During summer days, our body loses water because we sweat a lot. And so I ask myself what's the best thing to drink on a hot summer day?
I usually prefer a cold glass of water. It is affordable, very easy to find, no preparations needed and not only that it cleanses our body. However, I also prefer fruit juices like coconut, orange, ripe mango, melon, the choices are endless. They're sweet and refreshing specially when turned into smoothies! They are also full of vitamins, which is good for our body. Most of the fruits you can find are good for the skin that can help take care of our skin especially in the scorching heat.

i think water is still the best thing to drink during hot summer days, not only it eases thirst it also invigorates us after playing our favorite sports under the sun.
Cold green tea helps is good as well.. it cleanses or removes toxins from our body.. just add lemon or honey and you'll enjoy it!

It looks like several people are health conscious nowadays. I cannot blame them, summer is the time to show our body in the beach so we really need to lose all those toxins.

i need to drink a lot of green tea because it also helps to slim down. For a fat lady like me, I need to have healthy drinks in a hot summer day so that I can freshen up and lose weight as well.

Just joking. Yup, tea is a good idea.No wonder there's a lot of bottled flavored tea nowadays. Or, you can just create a fruit soothie. Ummmmmm!

Personally on a hot summer day I like to make my favorite teas and put them on ice after they steep, cos then you still get the benefits of the tea but it is still col and refreshing. My current favorites are Coconut Mango Oolong and African Red. The pre-made ice teas and powders are gross to me after making the good stuff!

I am not a tea person but I would love to try that also. They said that it is a good anti-oxidant.
