Dubbed a “miracle drink,” coconut water offers numerous health benefits, but not everyone should consume it.
1. People with High Potassium Levels in Their Blo.od:
Coconut water is rich in potassium, making it unsuitable for individuals who already have elevated potassium levels in their bloodstream. Consuming too much potassium can lead to hyperkalemia, a condition that may cause irregular heartbeats, muscle weakness, and even cardiac arrest.
2. Individuals with a Cold (Yin) Constitution:
Coconut water has a cooling effect on the body. For individuals with a cold constitution (those who often experience cold hands and feet), drinking coconut water in excess can disrupt the body’s yin-yang balance, leading to fatigue and physical weakness.
3. Pre.gnant W.omen in the First Trimester:
During the first three months of pre.gnancy, the fetus is still in the early stages of attachment to the uterine wall. Since coconut water has a cooling nature, excessive consumption may cool the bo.dy too much, increasing the risk of misc.arriage.
Additionally, drinking coconut water frequently during this period may worsen morning sickness, causing bloating and digestive issues.
