How to add a new drink type in the WaterMinder App?
Every day, we consume a wide range of liquids to keep ourselves hydrated. The WaterMinder app gives you the option of adding different drink types to track your hydration levels. While water is the primary choice for hydration, several other liquids can contribute to maintaining adequate hydration levels. Sometimes we tend to get bored with drinking water and want a change of taste. That is where alternatives like beverages, natural juices, electrolyte solutions, etc. come in.
Best liquids to hydrate your body
To increase hydration levels in the body, it’s important to consume fluids that effectively replenish water and electrolytes. Here is an exciting list of liquids that you can have to feel hydrated and energetic.
Electrolyte solutions
These include liquids designed specifically to replace electrolytes lost through perspiration, like sports drinks or oral rehydration products. They have sodium, potassium, and magnesium electrolytes, which help the body absorb and retain fluid.
Coconut water
Pure coconut water is a natural electrolyte powerhouse that can replenish lost fluids and vital minerals. It is very beneficial after a rigorous session of physical activity or in a hot climate.
Herbal tea
Some herbal teas, such as chamomile, peppermint, or ginger tea, can help you stay hydrated. It’s crucial to keep in mind that some herbal teas have diuretic qualities, which means they might have a slight dehydrating effect.
Vegetable juices
Juices from freshly squeezed vegetables, like celery or cucumber, contain water in addition to vital nutrients. They can hydrate you while also benefiting your health in other ways.
Milk
Almond or soy milk are examples of plant-based milk substitutes that can help with hydration. They are made up of water, electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals like calcium and D.
Fruit juices
Although fruit juices have a lot of natural sugars, they also have a lot of water in them. You should choose freshly squeezed juices without added sugar and consume them sparingly.
Smoothies
When fruits and vegetables are blended with water or milk, a hydrating and wholesome beverage is produced. Electrolytes, vitamins, and fluids can all be found in smoothies.
