Healthy Drinks To Beat Summer Heat!

In the summer heat, as I grow older (or up) I enjoy ice tea rather than wine or beer to take the heat away. I realize that as summer has come, the body needs fluids to stay hydrated and fight summer heat! Take a look at some healthy drinks to fight summer.

Healthy drinks:

Grape juice:
This is one of the nutritious drinks which is beneficial for women, but still good for a man. Grape juice promotes digestion and also maintains menstrual cycle. Many women don't have a regular menstrual cycle so having grape juice regularly helps get periods on time. Grapes raise the HDL (good) cholesterol which prevents arteries blockage. Grapes also has antioxidants which lowers blood pressure and repairs damaged cells.

Green tea: This is another healthy drink which keeps the digestive tract clean and is also good for their skin and hair. Green tea is a natural medicine to get clear skin and improve hair growth as it flushes out toxins from the body. If you don't want to have tea on a summer day, try iced green tea or mocktail. You can add honey, chamomile leaves/tea bags and lemon juice in the green tea drink to beat the summer heat and refresh your mood.

Lemon drink: Excessive sweat secretion often leads to dehydration. A glass of chilled lemon juice can not only refresh your mood and cool you down but is also good for the body. For those of you who think a lot about their diet, you can have lemon drink with honey to lose weight. Lemon burns body fat and keeps you hydrated also!

Strawberry shake: To get the soothing effect from the summer heat, try a strawberry drink. You can either have strawberry smoothie or simple strawberry milk shake to refresh your mood and stay healthy too! Antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties increases body uric acid, lowers blood pressure and fights diseases.

These are few healthy drinks! They are not only nutritious but are useful to beat the summer heat!
