However, according to nutritionists, not everyone is suitable to use this drink, especially when drinking it in large quantities or at the wrong time.
According to the World Health Organization, the group of people with low blood pressure should limit it. Coconut water is cool, helps dilate blood vessels and slightly lower blood pressure. For people who already have low blood pressure, drinking a lot can cause dizziness and fatigue.
The second group is people with weak digestive systems, especially people who often have bloating, diarrhea or young children with digestive disorders. Coconut water is rich in potassium and electrolytes, which help cool the body but can irritate the sensitive intestines. Drinking coconut water on an empty stomach can easily cause discomfort, even aggravate digestion.
The third group is people who are preparing for surgery or have just had surgery. Because coconut water can mildly dilute blood and cause low blood pressure, doctors often recommend that patients should not drink it a few days before surgery and limit it after surgery to avoid affecting the blood clotting process.
In addition, we should not drink coconut water in the evening or immediately after strenuous exercise, as it can cause fatigue or slightly lower blood sugar.
Understanding the roots and using coconut water properly will help bring benefits without affecting health. If you have underlying diseases, people should consult a doctor or nutritionist before using them regularly.
