Can people with kidney disease drink fresh coconut water

kidney failure

Can people with kidney disease drink fresh coconut water? Recently, some people have consulted us this question, so we would like to tell them whether they can drink young coconut water.

Coconut water is nutritious clear liquid inside the coconut fruit which is packed with vitamins and minerals. There is usually more water in a young coconut, because the water is replaced by the white flesh gradually as it matures. Therefore, people with kidney disease but no symptoms are recommended to drink the coconut water that are harvested off when the coconut are still young and green.

As the most nutrient dense part of the coconut, coconut oil is claimed to help with diabetes, cancer, kidney function, digestive disorders, immunity, weight loss, and vitamin absorption. For people with kidney failure, diabetes may be the primary causes, and the other disorders may be the complications of impaired kidney. Therefore, coconut oil can be used to ease patients’ symptoms and preserve their kidney function.
Does it mean these patients can use this oil without limitation?
Of course no. For kidney failure patients, their diet is usually very strict, because any mistake in their diet may worsen their illness condition or cause some problems. Therefore, even though coconut oil is good for kidney failure patients, they should also use it with doctor’s or dietitian’s guidance.

Many studies have shown that young coconut water has a good antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity effect. For people with kidney disease, they are more susceptible to infections and inflammatory. Therefore, drinking moderate amount of coconut water is good for them.

Because some substances in the coconut water have a function of diuretic, they can prompt kidney disease patients to make more urine. As a result, more wastes and toxins will be removed from the body. However, if you can’t make sure, you are not suggested to drink it.

The coconut water is quite similar to intracellular fluid, so drinking it can supply enough fluid to the kidney cells, boost patients’ energy, increase the blood volume, prevent skin problems, etc. With more energy, patients can fight against their disease better.

Rich in potassium and other minerals, coconut water can help regulate electrolyte imbalance and replenish and rehydrate the body. It has been commonly used to treat dehydration due to dysentery, cholera, diarrhea and stomach flu and electrolyte imbalance.
