Another heat wave is coming and it’s a great reminder of the importance of proper hydration, and has us craving a refreshing treat. When increased sweating occurs due to heat or physical exertion, it is essential to replenish fluids and electrolytes. Many will opt for a sports drink in these cases, but we would like to highlight the benefits of utilizing natural ingredients to create a similar effect at home!
Incorporating coconut water, fruit, citrus, salt and herbs is a great way to add zest and nutrients to your water. Additionally, aloe vera and chia seeds can be used to create a more engaging texture for those who struggle to consume plain water.
