Q. Does coconut water help with heartburn?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
Yes, coconut water can help with heartburn. Studies show that the natural electrolytes found in coconut water are beneficial in reducing acid reflux symptoms by helping to restore the balance of minerals and electrolytes in the body. The magnesium content found in coconut water also relaxes the muscles around your digestive tract, allowing for better digestion. Coconut water also helps improve digestion by increasing alkalinity and maintaining a healthy gut environment. In addition, it helps to neutralize acids that can contribute to heartburn. Finally, research suggests that drinking this miracle drink could reduce inflammation throughout the body which is linked to numerous diseases such as GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and allergies potentially giving you relief from heartburn over time.
