A good immune system is needed to ward off the high transmission rate of the Omicron variant of COVID-19. Is it true that drinking coconut water can help the immune system?
Although it doesn’t mean it can replace masks and other health protocols, drinking coconut water does have benefits related to infection prevention. This was conveyed by Rita Ramayulis, a nutrition expert from the Royal Sport Performance Center Fitness Clinic Senayan City.
In principle, the immune system is a complex system of cells and tissues that work together to protect the body against infection. One of the needs for this system to work properly is the balance of body fluids, which can be met with coconut water.
“Body fluids have an important role in maintaining cell membranes that protect all body organs, as the main component of white blood cells and help absorb nutrients and distribute them to all cells that need them,” explained Rita.
One of the important ingredients in coconut water according to Rita is electrolyte fluid. Various electrolytes such as potassium, magnesium, and potassium are needed by the immune system to fight infection.
“The electrolytes in coconut water can help regulate fluid balance, prevent dehydration, and even ensure proper muscle function. Of course, we must also ensure adequate carbohydrates and protein at the time of infection,” he explained.
