Coconut water is a natural soft drink rich in electrolytes, potassium, magnesium and antioxidants.
According to research, coconut water has the ability to regulate blood pressure thanks to its high potassium content. When you drink a small amount of coconut water, about 200-250ml, 12 hours before bed, your body is provided with enough electrolytes to maintain hormonal balance, help relax the nervous system and improve sleep quality. Coconut water can also reduce cortisol levels - a stress hormone - thereby supporting deeper and more steady sleep.
Regarding kidney function, coconut water has a mild diuretic effect, helping to eliminate toxins and support the filtering function of the kidneys. According to the World Health Organization, providing enough water and electrolytes in the evening can help reduce the risk of kidney stone formation. In particular, coconut water contains lauric acid and cytokinins substances with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which help protect kidney cells from damage caused by free radicals.
However, it should be noted: Drinking too much coconut water in the evening, over 300ml, can cause frequent urination, affecting sleep. People with chronic kidney disease or on a diet limited by potassium should consult a doctor before using it regularly.
Drinking coconut water in the evening at a reasonable dose, about 200ml 12 hours before bed, can help improve sleep and support kidney function.
