In the summer heat, moisture for the body is simply necessary, since up to four liters of liquid evaporate with sweat at this time. You just need to know which drinks will best save you from the heat and quench your thirst.
Water
Nothing can quench your thirst better than plain water. Water is a universal solvent and medium in which all natural biochemical reactions take place. Water can be like clean well water, from a spring, but if there is none, then just purified through a high-quality filter will do.
Mineral water
Drinking a liter of table mineral water per day should become the norm, because at high temperatures, a large amount of useful minerals are excreted from the body along with the liquid. Just do not confuse table water from supermarkets with that sold in pharmacies.
Homemade crocheon
Homemade crochet is a wonderful thirst quencher. Here is one of the options for its quick preparation: you need to finely chop the apples and cucumbers, then pour them with cool boiled water and leave for several hours. With this method, all biologically active substances and useful minerals enter the water. The huge benefit of such an excellent thirst quencher and refreshing drink is that it contains zero calories. You can experiment with any fruits and berries. It should be borne in mind that the taste of the drink and its saturation are noticeably improved when using more ingredients, as well as with careful grinding. Ideally, all foods should be grated.
Iced green tea with lemon
If you give preference to this healthy drink, then you must not forget that it must be freshly prepared. All the beneficial properties of a long-standing drink are nullified.
Mojito light cocktail
In the heat, it is difficult to come up with a more suitable drink. To prepare it, pour thinly sliced lime and pounded mint with water.
Homemade compote
Dried fruits or any frozen berries are poured with boiling water and boiled for a couple of minutes. In order for the drink to infuse well and have a rich taste, it is best to prepare it overnight.
Not recommended:
Sweet carbonated drinks, since they do not quench thirst, moreover, they induce appetite and are very high in calories.
The packaged juice is just real liquid candy. You do not need to believe the advertisement, there can even be no talk about any benefits. Solid calories in the form of carbohydrates.
Freshly squeezed juice will be useful only if it is consumed quickly, if it is left standing, it loses its useful properties. And there are a lot of calories.
Refreshing drinks such as kvass and cold teas are absolutely not suitable for quenching thirst, as you can see by reading their composition on the label.
