When you return home after a long, exhausting day outside, your hand inevitably reaches for a cool, refreshing drink. All the exhaustion, fatigue, and irritation dissipates in just few sips. All it takes is one gulp of the cool beverage to travel through your food pipe to cool your entire system.
Hence, making right choices in selecting your beverages is important. This tiny but correct decision leads to a happy, healthy and more energetic you. So switch from market bought aerated drinks, soft drinks, mocktails and sugary fruit juices to yummier and healthier alternatives and see the change! Listed below are some of the healthier options.
Water
Water is essential to cool down the body. It also helps transport nutrients throughout the body and discharges the waste matter. All other foods that act as coolants do so because they have high water content. Therefore, regardless of what you eat in a day, you must constantly be drinking water to prevent dehydration or any other heat induced problem.
Flavoured water
Adding a flavour to water is another good option. Cut cucumbers, mint leaves, apples, oranges, berry or segments of grapefruit and add them to your drinking water. These additions give distinct flavours to your water. Frozen fruit pieces added to it are aesthetically pleasing as well as delicious in taste.
