JAKARTA - When breaking the fast, some people look for drinks that can refresh the body. One of the recommended ones is coconut water.
Coconut water is not only refreshing, but also has a number of other benefits for the body's health. Some of these benefits are as follows, quoted from Health, Thursday, February 26, 2026.
1. Provide hydration
Coconut water can meet your daily hydration needs, especially after fasting all day. This is because coconut water is basically water with added carbohydrates and electrolytes, such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, and chloride.
The electrolyte can help maintain fluid balance in the body, maintain the body's pH balance, blood pressure, and heart rate.
2. Improve digestive health
Another benefit of coconut water is that it can be used as a natural laxative and improve digestive health. The reason is that coconut water contains magnesium, a mineral that supports bowel movements and prevents constipation.
3. Rich in antioxidants
Coconut water contains high levels of antioxidants. This can help fight free radicals that can cause inflammation, to help improve good immunity for smooth fasting.
4. Increase energy
Drinking coconut water during Iftar also helps increase the energy lost after fasting all day. This is because its natural sugar content (about 4 grams per 100 ml) provides an instant energy injection, to raise blood sugar levels that fall during fasting.
