Boticaria García, a well-known health educator and nutritionist, has delivered a message that hasn't gone unnoticed among her followers. At 43 years old, the expert has wanted to share simple suggestions that combine freshness, health, and flavor, ideal for the hottest days of the year. In her latest video, she has encouraged people to try a series of drinks that not only refresh but also provide specific benefits to the body.
This time, the nutritionist has emphasized that there is an alternative that fulfills a dual purpose. According to her own words, "it hydrates you while taking care of you," thus highlighting its ability to protect the intestinal microbiota while helping to replenish lost fluids. This product is kefir, a fermented drink similar to liquid yogurt that is gaining more and more followers due to its probiotic properties.
Refreshing drinks for a healthier summer
However, kefir hasn't been the only option the expert has mentioned in her review. Boticaria García has also reminded people that summer is an opportunity to rediscover classics like gazpacho, which, in addition to being refreshing, is a very rich source of vitamins. In her own words, the key is to check that packaged products contain a high percentage of vegetables, above 90%, to ensure their nutritional quality.
Another suggestion has been tea with lemon and mint, which, in addition to hydrating, has a significant antioxidant effect. The expert has stressed that this mixture not only acts as a barrier against the effects of the sun but also promotes digestion by relieving discomfort such as bloating or heartburn. Its richness in vitamin C also makes it a natural ally to strengthen the immune system.
The list continues with sparkling water with a touch of lemon and ice, which can be a great alternative to sugary soft drinks. Along the same lines, García has highlighted iced coffee as a summer drink, even better if sugar is replaced with cinnamon. These are simple options, easy to prepare, and offer a refreshing break in the middle of the daily routine.
More healthy drinks to keep you hydrated easily and deliciously
In addition to these five recommendations, there are other homemade drinks that are also healthy. Fruit smoothies, for example, can be prepared in just a few minutes with seasonal ingredients like mango or melon. By adding yogurt, plant-based milk, or even oats, they become a very complete option for any time of day.
Similarly, lemonade, with water, lemon, and a natural sweetener, is even more enjoyable if you add spearmint. With all these suggestions, Boticaria García has wanted to make it clear that hydration can be varied and pleasant, moving away from monotony and adding health benefits.
