Why hydration is essential, especially in summer
The human body is made up of about 60% water, and proper hydration is essential to regulate body temperature, maintain an efficient metabolism, and ensure the optimal functioning of organs and muscles.
In summer, fluid loss through sweating can increase up to 2–3 liters per day even in sedentary conditions, and even more if you exercise or live in hot and humid environments.
💡 Scientific data: according to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), insufficient hydration can reduce cognitive and physical performance by up to 20%, causing fatigue, headaches, and difficulty concentrating.
Why cold infusions are the smart choice
While many choose sugary or carbonated drinks to quench their thirst, these beverages often provide empty calories, glycemic spikes, and artificial ingredients that, in the long term, do not promote well-being.
Cold infusions are a natural, tasty, and functional alternative for proper hydration, even when the temperature rises.
Main advantages of cold infusions:
-
Zero added sugars (unless voluntarily sweetened)
-
Caffeine-free (or with natural caffeine, depending on the blend)
-
Rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients
-
Easily customizable with fresh fruit or aromatic herbs
-
Refreshing and pleasant to drink throughout the day
Cold infusions vs. other drinks: the comparison
| Drink | Hydration | Calories | Additional benefits | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cold infusions | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 0–5 | Antioxidants, minerals, natural flavors | None if high quality |
| Water | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 0 | Essential for hydration | Less taste |
| Carbonated drinks | ⭐ | 80–150 | None significant | Sugars, additives |
| Energy drinks | ⭐⭐ | 40–120 | Short energy boost | Glycemic spikes, nervousness |
| Industrial juices | ⭐⭐ | 90–120 | Vitamins (if natural) | Concentrated sugars |
💧 Cold infusions not only hydrate as much as water but also offer phytocompounds and micronutrients that help combat oxidative stress and support overall well-being.
The secret to summer hydration: drink well, not just a lot
Hydrating doesn't just mean drinking liquids; it also means choosing drinks that help the body maintain proper electrolyte balance and are free of substances that can overload the metabolism (like refined sugars or chemical additives).
Cold infusions have the ability to encourage people to drink more thanks to their pleasant taste, and this is crucial: when water "has no taste," many people tend to drink less than necessary.
Tereré: tradition and freshness
Tereré is the cold version of Yerba Mate, a traditional South American drink, consumed with fresh or iced water. It not only quenches thirst but also supports energy and concentration even in hot weather, thanks to its content of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.
Today, the concept of Tereré has evolved into modern, tasty, and universally appealing cold infusions.
