COCONUT WATER

As a lot of you would already know, coconut water from 'tender coconut' or 'young coconut' is very refreshing with lots of health benefits.The fresh coconut water from the coconut is always much more beneficial healthwise than processed ones that comes in packets and bottles. Let's look at the health benefits of coconut water.

* quenches thirst

* lowers blood pressure

* helps lose fat

* boosts metabolism

* prevents muscle cramping

* contains electrolytes needed to maintain vital functions in our body

* promotes healthy skin

* It's a natural anti oxidant

* aids in proper digestion

Do you know a lot of actors and actresses across the world drink coconut water for good health and good skin.

We picked up a 'Tender coconut' from Geant Hypermarket. Its priced 350 fils per coconut. There was approximately 250 ml water in it, which was sweet and tasted great. That was not all. There was some tender soft flesh inside, which was quite nice to have. The flesh inside is very soft while the coconut is still young, before it would turn into a hard coconut with thick, white and hard flesh.

Cut the top portion of the tender (young) coconut like this, creating a hole on the top, insert straw and drink or pour it out into a glass and enjoy the water

The soft flesh inside the young coconut

Scoop out the soft flesh with a spoon and eat.

SOMETHING NICE FOR CHOCOLATE LOVERS

I am a  fan of chocolate, but I can only have it once in way after embracing my new healthly lifestyle. I don't really miss it, for I do have chocolates in moderation few times a month. I saw something new in GEANT hypermarket in 360 Mall,  which chocolate lovers would like to try. Here it is - Shake and Snack! chocolate milk shake with Twix and chocolate milk shake with Maltesers.

RELAXING AND PEACEFUL EVENING AT THE BEACH

I have always enjoyed visiting the beaches and waterfront locations in Kuwait and if I could do it every week, that would give me much joy. Somehow, a weekly visit to the beach is not possible in my agenda of things to do. Anyways, I had a great time just being at the beach and waterfront opposite the Kuwait National Assembly. Great time for me meant, just watching the soft waves, listening to the sound of the waves (it's just so soothing and rejuvenating), and the smell of the sea water or beach is just beautiful, don't you think?. Walking on the sand - at times with sandals and at times without and stand by the shore and let the water bathe my feet... , watching little children play in water and run across the sand and its a pleasant sight to see families spending time together sitting on the sand or couples or friends strolling the walkways. Just watching the sea or ocean is definitely relaxing and healing too. I couldn't take too many pictures as my mobile camera does not do much justice in night photography. I forgot to take the digital camera.  Though not too clear, I took a few pics with my mobile.
