In case you want to be a little spoilt for choice, here’s a little inspiration from B-town on how to take your #drinkinggame up a notch.
Akshay Kumar quenches his thirst with coconut water
One of the most nourishing ways to hydrate is by drinking coconut water. Coconut water has multiple benefits, including aiding in healthier skin and hair. Akshay Kumar, who prides himself on his healthy eating habits, also makes sure to keep cool by hydrating amply. Akshay’s wife Twinkle Khanna recently shared a photo of him buying coconut water from a roadside vendor. Many other celebrities - like Priyanka Chopra, Mandira Bedi and Madhuri Dixit - also take to their social media pages from time to time to encourage their fans and followers to hydrate with coconut water. It’s safe to assume that coconut water has become a summer favourite among many celebrities to hydrate with, this summer.
It’s coffee-o-clock for Varun Dhawan
Coffee seems to be the go-to drink for Varun Dhawan, as he braces himself against the soaring temperature of Mumbai. Varun’s recent Instagram post featured him sipping his favourite cup of coffee, encouraging netizens to pause everything they are doing, and hydrate with a coffee first. He captioned the post, ‘go get it, but first get some coffee.’ Varun was also recently in the news for sharing his cup of coffee with the shutterbugs, who were busy clicking the actor’s pictures as he made it to his car, after his shoot, in Mumbai. The actor frequently puts up stories of his love for coffee on his Instagram handle and enjoys brewing a mug for himself, once in a while.
For everyone who enjoys a cup of java, there are a myriad of options ranging from hot to cold and sweet to bitter that one can choose from, according to their liking. The recent coffee trends include Dalgona coffee, cold brews and plant based vegan coffee. Instagrammers and digital content creators can often be found giving unique recipes for these coffee trends. A healthier substitute for sugar in your coffee can be honey, jaggery and coconut sugar. Interestingly, newer studies show that coffee has huge health benefits too.
