Hello everyone. How are you all? Hope all are good. Summers have approached and it becomes essential to keep ourselves hydrated. Summer is a season that makes us easily dehydrated from all the scorching heat and sweat. Ideally we should drink loads and loads of liquids to keep our skin and body healthy. So let’s see some of the refreshing drinks that helps to keep ourselves well hydrated throughout the summer.

It is a great natural electrolyte which relieves fatigues and tiredness. It contains a lot of anti-oxidants necessary to prevent damage caused by free radicals and improves the overall metabolism and functioning of the body. You can easily have one tender coconut a day as it is entirely fat free and sugar free. Just cut the top of the tender coconut and you are ready to drink.

Buttermilk is a tasty probiotic drink that is packed with numerous health benefits. The combination of water, curd, salt and spices such as jeera, ginger, mustard seeds and curry leaves will replenish your fluid and electrolyte levels instantly making it the perfect way to stave off dehydration.

A glass of buttermilk with your meals can improve digestion and keep you cool. Drinking a glass of cold buttermilk can be soothing when we get warm flushes and significantly reduces body heat.
