... you really can't be this blitheringly stupid, can you?

Coconut water can be used as a substitute for a saline drip. It has almost no protein, less than a single percent of coconut water is protein by weight, so how can it be used in place of plasma, which is 7-8 percent plasma?
The reason it can be used in place of saline is because fresh coconut water is aseptic IE unless the coconut got cracked open or something during transport, the liquids inside are completely free of microorganisms. It's not ideal as a replacement for a saline drip for long term as saline has a 0,9% sodium saturation, nearly the same as that of blood and coconut water only 0,1%, but in without immediate availability of proper saline, coconut water can be used until saline is available.

Mebbe? I'm not a hæmatologist nor hæmatology student, so this is not something I can talk about with absolute certainty. I've not heard before about any issue related to hypertension/rising blood pressure while on prolonged saline drip. Considering I was on one for six months myself with no change, I can speak from my experience that for me, at least, this was not the case. Not to discount that it may happen to others, but this is the first I've heard of it.

You have to have an immature coconut (not a brown husked one), and drill a hole in and drink the water. You can drink the water out of a mature coconut too, but there won't be as much, and if the coconut is too old, the water won't be nearly as tasty.

You poor cold ass snow dweller.

Coconut water is some of the cleanest water on the planet. Its sterile you can actually operate with it. In poorer countries it is by far the best water source available.
Putting a hole in a coconut should be done with a machete, get through both the husk and shell.
put in straw. drink that simple.

HOWEVER, most normal coconuts whilst delicious are nothing compared to the Royal coconut found in Sri Lanka. Its orange and its contents are mind blowing.
You will never ever know its deliciousness as it's not exported as it doesnt handle freezing well.

Water with a teaspoon of sugar in it doesn't have the other minerals that coconut water has, though. The reason coconut water is good for people who exercise or do manual labor is because it's chock full of potassium (13% of your daily value), and calcium and magnesium (4% both). It's better than water for athletes and has a minute amount of sugar compared to Gatorade and other sports drinks. Hence the dude in OPs pic on his bike. You're missing the point of drinking it entirely. Someone can drink nothing but water or unsweetened tea and still have coconut water when they work out and consider it healthy. You're just being an argumentative baby about the whole thing because you personally don't like the idea of coconut water.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jan 30 13:29:28 2013 No.4195622 >>4185131 Yeah. All those faggots in Thailand are hipsters too for not drinking something out of a bottle!!! Stop using a word without knowing what it actually means.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jan 30 13:50:29 2013 No.4195697 It quenches my thirst and has potassium and it tastes good. Not a hipster. I was introduced by my ex gf and loved it ever since, and this is from someone who dislikes coconut.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jan 30 16:38:28 2013 No.4196101 >>4195463 Heh heh water and powerade is essentially coconut water. The reason they add the powerade to the water is for the potassium :0

>>	Anonymous Wed Jan 30 19:04:29 2013 No.4196468 are fresh sri lankan coconuts just as tasty as these fresh young coconuts? I don't know which to try.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 31 13:44:30 2013 No.4198485 >>4198469 Wat?

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 31 13:47:29 2013 No.4198490 >>4198485 It's gross if you drink small amounts. If you chug it, it's not so bad.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 31 15:43:29 2013 No.4198708 >>4198463 Samefag. Have to admit I feel much better now after drinking the horrid concoction so I guess there is something to it
