Critical Clean Carbohydrates

Critical Clean Carbohydrates (CCC) – according to Anthony William, the renowned American health author, this is the name given to certain natural carbohydrates, such as those found in coconut water. They can be a valuable source of energy for the body and mind because they provide glucose – a vital fuel that our organs, muscles, and cells need for normal function.

Carbohydrates can contribute to the restoration of normal muscle function after very intense or prolonged physical exercise that leads to muscle fatigue and depletion of glycogen stores in skeletal muscles, as well as to the maintenance of normal brain function.*

Unfortunately, carbohydrates often get a bad rap, and many people try to avoid them as much as possible. Often, no distinction is made between industrially processed sugars and natural sources like fruits or coconut water. Yet these natural forms contain, in addition to glucose, secondary plant compounds, minerals, and other valuable constituents.

Of course, a healthy diet is no substitute for medical treatment, but it can be an important component of a healthy lifestyle. CCCs are easy to integrate into everyday life, taste great, and can help create conscious moments of energy and relaxation—especially in the form of a refreshing glass of coconut water.
