India is currently experiencing intense heatwave conditions, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasting their continuation. To help combat the heat, the AYUSH Ministry has recommended five cooling drinks that can be easily incorporated into daily routines. Chaas, or buttermilk, is a traditional favorite, made by diluting curd with water and seasoning it with salt and spices. It aids digestion and replenishes lost salts. Sattu drink, made from roasted Bengal gram flour, is high in protein and helps keep energy levels stable while lowering body heat. Coconut water is another excellent choice, rich in electrolytes such as potassium and magnesium, making it a natural hydrator. Fresh fruit juices, including those from oranges and watermelon, are not only refreshing but also packed with vitamins and antioxidants. Lastly, nimbu pani, or lemonade, combines lemon juice with water and salt, promoting digestion and electrolyte balance. These drinks not only provide relief from the heat but also contribute to overall health during the sweltering summer months.
