You wake up dying of thirst and you go and get coffee. The body is screaming for you to rehydrate and you blow it.

Try this for a quick and good-for-you way to replenish your cells quickly: coconut water and a little juice.

I like cranberry juice. It's tart and needs a little sweetener, which the coconut water has. Any juice will be fine or go for straight coconut water. We carry a wide variety of coconut waters; most are canned but some are fresh and need to be frozen or kept chilled at all times. The latter are the best for taste and benefits. Thailand has some of the sweetest and best-tasting coconut waters while some brands from other countries have a skunky taste and will ruin you from ever trying it again.

If it’s hot outside, try this again later in the day. And if you happen to drink too much booze on any given occasion, drink a container of coconut water before bed and one upon awaking. It’s a miracle.
