It should not be drunk with or after a heavy meal. Expert Surbhi Pareek says that people who have a problem with acid reflux or heartburn should drink coconut water on an empty stomach. However, there are many other benefits of drinking this healthy drink on an empty stomach.

Drinking it early in the morning boosts metabolism, the benefit of which is weight loss. If the stomach is healthy then the body is protected from many diseases or health problems.
