Toxicologist Mikhail Kutushov: hot drinks – green, ginger and herbal teas – are good for drinking in hot weather.
Toxicologist Kutushov said that some hot drinks are not only appropriate in hot weather, but also bring benefits to the body.
“Hot drinks stimulate sweating, and the body cools down naturally: sweat evaporates, blood vessels expand, which improves blood circulation and promotes the outflow of heat from the internal organs,” the doctor explained his idea to the Doctor Peter publication.
Kutushov named hot green tea as one of the healthiest drinks in the heat: it is the richest source of antioxidants that protect the body from the development of dangerous pathologies, including cancer.
The expert also advised drinking ginger tea, this drink has the ability to strengthen the immune system.
In addition, herbal teas based on lemon balm or chamomile are useful: they have a calming effect, helping to better cope with everyday stress and sleep well.
Drinking very hot drinks is dangerous! Drinks that burn the mucous tissue of the digestive tract can affect the occurrence of tumors. When pouring a hot drink into a cup, always let it cool down a little. All drinks consumed should not exceed 60 degrees (Celsius).
