Drink ‘natural’ this summer
Drink healthy this summer!
Yes, it’s heating up. You are sweating, dehydrated and tired. Do not reach for that cola yet. We have some refreshing, natural options for you!
Say NO to cola/aerated drinksWell, all those cold colas
stacked up in the corner shop looks tempting. Skip it! It’s loaded with
sugar and is bad for you in so many ways.
Say YES to Fresh fruit smoothies Try fresh fruit smoothies instead. Buy some strawberries, bananas, mangoes or any other fruit you like. Wash, cut and blend in a mixer with cold milk/yoghurt. Keep some ice handy, add and drink.
Say NO to ice-creamWhile ice-cream or ice-candy can bring you temporary relief from the pains of soaring heat, they do no good for your body.
Say YES to Butter milk Packaged buttermilk is available
aplenty today. Ditch the sugar-loaded packaged fruit juice and grab
that masaledar buttermilk or chaas, as we call it!
Say NO to packaged juice Packaged juice might not be that bad after all. But why go there when you have better options at hand.
Say YES to Kokum juiceGive kokum juice or kokum sherbet, as it is referred to colloquially a shot this summer. It is easily available in powder and decoction form. And kokum can do you a lot of good. It helps prevent dehydration, improves digestion and appetite. What more? It is known to fight infection, cleanse the blood and is good for your cardiovascular health.
Say NO to soft drinksJuice concentrates have a host of preservatives and are loaded with sugar.
Say YES to Chamomile tea Try chamomile tea instead. Brew a kettle full of chamomile, and put in the refrigerator. Pour some in a cup, add a spoonful of honey and slurp! It will hydrate you instantly, and also soothe your nerves!
Say NO to Coffee Hot or cold, doesn’t matter. Coffee
can be really bad for you during the summer. It increases body heat and
will further dehydrate you.
Say YES to Barley waterBarley has cooling properties, which is why barley water helps bring down body heat. It’s an excellent substitute for chai or any other drink for that matter. It cleanses your kidney and keeps it free of toxins.
If you don’t enjoy the tatse, add a dash of lime to the drink like the English do. Or add a spoonful of jeera while you’re boiling barley. This can add a welcome zing to your drink.
We suggest you drink while its warm like you would have your kadak chai… yes, even in this weather.
Say NO to Kadak ChaiKadak chai in summer does you no good. In summer, your favourite chai will leave you feeling tired instead of pepping you up.
