In the heat, we try to quench our thirst with any liquids that are at hand. But there are liquids that are categorically inappropriate for this.

Caffeine Coffee and other beverages containing caffeine, in fact, contribute to the removal of fluid from the body. In other words, they not only do not help quench your thirst, but also dehydrate the body, which in summer heat can be very dangerous. If you drink enough water, then a day can safely drink two cups of coffee or 200 mg of caffeine. But if you do not drink a lot of water, you should not quench your thirst with coffee - the effect will be reversed.

Soda and sweet drinks Soda and other beverages that contain sugar will also not help quench your thirst.

Having drunk them, you will soon feel a strong thirst again, and the body will receive a huge amount of unnecessary calories, and the level of glucose in the blood converges.

Salted drinks A small amount of salt in the heat does not hurt you, but if you drink a lot of salty drinks, you will feel even thirstier. Do not forget that the salt delays the fluid in the body. Many people in the summer heat face edema of the limbs - they do not recommend drinking salty drinks at all.

Recall that the best way to quench your thirst at any time of the year is to drink a glass of clean water.
