Are you a coconut drink lover? Have you ever thought how it can affect your athletic performance - positively (and not only)?



The last few years, there has been an increasing shift of many consumers to fruit, nuts and grain drinks such as coconut, almond, soy etc.

What would you think if I told you that you can increase your athletic performance by drinking just one glass of coconut drink before your workout?


What does the coconut drink contain?


Coconut drink is an important source of medium-chain triglycerides (medium fatty acid content), which are absorbed and metabolized faster than the rest and are a direct source of energy for the body.


How do these affect your training?


Consuming a glass of coconut milk before training leads the body to use these triglycerides instead of our glycogen stores.

This results, the catabolism of the muscles to begin, immediately.

In this way, the muscle endurance gets increased, the muscle fatigue is delayed, and the athletic performance is improved.

In addition, the sugar-free coconut drink is low in calories (only 33 kcal/per glass), low in fat and contains no sugar.

Therefore, adding it to our diet can also contribute to weight loss.



Do you need help losing weight or improving your eating habits?

I will be very happy if you contact me.
