Habit #35:
Drink Buko Juice Regularly
Here’s one of my favorite Healing Habits: I drink Coconut Water or Buko
Juice every day.
No kidding.
We take a trip to the market every two to three days to buy Buko Juice.
We then stack it up in the Refrigerator in plastic jars—and the Buko Juice can
last for two to three days.
My mother has a better system. Her helper brings home the coconuts
with the juice still in their coconut shells. She stocks them in styropor box.
Whenever Mom wants to drink buko juice, her helper will just pick a coconut,
slice the opening, and pour it into a glass from the shell. The closer you are to
from “fresh”, the better, because you retain most of the enzymes.
I love buko juice so much, I probably drink it as much as I drink water.
(Okay, that’s an exaggeration, but not much.)
When I was in the US for a two week vacation, one of the things that I
missed was my daily Buko Juice. It just wasn’t readily available there (or perhaps
I was looking in the wrong places).
Buko simply is the purest liquids that God has give us.

How I Drink It

I drink it in two ways.

First, as juice.
Second, as shake.
I love both.
If I want something more filling, I put the white “meat” of the coconut in a blender, put a little buko juice,
and voila—I’ve got one of the most refreshing shakes on the planet. (Don’t add sugar.)
Whenever anyone in the family feels under the weather, we double his buko juice intake. It’s a powerful
source of enzymes and nutrition, aside from the fact that it’s the best hydrating liquid in the world.

How I Got Interested in Buko Juice

Some time back, I read a book by Pi Villaraza. He was a corporate man who became a hermit for a year.
In his search for meaning, he went to a secluded island and fasted. For six months, he ate nothing else but coconut.

After six months of eating and drinking nothing else but

buko, you’d expect him to be very weak. Imagine how’d you feel
if you didn’t eat for six months. You’d picture yourself lying down
on a bed, barely moving and mumbling incomprehensible sounds.
The opposite happened.
Pi never felt stronger and healtheir in his life.
Yes, he was thin. But his physical energy was incredible.
For example, he’d jog in the beach for many hours. At 2am, he’d
have to stop running, not because he got tired, but because he got
bored. He’d sleep for four hours and be awake the next day, totally
refreshed.
By the sixth month, his excrement was color white. (Okay,
that may be too gross for some people, but that was his experience.)
His sytem was so clean, toxins totally removed, his body was in its
optimal health.
His story got me thinking about buko.
So I did some research.
And what I learned was just amazing…

What Can You Get from Buko Juice?

During World War II, coconut water was being used as an emergency IV solution by military doctors. They
had found out that coconut water can replace commercial IV solutions when rehydration therapy was needed.
The mineral or elecrolyte content of coconut water is the same as our human body fluids. This means it’s
easily absorbed by the body. It contains a mix of nutrients that are needed for growth and development – natural
sugars, minerals, amino acids, vitamins, hormones and enzymes.
Coconut water is a good source of magnesium, calcium and potassium. In fact, a glass of coconut water is
equivalent to the potassium in two (2) medium-sized bananas.
Here are the great things what buko juice can do for you:

1. Slows Down the Aging of Your Cells

One of the most interesting component of coconut water is its plant growth hormones. Coconut water is
a rich dietary source of cytokinins. What’s so great about cytokinins? It’s a group of hormones that can affect the
growth, development, and aging of our cells. Yes, you can slow down the aging of your cells! (Hmm, no wonder
my wife says I’m getting younger.) This means you can lower the risk of developing
age-related diseases if you drink coconut water regularly.

2. Helps Lower Blood Pressure

Another great thing about coconut water is its mineral content. The minerals
potassium and magnesium have been known to help lower blood pressure. Coconut
water’s high magnesium and potassium content is the reason why a lot of studies have
shown that coconut water can effectively reduce high blood pressure and increase
circulation, which in effect can reduce the risk of a stroke.

3. Helps Improve Blood Circulation

Because of its rich electrolyte content, blood vessels dilate and plaque is formation reduced. Coconut
water improves blood flow, which is great especially for diabetics.

4. Aids Digestion

Bioactive enzymes like acid phosphatase and diastase are naturally present in coconut water. These
enzymes help the body’s digestion and metabolism.

5. Good Natural Source of B Vitamins

Coconut water is a good source of riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, pyridoxine

and folates. The body needs these for our general health. Our nerves, skin, eyes,
hair, liver, mouth, muscles, gastrointestinal tract, and brain depend on the B
vitamins so they can function properly. And B vitamins are important for
people like my mother, who is 86 years old. It can’t heal the symptoms of
dementia but it slows down its progress.

6. Great for Fatigue and Weakness

Coconut water is full of natural sugars and salts. It’s full of natural
vitamins that can hold off fatigue and weakness. The vitamin B’s and C’s in a glass
of coconut water is great for replenishing worn out cells and tissues as well as
shielding the body from viruses and sicknesses like scurvy. It’s better than any
bottled synthetic sports drink that is being sold by all those top athletes.
Drinking at least 100ml of buko juice every day means you get around
294 mg of potassium – wonderful for helping lower blood pressure. Forget
about the potassium in commercial “energy drinks”—that doesn’t contain the
other powerful natural stuff in buko juice.
And a glass of buko juice contains only 5mg of natural sugars. Compare
that to the 10-25mg of “alterned” sugars that sports drinks have.

7. Helps Cleanse Your Liver

When buko juice is taken regularly, you also make sure that you’re
helping out your liver flush out all the toxins in your body.
It acts as a detoxifier, washing out poisons in your blood. The lauric
acid in the coconut water has anti-microbial properties that are great for the
liver.

Make It a Habit and Take It Regularly

Buko juice is so fantastic, I had to ask myself the question: Why don’t we know about this?
Here’s the answer. Because buko juice’s not distributed by a large pharmaceutical company. Nor is it
manufactured by a laboratory of a giant MLM or networking company.

Instead, buko juice is sold in your neighborhood wet market by Mang

Tasyo, with “bolo” in hand, wearing his old shorts and faded tee-shirt.
And Mang Tasyo has zero marketing budget.
He can’t afford to put Ads in the newspaper or TV. Nor can he
afford to buy billboard space.
That’s a pity.
Buko Juice is better than any commercial drink out there that’s
being promoted by big ad budgets.
Aren’t you happy you’re taking the 52 Healing Habits Program?
Get healthier.
Drink buko juice regularly.

May your dreams come true,

Bo Sanchez

P.S. Some people say that to be healthy, you have to “sacrifice” delicious food and drinks. I beg to disagree. This
Healing Habit is proof. Drinking a cold glass of buko juice or shake every day is so delicious and refreshing,
you’ll realize being healthy is the only way to enjoy life!
