5 drinks to avoid when the weather is 40 degrees Celsius
Drinks like soft drinks, beer... can make you feel "thirsty" for a few minutes, but in fact make your body more dehydrated.

| Carbonated soft drinks:The high sugar content in carbonated soft drinks not only has long-term health effects, but also has a direct impact on the body's dehydration. When you are thirsty and drink soft drinks, you may feel more refreshed, but too much sugar in the blood makes the body work harder to stabilize, stimulating the brain to send signals that increase your feeling of thirst.

| Alcoholic beverages:A cold beer or cocktail may sound like the perfect solution for a hot afternoon or evening. However, the alcohol in these drinks tends to make your body urinate more, making you feel even more thirsty and tired. Photo:Istock. |

| Coffee:Caffeine also stimulates the body to excrete urine and makes your dehydration worse on hot days. In particular, if you are not used to drinking coffee, you should not use this drink on hot days, because the body will have difficulty adapting and can make you more easily drunk from coffee.

| Bottled fruit juice:Fruit juice may seem like a more sensible option. In fact, it’s also loaded with sugar and won’t quench your thirst. Likewise, store-bought fruit smoothies are often loaded with condensed milk and sugar. If you’re really thirsty, ask for less sugar and milk in your smoothie. Photo:Framepool. |

| Water too cold:Water that is too cold actually does not “cool” the body down more than cool water, but instead causes blood vessels to constrict, making digestion difficult and water absorption into the body slower. At the same time, due to the large temperature difference, the body will have to spend energy to balance, making you feel more tired. Photo:Livestrong. |

| Therefore, to dispel the feeling of heat and replenish the body with water, you can drink cool filtered water or water with a few slices of fruit such as lemon, apple, kiwi..., which is both delicious and good for your health. Photo:EzeBreezy. |
