Finally, the scorching Indian summers have descended. We enjoy indulging in chilled, aerated beverages in these weather. Summertime hydration is also crucial because the heat and humidity can result in excessive perspiration and fluid loss. However, it should be noted that these beverages can be very unhealthy in the long run due to their high sugar content.
“Dehydration can cause a number of health issues, including heat exhaustion, heatstroke, and headaches. Moreover, it might result in low blood pressure, a quick heartbeat, and lightheadedness, according to Dr. G Sushma, a clinical dietician consultant at CARE Hospitals in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad.
