Summer hot days have come. The body begins to quickly lose useful moisture, which must be replenished in time. Therefore, the question arises: how to quench your thirst?
It should be noted that the daily fluid intake should not be less than 2 liters. On hot days, this figure doubles.
Of course, you are used to quenching your thirst with sodas and natural juices. Natural or canned juices enrich the body with nutrients and vitamins, but they are not able to quench their thirst. In addition, large volumes of juice drunk negatively affect the digestive organs, causing irritation of the mucous membranes and weight gain.
Mineral water effectively restores moisture loss, but only table water is suitable for this purpose. Real water contains a large amount of salts, which leads to a deterioration in the state of the body. Also, do not let children get involved in "mineral water".
Carbonated drinks are not beneficial in winter or summer. In addition, the substances in the composition of water lead to gradual addiction, which is fraught with negative consequences.
Cold teas (especially green ones) of our own preparation will be an excellent solution in hot weather, as they perfectly quench thirst and tone the body as a whole.
According to doctors, the most optimal drink in the summer is plain water. Of course, this does not apply to the one that flows from your tap. It is recommended to boil or clean it with special filters before use. In the second case, useful trace elements necessary for the functioning of systems are retained in the water. To add flavor, add a couple of mint leaves or lemon juice to the drink.
