Switching from caffeine to coconut water as the first drink of the day provides a powerful rehydration boost due to its natural concentration of electrolytes like potassium and magnesium. Dt. Amreen Sheikh explains that this morning habit supports fluid balance and cellular hydration, helping to alleviate early-morning fatigue and dryness without the "crash" associated with sugary beverages.

However, those with kidney conditions or diabetes should monitor intake due to the natural sugars and high potassium levels, keeping consumption to a single fresh, unsweetened glass for optimal metabolic benefits.
