Coconut Water Sex Benefits

Coconut is undeniably delicious and exotic. The meat of the coconut is accepted as aphrodisiac, in fact it makes my list of the 10 Best Foods for Men’s Sexual Health. But what about coconut water?

Does the thirst-quenching liquid found at the center of a coconut a key to sexual health?

Coconut water is remarkably hydrating and contains a number of nutrients known to support your sex life, including potassium, magnesium and zinc.

Is coconut water an aphrodisiac?

With its powerful punch of minerals and its ability to balance pH levels in the body, this drink can help raise energy naturally, and subtly, but when it counts the most! It also raises metabolism—thus its reputation as a diet aid and whose sex life doesn’t benefit from a metabolic boost?

Best of all, coconut water is proven to boost circulation, and this is where its ancient, aphrodisiac reputation probably comes in. (Let us not forget that it is the blood flow that makes sexual climax possible).

Coconut water has a few additional aphrodisiac benefits. It is a source of fiber, which, as we’ve discussed before, is beneficial for helping us feel sexy and keep our whole bodies working well.

It also contains a trace of vitamin C, one of those vitamins essential for keeping us looking and feeling young. Lastly, it contains lauric acid, which is associated with keeping our immune systems strong.

While a sip of coconut water may not make you instantly randy, this remarkably nutritious drink is a fantastic choice for supporting your sex life and overall health.
