Because of its electrolyte profile, coconut water is a popular beverage after physical activity and may contribute to daily hydration.
People with kidney disease or those who need to limit potassium intake should consult their healthcare provider before consuming coconut water regularly.
Natural Sea Salt
A very small pinch of unrefined sea salt can add trace minerals and flavor.
However, moderation is important.

If you have high blood pressure, kidney disease, or have been advised to follow a low-sodium diet, omit the salt unless your healthcare provider recommends otherwise.
