As you know, you should drink as much clean water as possible on hot summer days. But you can diversify your menu with another drink that will also be beneficial in such weather.

We are talking about tomato juice.

Rehabilitation specialist Sergei Agapkin and cardiologist Alfred Bogdanov spoke about this in more detail in the show “About the Most Important Thing”.

They noted that the whole point is that the drink contains table salt.

Experts reminded that salt is a harmful product, but when it comes to hot days, the situation changes.

The thing is that juice not only quenches thirst, but also replenishes the loss of electrolytes.

Agapkin also noted the benefits of mineral water. This option is suitable for those who cannot force themselves to drink plain water.

In summer, as doctors emphasized, you can add a few mint leaves to the water, which improves the drink and causes cooling. In addition, mint contains many useful essential oils.
