Summer is here and with the temperature rising and humidity lingering in the air every single day, staying hydrated has to be at the centre of our daily habits. While many may take drinking water for granted, experts says it not only the easiest way to stay hydrated but is also important for bodily processes. Over the years, some people have realised the importance of staying sufficiently hydrated, and use mobile apps to be reminded to drink water.
Luckily, summers also bring with them a variety of drinks like nimbu paani and fruits like watermelon that can help people stay hydrated. However, city experts say, that shouldn’t stop them from drinking water, which is an essential component of the bodily makeup and is much needed in this season as people sweat more.
