Water
People most often forget to drink the most important drink in the world - water. Water is the most important drink for the body and you cannot replace it completely with any other beverage.

Lemon Juice
Although you certainly already know, let's remind ourselves how healthy lemon juice is. Lemon juice is a powerful and healthy drink that brings many benefits to our body. And it’s easy. Just 2 tablespoons stirred into a glass of water adds 14mg vitamin C! You can also drink lemon water like regular water and stay hydrated. Lemon juice can help you lose weight, reduce the risk of heart disease, anemia, kidney stones and more. One regular-sized lemon contains 50mg of vitamin C. Juicing two lemons to warm water and drinking it in the morning is the great booster for your help.
Kombucha
Kombucha is a great drink, like other healthy fermented foods, that promote healthy bacteria in the gut. Healthy bacteria help to aid in digestion and in the absorption of vitamins and minerals. As kombucha contains antioxidants, it can kill harmful bacteria in your body. But, don’t overdrink it. One kombucha a day can provide you with healthy gut flora.
Coconut Water
You may have seen how bloggers around the world adore drinking coconut water and post tons of pictures on social media. The truth is, the flavor of this tropical drink doesn’t fit everyone’s taste. But drinking coconut water can help you to hydrate the body and provide a big amount of potassium. Potassium helps in maintaining a healthy heartbeat and regulating blood pressure. Although drinking coconut water is safe for most adults, drinking too much can cause stomach upset or an increasing level of potassium in the blood.
