Thirst most often torments people in the warm season, when the air temperature invariably rises in the morning and stays above twenty-five degrees until the evening. The task of quenching thirst lies with drinks, some of which do better than others.
In the summer season, the human body loses much more moisture than at any other time. Sometimes losses are up to four liters per day. And if they are not replenished, it is quite possible that the state of health deteriorates up to fainting. Eaten food partially covers these losses, but beverages account for almost two-thirds of the moisture entering the body from outside. That is why it is extremely important to choose the right thing with which you are going to quench your thirst.
Regular tea takes the lead in the degree of thirst quenching. In order to cope with thirst, tea requires much less than water. Choose according to your taste: black, green or herbal; hot, cold, or warm. Any kind of this drink will give you relief and help you cope with dehydration.
Mineral water perfectly quenches thirst, supplying a lot of nutrients to the body at the same time. When consumed cool, you will not only refresh yourself, but also help the body to overcome the increased fatigue associated with heat. When choosing mineral water, carefully study the label - the degree of mineralization of more than ten grams per liter is suitable exclusively for medicinal purposes. Add a wedge of lemon to it, and its acid will further ease your thirst.
Various fermented milk products will save you in the heat and help you avoid becoming a victim of dehydration. Kefir, curdled milk, yoghurts - all of them are famous for their fast digestibility, as well as helping the body to restore the intestinal microflora.
Kvass lovers can enjoy this drink in the heat, boldly hoping for its positive effects. The amino acids it contains, combined with carbon dioxide, are excellent thirst quenchers.
The fight against thirst with drinks such as coffee, juice, beer, soda, and some others is fundamentally wrong. They will only give relief for a while, but after a few minutes you will again feel the first signs of dehydration.
