Progress, not perfection, is what counts.

Intuitive Eating: Honor Your Health

10 Principles of Intuitive Eating

Touted as the “anti-diet,” intuitive eating is all about creating a positive relationship between food and one’s own body.Principles: <ul><li>Ditch the diet mentality</li><li>Respect your hunger</li><li>Stop warring with food</li><li>Stop viewing foods as “good or bad”</li><li>Enjoy what you eat</li><li>Appreciate your body</li><li>Exercise</li><li>Attend to your health with “gentle nutrition”</li></ul>Having a positive body image and taking a balanced approach to diet are crucial to both your physical and mental health. However, there are some problems that arise with practical application.

A Deeper Look at Intuitive Eating

Despite being promoted as the “anti-diet,” it is still a diet because it’s a guided approach to how you consume food. And like any diet, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution.For some people, for example,  listening to their body ends up with them overeating and gaining even more weight.

Why Intuitive Eating Doesn’t Work for Weight Loss

<ul><li>Like any diet, intuitive eating is a habit you develop. The times you eat every day affect when you will feel hungry. Eating out of habit is different from emotional eating because you’re teaching your body when to be hungry.</li><li>What you eat can perpetuate hunger. In particular, refined carbs and processed foods with lots of sugar will mess up your hunger cues. Learning how to structure your meals with the proper ratio of macronutrients and calories allows you to control your hunger — rather than letting it control you.</li></ul>

Hunger is Affected by When And What You Eat

Just because you aren’t counting calories when eating intuitively doesn’t mean they don’t matter anymore.And even if you eat mindfully, it’s really easy to overconsume foods when you have no idea how many calories are in them — regardless of if you’re eating “healthy foods.”For example, nuts like almonds and cashews are great foods for providing nourishment and satiating your hunger. But each nut packs a wallop, and you can quickly eat 400–500 calories of them without even realizing it.=You can just as easily consume way more than you burn just from what you drink on any given day. If you’re not t<warningtag>racking calories, you might have soda, juice, smoothie, or another calorie-laden drink just because you’re thirsty.</warningtag>

Calories Still Matter

You can respect, love, and honor your body at any size. Your self-worth as a person has nothing to do with weight or aesthetics.But health is another matter. Obesity is irrefutably linked with the increased risk of a host of health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.By sticking with small calorie deficits and taking a break every month to two to eat at maintenance, you can gradually reach your health and fitness goals without developing a toxic relationship with food or feeling deprived.

Body Image and Health are Separate Issues

If you’ve been struggling with intuitive eating and weight gain, it might be time to try a more structured, gradual approach to healthy eating.

Even though I recommend calorie and macro tracking to people trying to lose weight or optimize their fitness, I myself do not really track calories anymore — I haven’t for months now. I keep loose…

The Downsides of Intuitive Eating And Why It Doesn’t Work for Weight Loss

Plenty of research shows that a diet rich in produce offers valuable nutrients not just for your body, but for your mental well-being.But here’s the irony: If you focus exclusively on the mental and physical health perks — instead of how delicious healthy foods can be — you may have a harder time reaping those benefits.So to really use food to fuel your body and your mind, it may help to try letting your taste buds guide you to delicious dishes that also happen to be nutritious.

Healthy eating should not be boring or depriving

Before you jump in and redesign your entire diet in one fell swoop, make one change at a time. So instead of turning down both bread and fries at your next dinner out, start off by making just one swap, such as trading the fries for roasted cauliflower, but letting yourself have a piece of bread. This will help your mind adjust to the healthy changes instead of retaliating against deprivation mode.

A smart decision-maker starts small

<ul><li>Healthy foods have so much more to offer than mere vitamins and nutrients, such as delicious crunch, a colorful feast for the eyes, and, yes — a ton of flavor. </li><li>Being mindful of these “experiential” elements of eating could help you choose wisely. This could be as simple as topping a salad with some fresh herbs or keeping a bottle of hot sauce at work to amp up the flavor of an otherwise “boring” plate. </li><li>These strategies can “help us enjoy eating nutritious foods time and again and feel satisfied when we do because we aren’t in a mindset of restriction.</li></ul>

Focus on flavor

3 p.m. snackers, take heart: Preparing your indulgences in advance is a research-backed strategy for keeping your cravings in check.. In a series of field studies surveying real office environments, researchers from Carnegie Mellon University found that employees who decided on their lunch orders in the morning consumed five percent fewer calories than their colleagues who made their choices in the moment.By planning your lunch or snack time menu ahead of time — and planning something nutritious yet delicious — you’ll get to eat what you want… and your brain will benefit, too.

Be a smart decision-maker when it comes to food

When you’re feeling down, it can be tempting to turn to food to lift your spirits. However, the sugary, high-calorie treats that many people resort to have negative consequences of their own.Recently, research on the relationship between nutrition and mental health has been emerging. Yet, it’s important to note that mood can be influenced by many factors, such as stress, environment, poor sleep, genetics, mood disorders, and nutritional deficiencies.Therefore, it’s difficult to accurately determine whether food can raise your spirits.

What Is Adipose Tissue 

fat loss occurs when fats are liberated from adipocytes into circulation to supply needed energy (Porter et al., 2009)

main types of adipose tissue - white adipose tissue (waist, thighs) - brown adipose tissue (neck)

The best way to help the body activate fat burning abilities is to eat thermogenic foods, drink plenty of water, and exercise regularly (paul, 2009)

Men tend to store more visceral fat, leading to obesity around middle of their abdomen, which are called belly fat (Cannon et al., 2018)

Women tend to store subcutaneous fat within the buttocks and thighs (Brown et al. 2017)

White adipose tissue has three function: <ul><li>heat insulation</li><li>mechanical cushion</li><li>source of energy </li></ul>(Alligier et al. 2011)

Summary of how fat is burnt supported by scientifical report 

Adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue composed of adipocytes. Recently, this tissue has been recognized as a major endocrine organ. The physiological process of fat loss occurs when fats are liberated from adipocytes into circulation to supply the needed energy. Nutrition supplements that increase fat metabolism, impair fat absorption, increase weight loss, and increase fat oxidation during exercise are known as fat burners. A good fat burner must burn the stored fats, break down the fat cells, and increase the metabolic rate. Eating thermogenic foods helps burn fats. Fat flush diet comes to repair the damage that resulted from ingested and environmental toxins stored in adipocytes. This review will focus on the recent advances in fat burning supplements, fat burning foods, and fat flash diet. The human body can act as a fat-burning machine by depending on low-calorie foods instead of high-calorie foods in addition to doing regular exercise, avoiding toxins and processed food, and applying any fat flush dietary program under the approval of a professional doctor. What’s new in this review is that it may orient our attention to the importance of using natural fat burners in the fat burning process in an attempt to avoid medications that have many side effects by targeting other organs and it also gives an idea of the importance of increasing the brown adipose tissue content because its activation could be linked to a feeling of being full. We need further studies in this context.

Physiological process of fat loss - Bulletin of the National Research Centre

If you’ve ever tried to lose weight, you’ve probably heard about the importance of “calories in versus calories out.” This concept is based on the idea that as long as you eat fewer calories than you burn, you’re bound to lose weight. However, some people insist that the type of food you eat matters much more than the number of calories it contains — both in terms of weight loss and long-term health.

Calories in versus Calories out

The “calories in versus calories out” model is based on the idea that to maintain a stable weight, the number of calories you eat needs to match the number you expend. “Calories in” refers to the calories you get from the foods you eat, while “calories out” is the number of calories you burn.

Model

Different foods can affect your hormone levels in different ways.The differing effects of glucose and fructose serve as a good example. These two <a href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/simple-sugars">simple sugars </a>provide the same number of calories per gram, but your body metabolizes them in completely different ways.A diet too rich in added fructose is linked to <a href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/insulin-and-insulin-resistance">insulin resistance </a>, increased blood sugar levels, and higher triglyceride and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels than a diet providing the same number of calories from glucose.

The source of calories impacts your hormones and health differently

Your nutrient intake impacts your hunger and feelings of fullness.For instance, eating a 100-calorie serving of beans will reduce your hunger much more effectively than eating a 100-calorie serving of candy.That’s because foods rich in protein or fiber are more filling than foods containing lower amounts of these nutrients.This is why most processed foods that are rich in fructose but devoid of protein or fiber generally make it more difficult for you to maintain an energy balance.

The types of food you eat affect how full you feel

Foods affect your metabolism differently. For instance, some require more work to digest, absorb, or metabolize than others. The measure used to quantify this work is called the thermic effect of food (TEF).The higher the TEF, the more energy a food requires to be metabolized. <a href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/how-protein-can-help-you-lose-weight">Protein </a>has the highest TEF, while fat has the lowest. This means that a high-protein diet requires more calories to be metabolized than a lower-protein diet does.

The source of calories has different effects on your metabolism

If you've ever tried to lose weight, you've likely heard of the somewhat controversial “calories in versus calories out” concept. This article investigates whether the “calories in versus calories out” model really matters.

‘Calories in, Calories out’ — Does It Really Matter?

In a perfect world we’d never overeat and our body would maintain a perfect weight throughout our life. We tend to think of metabolism as some kind of ‘place’ inside us which can then be dialed up or dialed down like a thermostat.Erroneous thinking:<ul><li>foods like chilly peppers and green tea will increase metabolism</li><li>alcohol or fruit juice will slow down metabolsm</li></ul> Metabolism or our basal or resting metabolic rate, is a chemical process that is itself made up of two different processes.

Summary

Anabolism. it is a process of synthesis.<ul><li>The body’s cells use the process of anabolism to create complex molecules from simple ones. </li><li>Anabolism takes a lot of energy to happen. That energy is supplied by its other half called Catabolism. </li></ul> Catabolism. it is the break down of large complex molecules in the body. <ul><li>Glycolysis. the process via which the body breaks down glucose and generates energy, and the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which powers the muscles are two perfect examples of catabolism.</li></ul>

Process of metabolism

Spices and chilli, as well as coffee, will temporarily boost our metabolism for a short period of time, almost insignificantly.

Myth #1: Some foods have been shown to increase our metabolic rate.

A recently published study used data from 6,500 people from 29 different countries.It found evidence that shows that the base metabolic rate of an infant shoots to almost double that of an adult shortly after birth but then begins to steadily decline until about the age of 20. Then from age 20 – 60 it remains the same and then it slowly begins to decline again after the age of 60 reaching a 20% reduction by age 95.

Myth #2: With age our metabolic rate slows down which is why we put on weight.

There are many genetic and lifestyle factors that affect how excess weight is added to the body. What we do know now, however, is that skinny people burn the same amount of energy per pound of weight as people who are overweight. So the difference in weight has to be attributed to other factors.

Myth #3: Skinny people have a higher metabolic rate which is why they don’t put weight on. 

"Weight loss is not linked to metabolism" Some studies that reached this conclusion:<ul><li>2017. Increases in Physical Activity Result in Diminishing Increments in Daily Energy Expenditure in Mice</li><li>2021.

Metabolism and Weight Loss

To stay trim the best tactic is to avoid putting extra weight on in the first instance. If, however, we do have some extra weight then losing it has to be a slow, methodical process that incorporates exercise and an increase in daily physical activity. <ul><li>Things like taking the stairs instead of the elevator, increase the body’s caloric burn significantly. </li><li>When combined with a sustained and sustainable exercise program, They become the tried-and-true strategy for preserving our ideal weight.</li></ul>
