One glass of fresh unsweetened coconut water
One glass of fresh coconut water can stand in for a sweet packaged drink. People with kidney disease should ask a doctor first. This does not replace blood-pressure medicine.
Important: this remedy is only a supportive home measure. Keep taking any medicine your doctor has prescribed, monitor your readings, and consult your doctor before adding anything new.

People with kidney disease should ask a doctor before drinking coconut water, because kidneys handle its minerals. This page does not promise any change in blood pressure. This does not replace blood-pressure medicine.
