Water is the most effective way to stay hydrated, but other beverages can also help. Coconut water is a natural electrolyte-rich drink that replenishes lost minerals. Buttermilk, infused with spices, is another traditional Indian option that cools the body. Avoid sugary sodas and caffeinated drinks, as they can lead to dehydration. Herbal teas and fresh fruit juices are also excellent choices for hydration.
