How to Keep the Electrolytes Balance in Summers?

-



In hot summers of Lahore, keeping yourself hydrated will save you from electrolyte imbalance and fatigue. While water is essential, it's not always enough especially when temperature soars up to 40 degrees and above. Electrolytes and minerals lost through sweat need to be replenished on time. Consider incorporating these electrolytes-rich drinks or foods into your hydration routine to maintain a proper electrolyte balance. Following is the list of must have drinks and foods this summer.


1. Coconut Water

Easily available in most areas, coconut water is a natural source of electrolytes like potassium and sodium. Drink it plain or blend with pineapple chunks etc. to make rejuvenating smoothies in hot summers.

2. Lassi

A traditional yogurt-based drink, lassi is rich in calcium and potassium. You can also add a pinch of salt for extra electrolytes.


3. Fresh Fruits

Fruits like water melon, melon, bananas, mangoes, and oranges are high in potassium and other essential electrolytes. They’re also refreshing and hydrating.


4. Shikanjabeen

This lemonade-like drink made with lemon juice, water, sugar, and a pinch of kala namak/salt is a popular choice during hot weather. It helps replenish lost electrolytes.


5. Electrolyte Powders

Available at pharmacies, electrolyte powders like ORS, can be mixed with water to create a hydrating drink. Look for ones with balanced electrolytes and low sugar content.


6. Salty Snacks

Snacks like roasted chickpeas (Chana), salted peanuts, or homemade trail mix with nuts and seeds can provide a boost of electrolytes.


7. Yogurt

Enjoy plain yogurt or incorporate it into savory dishes like raita or salad (yogurt mixed with chopped vegetables/cucumbers and spices) to increase your intake of calcium and potassium.
