It is very important to keep yourself hydrated in summer. Because lack of water causes the problem of dehydration, which causes many diseases. Most people only drink water to keep themselves hydrated. But do you know that just drinking water is not the best way to beat dehydration. We are not saying this, but health and wellness expert Corey Rodriguez says so. Corey says that by drinking only water, you will not be able to keep yourself hydrated in a better way.
He told that he used to drink a gallon of water daily, which is a lot. They did not complete the deficiency of electrolytes. Corey said that by drinking plain water, I spent my day just urinating and getting essential minerals out of the body.
What are electrolytes?
Electrolytes are a mixture of minerals such as calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium, which when dissolved in water create electricity for the body. Our body acquires these electrolytes from the food items and liquid items that we consume on a daily basis. Electrolytes circulate in different parts of our body in the form of fluids and help in carrying out various bodily functions, such as carrying nutrients to the cells of the body, flushing out waste from the cells, rebuilding damaged tissues balancing the pH level of the body and regulating the functionality of the muscles, nerves, brain and heart.
Water usually contains these minerals. However, due to purification, some of these minerals are destroyed. When we do any physical activity and sweat, the electrolytes get out of the body through sweat, due to which the problem of dehydration arises.
How to add electrolytes to water?
You can add a pinch of sea salt to the water to include electrolytes in the water. Apart from this, ginger and watermelon can also be added to the water. Coconut water is also the most nutritious and best source of electrolyte water, which one can include in their diet. Because it is very healthy. To prepare electrolyte water at home, take half a cup of orange juice, take two cups of water, take a quarter cup of lemon juice, a little sea salt and two teaspoons of honey. You can skip honey if you want.
