These are easy fluids you can consume to help avoid dehydration.
1 Tender coconut water is the best natural drink to keep your body's hydration levels in check. Rich in potassium, it provides optimum hydration.
2 Homemade buttermilk, which is plain yogurt diluted with cool water, and spiked with finely chopped corriander leaves, cumin seeds, a dash of salt and black pepper. It aids digestion and keeps your body cool.
3 2-3 cups of green tea is essential, as it fosters the immune system and helps keep away illnesses during fasting.
4 Kokum (Garcinia indica) juice with black pepper is a drink rich in antioxidants, and is thus good to consume for general good health.
