COCONUT WATER

Coconut water was used by medics during world war II as emergency plasma transfusions for injured soldiers due to scarce supplies of blood plasma, and the fact that coconut water is nearly identical to human blood. It was suitable for people of all blood types. Coconut is a natural water filter, it takes almost 9 months for a coconut to filter every quart of water stored within its shell. This makes the resulting coconut water completely pure and sterile, which is one of the reason it can be used for blood transfusions. Coconut water has the highest concentration of electrolyte than anything else in nature. This makes it an excellent source of hydration.
