5. People trying to lose weight
Although it’s lower in calories than soda or juice, coconut water contains between 45 and 60 calories per cup. Mindlessly sipping it throughout the day can add up, potentially making it difficult to achieve your weight loss goals.
6. People with restricted liquid diets
Some medical conditions (such as advanced kidney or heart failure) require patients to limit their fluid intake. Coconut water counts toward your daily fluid intake, and excessive consumption can contribute to fluid overload.
Final Thoughts: Moderation Is Key.
Coconut water is a healthy option for most people when consumed in moderation. However, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution, and the idea that “natural equals safe” can be misleading.
If you have a medical condition or are taking medications that affect your kidneys, blood pressure, or electrolytes, you should consult your doctor before incorporating coconut water into your daily routine.
Just because it comes from a coconut doesn’t mean it’s suitable for everyone. Know your body and drink wisely.
