Coconut water once a day is enough

Excess can cause some electrolytes disturbance

Sugar cane... Best avoided

Why once a day only ? If renal function is good there should be no problem. Metabolically potassium is exchanged with Na i.e. Na is lost in urine if K is to be absorbed. It's a normal physiological process in the cells and in the nerve conduction. whenever Na effluxes out of cells as in an impulse conduction K gets into the cells. Without which Na can't come out. It's said to be good for healing. Low sodium salts have K instead of Na. Our black salt and rock salts are high in K. K keeps blood pressure under control. Our coconut should be high in K.

If you have any further information regarding "coconut water not good " please let me know.

He is not diabetic. Sugarcane juice not good for us but for him an instant source of energy. Nothing wrong for him if taken in moderation. Jaggery / gud is also good. An instant energy. Gud with copra good for him.

Yes. If someone takes plenty of coconut water unjudiciously he/ she may have harm because Na is very important for cell functions. And taking coconut water unjudiciously depletes the body of Na.
