Bored with regular water as you hydrate? Make hydration more exciting and beneficial with water therapy shots.

Hydration is non-negotiable when it comes to overall health benefits. But plain water alone adds no extra nutrients to the body. It can be further elevated, bolstering the benefits even more with the help of other nutrient-rich natural ingredients. Alka Phutela, a dietician as described by her IG bio, shared how natural ingredients like fruits, spices, herbs, and vegetables when infused in water to make these water shots, can target several health concerns.

Alka inserted a clip of Malaika Arora in the video, where the actor was talking about water therapy shots and the various shots she takes like- turmeric shots, cumin shots and so on.

Alka shared some water shots and their benefits that may enhance beauty. They can be changed based on seasonal requirements. These are the shots:

Aloe vera, lemon, rose shot

Alka recommended aloe vera, lemon, and rose shot for glowing skin. This also helps make the skin appear supple and soft, giving a youthful appearance.

Aloe Vera is anyway a skin-friendly plant, that can be found in various skincare products too, so why not add it to diet?

Turmeric shot

The second water shot she suggested was a turmeric shot. She revealed that turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties. It helps remove radicals from body and improves digestion.

Green vegetable juice

For the third drink, she suggested green veggies' juice. The chlorophyll does wonders for the skin. She called it a ‘magical remedy.’ This not only benefits skin health but also nails and hair quality.

    ABOUT THE AUTHOR
    Adrija Dey

    Adrija Dey’s proclivity for observation fuels her storytelling instinct. As a lifestyle journalist, she crafts compelling, relatable narratives across diverse touchpoints of the human experience, including wellness, mental health, relationships, interior design, home decor, food, travel, and fashion that gently nudge readers toward living a little better. For her, stories exist in flesh and bones, carried by human vessels and shaped through everyday endeavours. It is the small stories we live and share that make us human. After all, humans and their lores are the most natural and raw repositories of stories, and uncovering them, for her, is akin to peeling an orange under a winter afternoon sun. Always up for a chat, she believes the best stories come from unfiltered yapping, where "too much information" is kind of the point. A graduate of Indraprastha College for Women, University of Delhi, and an alumna of the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC), Delhi, Adrija spends her idle hours cocooned with herbal tea and a gripping thriller, scribbling inner monologues she loosely calls poetic pieces, often with her succulents in attendance. On lazier days, she can be found binge-watching, for the nth time, one from her comfort-show holy trinity: The Office (US), Brooklyn Nine-Nine, or Modern Family. Dancing by herself to her peppy playlists, however, is an everyday ritual she swears by religiously.Read More
