Summer is officially here, which means it's time to dress up in stylish clothes, eat a lot of ice cream, and drink as many drinks as you want without worrying about catching a cold. However, it's not all fun and games because summers can also carry with them a slew of challenges. Difficulties with digestion and boating are two of the most common problems in the summer. Bloating difficulties, such as gas, sour belching, stomach pain, stomach cramps, acidity, and so on, are quite prevalent in the summer. And if you have anything else after this, the condition can get even worse.
Do you also often suffer from such problems like bloating and acidity? If yes, some summer drinks can help you with these issues.
Ayurvedic Dr. Dixa Bhavsar has shared some information related to this on her Instagram account. Here is what she says through her Instagram post:
Hot summer days are back in India and so are bloating & discomfort in abdomen. If you're someone who feels heavy post meals or suffers from bloating & acidity every now & then, then this drink is for you.
