As summers reach the peak, the temperatures are almost touching new records. And hydration is the key to stay healthy and avoid summer related sickness. No matter how healthy you eat, the intake of fluids always feels less especially when you sweat so much!
Drinking only water is not enough; your body needs to replenish the nutrients it loses, as well. We often choose sweetened drinks, but they are harmful and must be avoided. To stay hydrated and healthy you must drink fruits and vegetable juices. They are low on sugar and calories but rich in nutrients. Here are some vegetable juices that you must drink in summers:
