Lahori Jeera is a perfect healthy low-sugar summer drink that you can try to combat the heat and can also add to your weight-loss diet.
One of the most important factors during the summer is to keep ourselves hydrated and healthy. As the mercury level rises, it is quite common to get a heatstroke or have parched lips. During this season, dehydration becomes a common issue as our body tends to lose water at a higher pace due to sweating, especially when you are working out. This leads to numerous health problems like weakness, feeling lethargic, tiredness, and overall discomfort. While drinking water is the solution, let’s accept it, sometimes plain water can be very boring. In such instances, homemade drinks can be the best way to keep you hydrated.
