i heard that drinking fresh coconut water is good for the baby' s skin and hair. anyone doing this already or knows more abt it like when to drink (1st trim or 2nd)? please share if you all have any info.
Meghnah replied. hello rakhi,
Yes Rakhi whatever u' ve heard abt tender coconut is very much true.During the 1st trimester if we drink it,I' ve heard,that it reduces morning sickness.Reason- as Coconut water is rich in pottassium it corrects the electrolyte imbalance caused by repeated vomiting n thereby corrects to a considerable extent Nausea.So we can safely drink it from the first trimester only.

Tender coconut is also rich in vitamins n minerals.Even otherwise we can drink tender coconut,coz again like u said, its god for our baby' s complexion.I also read this- Eating coconut kernel with palm sugar during pregnancy helps in child' s growth & easy Delivery.

Following are tips for pregnant women stated in ayurveda:
* Pregnant women must drink a lot of milk and coconut water.

* Ghee extracted from cow milk taken regularly is good forpregnant women.

* The coconut water or milk consumed is beneficial if taken with mixed sugar, turmeric and saffron.

* White flesh of coconut is healthy for the mother and the fetus.

Tender coconut water tends to flush out the system and cools the body. It is a rich source of potassium.
Theresz no necessity of drinking coconut water daily.If u drink twice or thrice in a week it wud suffice.
Hope this information helps u lil bit.
take care n keep writing.
