With summer, the urge to staying active revives every year. Everyday you skip the lift and take the stairs as a workout routine at your office. You avoid oily, fatty fast-food which you otherwise would have devoured without any question had this been winters. You like to look and feel fit so you skip the junk food, good enough! Yes, we all do that in summers. However, do not skip on water and coolers. It is important to keep your water levels up and your body hydrated. It not only keeps your body cool but your mind too. Here are 10 coolers every Indian swears by in summers to keep them cool.
1. Lassi
