The summer season has arrived. The scorching sun and humid heat can cause many health problems. In such a situation, it is very important to keep yourself hydrated in summer because a large amount of water is released from your body in this season. When the temperature rises, sweat comes out of the body, which cools the body. Along with sweat, water, and other important minerals are also released from your body. If you do not replenish this lost water and minerals, you may fall into a state of dehydration, which can affect your health.
To avoid dehydration, one should drink more water, eat fruits and vegetables, and avoid alcohol and caffeine. However, due to drinking too much water in summer, the taste of water does not seem good.
