COCONUT AS METABOLISM
DISORDERS MEDICINE
2-5% glucose on coconut
Glucose water have endotherm effect ( absorb heat from its

surrounding )
Glucose water gives cooling effect
The cooling effect will increase when the water added by egg yolk
(which is also have endotherm effect)
Metabolism problem ( substance exchange disturbance ) which cause
fever ( have difficulty to sweat)
The coconut water + egg yolk helps people to sweat because it can
dissolve toxic in our body ( but not heavy toxic; such as: insecticide )
The toxin come out in form of urine and sweat

Coconut as Natural Electrolytes

Coconut water contains all the five

essential electrolytes including

calcium, magnesium, phosphorus,
potassium and sodium. As a
natural isotonic which is rich in
minerals and electrolytes,
electrolytes from coconut water
has a similarity with electrolytes in
our body, coconut water is very
beneficial for rehydration and
recover stamina.

nutrients in coconut water is very close to

the composition of isotonic fluid, the
fluid that fits with the fluids in our body.
That is why nowadays many of isotonic
fluids sold as one type of drink for
athletes (sports drinks).

Pregnant women need more water than

others. Dehydration during pregnancy
can cause numerous complications,
including headaches, cramps, edema and
even contraction that can cause
premature labor.

Na /K

pump

Binds ATP and 3 intracellular Na+ ions.

Phosphorylation of ATP into ADP.

The pump binds 2 extracellular K+ ions.

The two bound K+ ions are released.

 Active transport of molecules across membranes.

The enzyme-based mechanism that maintains correct

cellular concentrations of sodium and potassium ions.

By removing excess ions from inside a cell and

replacing them with ions from outside the cell.

Energy for the pump is obtained from the hydrolysis of

adenosine triphosphate.

Controlling cell volume

Maintain volume of the cell
The pump transports 3 Na+ ions out of the cell and in

exchange takes 2 K+ ions into the cell.

Prevent Osmosis

Transport
To provide a Na+ gradient that is used by certain carrier

processes.
Export of sodium from the cell provides the driving

force for several secondary active transporters.

Import glucose, amino acids, and other nutrients into

the cell by use of the sodium gradient.

Hyperkalimia
Another important effect of hyperkalemia is

interference with functioning of the skeletal muscles.

Risk of potentially fatal abnormal heart rhythms

(arrhythmia).
Severe hyperkalemia can cause suppression of

electrical activity of the heart and can cause the heart

to stop beating.
