When the summer heat hits, it’s essential to remember that our bodies perspire more when exposed to high temperatures; any slight dehydration can have serious repercussions for our mood, performance and overall health. As such, it’s crucial that you drink hydrating beverages during this season whether working outdoors, lounging in your backyard or just basking in its warmth – although water remains the ultimate hydrating beverage there are other tips and recommendations available that can assist your efforts to remain properly hydrated during this period.
If plain water doesn’t do it for you, try refreshing sparkling waters instead! Not only are these beverages delicious but their cooling effect on both brain and body can help relax you quickly. At Yummy Bazaar we have an array of sparkling beverages from classic soda flavors such as blood orange and lemon to non-cola options so you can find one that meets your preferences perfectly!
Many “water” beverages available on the market, including those marketed as natural or low calorie/zero calorie, may contain more sugar than you realize. When reading labels to ensure you are not drinking liquid full of empty calories.
Create your own flavored seltzer at home using fresh fruit or herbs like rosemary and mint, as well as adding muddled cherries or rose water for an Instagram-friendly beverage that can satiate thirst while helping meet daily fluid intake requirements.
Try adding fresh lime juice or raw honey for an extra tart touch, or something daring like carbonated drinks infused with CBD (an emerging wellness ingredient known to promote relaxation and balance moods), or mixing some hibiscus tea into seltzer for extra fun!
Consider that alcohol beverages can also be very dehydrating. When enjoying a beer or cocktail, be sure to drink a glass of water alongside each one and sip plenty of other drinks like seltzer throughout the day.
