Cardiologist Alfred Bogdanov called tomato juice one of the most beneficial drinks for the body in the heat.
Cardiologist Bogdanov noted that tomato juice helps in the heat replenish electrolytes that are actively leaving the body with sweating. Electrolytes are ionic solutions (salts) of minerals that it is important for the body to receive in sufficient quantities. These substances support healthy nerve and muscle function, as well as provide hydration, which helps the body to get rid of toxins more efficiently.
One of the electrolytes is sodium. Cardiologist Bogdanov recalled that tomato juice contains salt. Getting it in the heat allows you to maintain sodium levels, which can be significantly reduced in the body in hot weather. This is the special benefit of tomato juice at high summer temperatures, the doctor believes.

“We talk all the time about how salt is evil and bad, but in a situation where we are struggling with the heat, the loss of electrolytes becomes a problem for us. Salt in tomato juice will help replenish it, and the drink itself quenches thirst well,” said cardiologist Alfred Bogdanov.
In turn, rehabilitation specialist Sergei Agapkin recommended drinking mineral water to replenish electrolytes in hot summer.
