Low electrolytes

2023-12-03 09:26:27
Hi doctor, My blood test shows low electrolytes (sodium & chloride). My HBA1C is 5.9 I am drinking 3-4 litres of water. Is it safe to consume 1 tender coconut water on daily basis to get enough electrolytes?

Daily is not recommended as coconut water is rich in potassium which might cause excess in blood and you might want to cut water intake to 2.5-3 litres, use rock salt judiciously.
