Instead of drinking gatorade, with lots of High fructose corn syrup and lots of bananas, drink a glass of Coconut Water in the morning. It's only 46 calories for cup (8 ounces) and actually tastes pretty good.
Note: Coconut Milk != Coconut Water.

Zico Pure Coconut Water’s naturally high potassium content makes it the perfect addition to mixed drinks because it adds a mildly sweet flavor and helps to fight hang-overs.
Additionally, for you cooks out there, you can substitute Zico for nearly any recipe that calls for water to add a mildly sweet, unique flavor. It was the hit of the weekend at this year’s Cook Eat Drink Live event in Manhattan. Cook Franklin Becker of Brasserie called it “the find of the weekend” at the gourmet food event.

Hi Ed,
coconut water is extremely good for you. I just wrote my enthusiatic notes on its benefits in my blog...please check it out.

For your information though, the picture you have up is of the dry mature coconuts - these are not the ones for getting the coconut water from as they only have a small amount and it's not that tasty. These mature coconuts are best for making coconut milk which involves a simple process of extracting the flesh and blending it with water (I wrote all about that on my blog too)
The coconut water with all the health benefits is obtained from younger coconuts which are often green or yellow in colour. These taste best fresh from the tree but if you can not get them where you are make sure you buy the packaged brand without any preservatives as they make it taste disgusting!
Keep drinking coconut water for your greatest health!

I found a site that sells coconut water as an isotonic sports drink.
Is this product any good? How does it compare to natural coconut water? It is very cheap though.

I couldn't imagine this would work but I tried it the other day and it did. Amazing! I used Vita Coco which tasted great and really helped make the day less unbearable.
