2.Coconut water
Take a green coconut, dig a hole and fit in your straw after which you can gulp down the salty coconut water which is rich in electrolytes and potassium along with many other benefits. Well, if you are fond of good old days and also a bit lazy in terms of preparing drinks for yourself, this is the best option.
You can also go for coconut milk, which is equally delicious but it has high-fat content compared to coconut water and might not be a perfect fit for someone going under weight loss.

4.Buttermilk
Milk is churned and stirred to get by-products such as buttermilk which is not only tasty but has the power to make our intestines chilled in this nasty summer. It also helps to wash down fats and if you feel bloated after eating something heavy, just take a glassful of buttermilk and you’ll be good as new in no time.
