Coconut Water - the new health drink?

Word has reached Cocos that coconut water is the new health drink fad.
Here on Cocos we have 5 distinct varieties of coconut, kelapa puyu being the most popular coconut for drinking (it's the orangy-yellow one). I personally like the low growing green ones because you can pick them when they're very green and the water has a fizz to it. Pictured are kelapa gading and kelapa puyu.
I drink water from one coconut a day, well most days, mostly from the palms that drop the coconuts into my front yard. It's wonderfully sweet and best of all it's free!

Another health fad we've heard about is the noni fruit. Good to help get rid of colds and flu. Great if you can cope with the texture and taste and all the seeds in them.

Probably the best foods to eat and drink for health are the ones that are grown locally and naturally - at least you know they're fresh.
