People who shouldn't drink coconut water

Coconut water is a popular drink. However, not everyone can drink coconut water because it is not beneficial for their health.

People who suffer from bloating and indigestion.

People with bloating and indigestion should avoid coconut water, as it has a very high fat content (2%), so consumption should be limited. Drinking too much will worsen these conditions.

The question of who should not drink coconut water is a matter of great concern to many people.

People with hemorrhoids, low blood pressure, colds, and rheumatism.

Coconut water, especially from young coconuts, is considered yin, meaning it has cooling properties, soothes and softens muscles and tendons, and lowers blood pressure. People with hemorrhoids, low blood pressure, headaches due to low blood pressure, colds, rheumatism, or heart fatigue due to cold should avoid it.

Women in the first trimester of pregnancy

Pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy should not drink coconut water. According to Professor Bui Quoc Chau, Director of the Vietnam Center for Reflexology and Massage Therapy, coconut water contains a very high amount of fat (2%), so drinking too much can cause bloating and indigestion. During the first three months of pregnancy, pregnant women often experience nausea and morning sickness, and drinking this type of water will worsen their condition.

In addition, coconut water, especially from young coconuts, is considered yin, meaning it has cooling and soothing properties, weakens muscles and tendons, and lowers blood pressure. Therefore, it is not good at all for pregnant women in the early months.

After the first three months of pregnancy, expectant mothers can freely drink coconut water, and it's even considered a "golden" drink for pregnant women. However, they should only drink one coconut per day and avoid drinking it in the evening.

Things to keep in mind when using coconut water.

Coconut water should not be consumed excessively: avoid drinking more than 3-4 coconuts or drinking it continuously for many days.

You shouldn't drink coconut water in the evening (it can cause bloating).

Drink coconut water slowly (do not add ice or other chemicals).

After being out in the sun, drink coconut water little by little (avoid drinking too much as it can lead to symptoms such as chills, bloating, mild fever, or high fever).

When competing in sports, drinking too much coconut water can cause the limbs to feel weak, reducing the necessary stamina and quick reflexes.
