hello Natural medicine Lovers, The weather today is very sunny, the sun is shining brightly, the wind seems to stop blowing, until it burns the skin. I just came home from work riding a motorcycle (you can imagine how the skin burns) in a very hot weather (around 35 degrees Celsius), the fullface helmet I was wearing couldn't protect my head from the hot sun, my head felt dizzy with the heat burst inside my brain cells, I seem to be getting dehydrated. Several times I stopped the motorcycle to drink water that I brought as a provision on the trip. But water alone is not able to relieve the thirst and heat that burns my skin.
I immediately started the motorbike and hoped to get home soon, I had to drink something to relieve dehydration. Along the way I saw a lot of fresh ice sellers, but I didn't dare to buy ice anywhere, because usually the sellers use artificial sweeteners/sugar juice to sweeten the fresh drinks they sell, I tried not to be tempted. I will make myself a fresh drink to relieve dehydration.
On the way home, I stopped at my friend's house to ask for young coconuts.
I also stopped at a shop near my house to buy cucumber and lime.
Why do I choose cucumber, young coconut and lime to get rid of dehydration?
Based on data sourced from https://hellosehat.com/nutrisi/fakta-gizi/manfaat-timun/?amp=1
In 100 grams of fresh cucumber there are a number of nutrients as follows:
Calories: 8 cal
Water: 97.9 gr
Carbohydrates: 1.4 g
Fiber: 0.3 gr
Calcium: 29 mg
Phosphorus: 95 gr
Potassium: 57.1 mg
Beta carotene: 314 mcg
Folate: 7 mcg
Vitamin C: 1 mg
Vitamin K: 16.4 mcg
The main content of cucumber is water and a number of vitamin C, fiber and also beta-carotene compounds which are useful for counteracting free radicals that will enter the body. That's why I chose cucumber for fresh drinks, cucumber is one of the fresh fruits that can eliminate dehydration.
while in 250 mL young coconut water contains several nutrients such as Calories: 45.6 cal

Young coconut water, rich in minerals such as calcium, iron,potassium, sodium which is useful as an electrolyte solution that can help eliminate the dehydration of our body.
I added lime because its vitamin C content can help increase endurance and also give a fresh taste sensation to the drink.
The ingredients that I use to make fresh drinks that work to overcome dehydration are :
1 cucumber (300 grams)
1 young coconut
2 limes
1.5 Liter ice water
PREPARATION
First I will split the young coconut to take water and young coconut flesh (can't wait to enjoy it)😂😂😂 put it in a glass or bowl, Fresh young coconut is ready to be processed into a fresh drink.
Next I will grate the cucumber (the grated cucumber will give a fresh sensation because the water content in the cucumber will mix with the ice water), remember we have to grate it to maintain the fresh taste of the cucumber.
I make this refreshing drink in the garden, while watching my chickens trying to annoy😂😂😂
How to make
1.Put the grated cucumber into a bowl filled with ice water.
2.Put the young coconut water and soft meat into a bowl filled with ice water and grated cucumber.
3.Cut the lime into two parts, squeeze the water, add the lime juice and the squeezed lime fruit into a bowl filled with ice water, stir all ingredients until everything is mixed.
I immediately finished a large glass of fresh drink that can overcome my dehydration.
good luck trying delicious drink recipes, rich in antioxidants and anti-dehydration🥰🥰🥰
