Myths About Coconut Water During Pregnancy:


You may also come across some myths and it is very important for you to get those facts clear. Here they are:


Myth 1 – Coconut Water Has Magical Properties

Coconut water contains many nutrients, which is the reason it is suggested for pregnant women.

Fact: Pregnant women need all essential nutrients and minerals in proper amounts. It is an age-old myth that coconut water will help meet all those nutritional requirements. But, there is no single food that has all the nutrients. Only a combination can provide you the required nutrients in right dosages. Drinking coconut water alone will not offer all the nutrients. Therefore, it should be supplemented with other food items, fruits, and vegetables.


Myth 2 – Coconut Water Improves Baby Hair

Your baby will be born with thick hair on the scalp when you drink coconut water during pregnancy.

Fact: There is no such relation between consuming coconut water and hair growth on baby’s scalp. It is a benefit blown out of proportion.


Myth 3 – Coconut Water Makes Your Baby’s Skin Fair And Healthy


Drinking coconut water while you are pregnant will give a clear and fair complexion to your baby.


Fact: Mere consumption of coconut water will not make your baby’s skin fair and clear. Your baby’s skin and health will depend on many factors including hereditary, nutrition, parents’ health, and more.
