Coconut Water Warning: Avoid if you have kidney issues, low BP, or before surgery!

• Coconut water, generally healthy, can be harmful for individuals with specific health conditions, especially in winter, as advised by nutritionist Kavita Devgan.
• Avoid if you have kidney problems (high potassium), low blood pressure (further lowers BP causing dizziness), or uncontrolled blood sugar (natural sugars).
• Stop drinking coconut water two weeks before surgery as it affects blood pressure, crucial for surgical control.
• Those with digestive issues like bloating or diarrhea may find it acts as a laxative, worsening symptoms.
• Be cautious with allergies, always drink fresh, and avoid at night if you have a cold/cough; consult a doctor.

Why It Matters: Consult a doctor before consuming coconut water if you have pre-existing health conditions.
