Dr. Tatiana Jarovskaya revealed drinks that quench thirst in hot weather, and drinks that are not suitable for this purpose.
The doctor points out that in hot weather, thirst must be quenched in a timely manner in order to maintain the balance of salt solution in the body, but not all drinks help in this. For example, coffee, alcohol, concentrated tea, and sweetened soft drinks have the opposite effect.
She says: “Many people drink sweet lemonade or cola in hot weather, and this is wrong because it increases blood density and weakens blood supply. In addition, the level of insulin in the blood rises quickly, which increases the desire to drink these drinks more and more, that is, on the one hand, no The person completely quenches his thirst, and on the other hand, he gets an excess of sugar. It is also not recommended to drink coffee and concentrated tea in the heat because they draw fluids from the cells and act as diuretics, and alcohol also dehydrates the cells.
According to her, the best drink to quench thirst is pure water.
She says: “Pure, unboiled water quenches thirst well: bottled water, spring water, and mineral water as well - provided that it is not carbonated because gases can irritate the mucous membrane of the stomach. Water is rich in electrolytes, that is, minerals, which a person loses in hot weather with “Profuse mineral sweating. When a person drinks water, the body is saturated and maintains the electrolyte balance, and acidic water, such as lemon or orange juice, is a good way to quench thirst.”
The doctor points out that acidic dairy products quench thirst well.
