For that record, coconut water is disgusting

Coconut water is awesome, when it comes straight from the coconut. The crap they sell in cartons is depressing and disgusting.

The carton stuff literally tasted like sweat the one time I tried

Spoken like someone who has never had fresh coconut water straight from a fresh coconut.

It's also one of the few ways to get enough potassium, an essential nutrient for life (that, or eat a shitload of avocado-based dishes every single day). Learn to love it if you want to live a long life. There are also coconut-based drinks like Body Armor that don't taste like coconut, but nothing beats the original source when it comes to getting the most potassium per dollar. So it's best to get used to it and get over it like I did. Eventually you'll enjoy the taste.

Use a little salt substitute on your food. It's potassium salt instead of sodium, and contains a lot more of it than those completely worthless pills.
