8. Balances Blood Sugar

Some promising studies in diabetic animals have suggested that coconut water may be effective in controlling diabetes. One study in rats showed that blood sugars and hemoglobin A1C levels were lower in those who drank coconut water than those who did not. Coconut water is also a good source of magnesium, which can increase insulin sensitivity, lowering blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetics.
