JAKARTA - The fatigue and decrease in energy that often appears in the afternoon are common, especially after activities in the morning and after lunch. Many people rely on coffee or tea as an energy increase, but not all bodies respond well to caffeine.

Alternatively, there are various choices of natural drinks that can help restore focus and energy without triggering excessive energy spikes or sleep disturbances.

Quoted from the Hindustan Times, Dr. Sweta Himatsingka, a nutritionist and health trainer from India, explains that keeping the body hydrated correctly is very important to support energy and vigilance, especially during activities during the day to evening.

"Hidration is not just drinking water. Electronics and essential minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium have a big role in maintaining brain function and body energy," said Dr. Sweta.

He added that losing about 1 3 percent of body fluids can have an impact on memory, concentration, and vigilance. In the elderly, early symptoms of dehydration such as confusion, sleepiness, and irritation are often not realized.

The following are five types of drinks recommended by nutritionists as a healthy alternative to increase energy and focus without relying on caffeine:

A mixture of cold coconut water with cucumber slices, mint leaves, and lemon juice can be a natural source of electrolyte. This drink refreshes and helps maintain clearness of mind and raise vigilance.

Simple solution from a glass of water, 1 glass of fresh lemon juice, 1 shot4 tablespoons of salt, and two tablespoons of honey can be an effective choice to refill electrolytes and provide natural antioxidants for the body.

Smoothing 23 carrots with about 150 ml of water and a little salt and filtering them will produce mineral-rich juices such as sodium and potassium. These drinks help hydrate the body and increase energy naturally.

This dairy fermented drink is rich in calcium, vitamin B, and protein. Buttermilk is not only good for digestion, but also helps maintain the focus and endurance during long working hours.

For those who need rapid hydration, the solution of powder electrolytes dissolved in water can be a practical solution. This drink helps balance body fluids and overcome muscle fatigue that often appears after working all day.
