What to drink in summer to hydrate while quenching your thirst with a pleasant, alcohol-free, sugar-free, calorie-free drink? Well plants, of course! If hot infusion is the only option that comes to mind, know that you can also prepare your herbal summer drinks in the form of hydrosols or macerations, which are much more refreshing! Caroline Gayet, herbalist and phytotherapist, gives you her 6 favorite recipes!

Summer is here with its barbecues, aperitifs on the terrace, its melon and its peaches, its sunbathing on the beach or on the balcony! But above all: it’s hot! The question of hydration is therefore crucial.

Water is the symbol of life. Without it, no organism can survive. Water dials near 37% of our body and serves as a vehicle for all cellular information. It hydrates all our tissues, cartilage, muscles, tendons, menisci, skin, brain, organs and viscera.

Good hydration allows us to avoid headaches, constipation and dry mucous membranes. It also allows the proper functioning of the biochemical reactions of our body as well as the drainage of our toxins and metabolic waste via the kidneys and the formation of urine.

In summer, the mechanisms of perspiration and perspiration (the “invisible” and permanent perspiration, which is done without apparent sweating) cause a much greater quantity of water to evaporate from our body than in winter, which must be compensated for by s hydrating more.

Light and bad drinkers

The concern is that some are light drinkers: by not drinking not enough, they concentrate their urine and expose themselves to an increased risk of urinary tract infection.

There are still those who don’t like water… and go s hydrate by drinking juices, smoothies, sodas, glasses of rosé or a nice cold beer. Of course, it is possible to drink it, but only in moderate frequency, because these drinks are far from being ideal for our health.

Finally, we have the problem of people elderly who, as they age, become “adypsic”, that is to say, they lose the feeling of thirst. They dehydrate more quickly, which can cause mental confusion, heat stroke and urinary tract infections.

There are then plants to make your own refreshing, healthy and delicious drinks. They give taste to water, stimulating hydration when it is lacking while providing always welcome therapeutic properties.

Nevertheless, I remind you that only water hydrates properly. Indeed, any herbal drink contains active ingredients that must be processed by the liver and eliminated by the kidneys, resulting in water loss. This is why it is said that all drinks, except water, are diuretic: they increase diuresis and make you lose more water than you bring in.

Consuming cold macerations of plants or hydrolats therefore does not dispense with drinking at least 22 cl to 1 L of water per day depending on your build, the weather, your intake, fruits and vegetables (as a reminder, fruits provide approximately 92% water and vegetables more than 60%), your physical activity and your health issues.

My top 6 cold macerations

Cold maceration simply consists of soaking aromatic plants in water in order to perfume. This may be what you are already doing with fresh mint leaves, organic lemon zest, slices of fresh ginger.

The advantage of maceration at cold compared to a hot water infusion, the extraction is more gentle. Very little tannin is extracted and the drink is much rounder in the mouth, less astringent than an infusion that you would have left to cool. Admittedly, we obtain fewer active ingredients… but the drink is much more thirst-quenching and tastes better!

Cold maceration lasts between fifteen minutes and overnight depending on the intensity the taste you want.

The 3 cold macerations with mint, lemon or ginger are timeless classics, but you can vary the pleasures by opting for other plants known for their thirst-quenching and refreshing action: hibiscus flowers, lemongrass and rosebuds.

Here are the virtues of all these summer plants:

1. The mint

   is digestive and its cold effect is undeniable, it is the refreshing plant par excellence, unbeatable!

2. Lemonis digestive for the liver and soothes any type of nausea.
3. Gingeris general tonic of the body and digestive.

Hibiscusis also a essential for its tangy freshness with an antihypertensive action for the heart.

Lemongrass, widely used in Asian cuisine, brings a touch of exoticism, supports digestion and quenches thirst.

The rose,sensual flower par excellence, is an ode to femininity, sensuality and love. It connects to the heart. Soothing, it reduces hypersensitivity, anxiety, bad mood.

It is from elsewhere quite possible to associate these plants together:

4. Lemongrass + lemon + ginger:

   for an exotic journey cheaper.

5. Rose + hibiscus: for a pink, girly drink to enjoy with friends!

Peppermint + hibiscus: it is the perfect match during heat waves to bring the body down in temperature.

Count each time about 2 to 3 tablespoons of plants per liter of water, to be adjusted according to your taste.

There are no precautions for use or drug interactions with these drinks, which may be drunk by young children or pregnant women.

Do not drink too much iced

Although it is hot and we are tempted to drink iced or very cold, it is not always a good habit for our stomach and our intestines.

In any case, avoid this practice while eating, because you would cut off the “digestive fire”: Agni, as the Indians call it in Ayurveda.

A one of the roles of the stomach is indeed to homogenize the temperatures of what we eat and drink. Your body requires much more energy to bring a liquid or food from 5°C (the average temperature of your refrigerator) to °C (your body temperature) only to lower it by 85°C (the temperature from which the mouth food or drink without burning yourself) at 37°C.

If you already have digestive disorders, do not add an extra one by drinking drinks that are too cold this summer.

Hydrosols and floral waters

A Another even simpler way to do yourself good with plants is to use hydrosols or floral waters.

First a little “definition” point: we uses the words hydrolats or floral waters interchangeably, wrongly. Normally, we speak of floral water when the distilled part is a flower: floral water of helichrysum, rose, orange blossom… And we speak of hydrosol for any other distilled part (twigs, leaves, bark): hydrolat of cypress, blackcurrant, cinnamon…

Finally, for the plants that are distilled, but which do not exist in the form of essential oil, we must normally speak of ‘” water of “. This is particularly the case with cornflower, witch hazel, calendula or lime blossom water.

These are liquids that result from the distillation of a part of plant. With only about 1% of the essential oil fraction and its inherent virtues, this distilled water remains therapeutic, but with great job security.

In addition, with hydrosols, you also open another dimension, more vibratory, since you connect to the very essence of the fully ripe, fresh plant that has been distilled. You therefore benefit from a physical action, but also an energetic, more subtle one. Whether or not you are initiated and receptive to these notions of energy, of subtle informational message, they pre-exist anyway and it is sometimes interesting to see the emotional changes that hydrosols provide.

My selection of the 5 best summer hydrosols

Here is my selection of the 5 best hydrolats for the summer:

1. Cassis : less tasty than the fruit since it is the blackcurrant leaves that are distilled and not the berries, nevertheless, it is a very pleasant hydrosol, useful if you suffer from heavy legs or locomotor pain during your summer hikes, as it has pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory and circulatory properties.
2. Cypress: great venous, lymphatic and prostate decongestant, it is the friend of those who have heavy legs or “post legs”, varicose veins , hemorrhoids, cellulite or men embarrassed by their prostate. Be careful, it is avoided in case of hormone-dependent cancer, because it is estrogen-like.
3. Orange blossom

   (also called neroli under form of floral water): precious and expensive in essential oil, it is on the other hand very affordable in floral water. Who hasn’t put orange blossom extract in a pancake batter, tasted the oriental pastries that use and abuse it or drank a tasty Lebanese white tea? Simply pour 1 teaspoon of floral water into a cup of hot water. The orange tree is calming, even sedative, anxiolytic in case of anguish, anxiety and/or depression. It reconciles with oneself, lets go of the sufferings that hurt our soul and heart, soothes emotional shocks, anxiety, fragility and invites more lightness and carelessness.

Melissa: you have probably heard of a famous old remedy: Carmelite lemon balm water, a soothing water for the head and stomach, calming and digestive, useful in case of gastroesophageal reflux, acid reflux and intestinal spasms. Lemony, it refreshes and quenches your thirst. It is a plant that brings joy back to the heart when it seems to have left us. As a precaution, do not abuse it in case of hypothyroidism and glaucoma.

4. Verbena: lemon like lemon balm and digestive like lemon balm and mints , verbena is a little gem in taste and for mood. Depressions, light depressions, heartaches, gloom will be swept away by the wind of freshness and optimism of verbena. Anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic of the viscera, it relieves menstrual pain and functional colopathy attacks. Attention, it is uterotonic so we avoid it in pregnant women.

The recommended dosage is one tablespoon per half liter of drink. These hydrosols can be added to the aforementioned cold macerations, depending on the virtue you are looking for.

With all these succulent alternatives, there is no excuse not to hydrate well this summer. Happy July to all and happy holidays to those who are leaving!

Carrying a bottle of water in the car to combat thirst, especially when it’s hot, is a gesture shared by many of us. Only, you have to be very careful not to leave it in the sun for hours. And for good reason, it can expose you to a risk for your health and to a consequent danger.

This information will surprise many but it could save your car. Never leave bottles of water or other drinks in the car in direct sunlight.

The danger of bottles in the car for your health

Scientists warn against leaving bottles containing liquids in cars exposed to sunlight, in fact exposure to the sun increases the volume of Bisphenol A contained in the bottles, a chemical which can present health risks.

Leaving a bottle of water in a car, why is it not recommended?

The water bottle acts as a lens that attracts the sun’s rays and this also applies to the soda. This phenomenon can occur on other flammable material (upholstery, carpets, clothing) and can become hot enough to potentially cause a fire in the car.

Interior of your car heats up not only quickly but this also the case for the objects which are in your automobile. Moreover, some of them can cause a fire that will damage the car. These are mainly glass objects exposed to the sun, such as bottles, glasses and other containers.

There is another reason why leaving a water bottle in your car is a bad idea. At high temperatures, bacteria and fungi quickly proliferate in it. It is therefore not recommended to drink it. Not to mention that after a few or several hours at high temperature, it changes taste.

High temperature in the car – Source: spm

It should be added that in summer , at a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, the temperature of the interior of the car can reach up to 52 degrees after one hour of exposure. At such high temperatures, bacteria multiply rapidly in the water and the water may become unfit for consumption.

Water should be kept at a maximum temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and protected against direct sunlight sun.

The car heats up very quickly in summer. 10 minutes of exposure at 26° are enough for her to exceed the 52 degrees degrees Celsius.

Our solution? Instead, opt for a stainless steel bottle to hydrate in the car in the summer

]]> Sustainability and ethical practices are becoming increasingly important to businesses, governments, and consumers. A sustainable supply chain is crucial to ensuring long-term success, and the ethical practices of suppliers and vendors are necessary to build a resilient and sustainable supply chain. This article will explore strategies for building resilient and ethical supply chains, including choosing suitable suppliers, monitoring supplier sustainability and performance, and collaborating with suppliers to drive sustainability.

Choosing the right suppliers

Choosing suitable suppliers is critical to building a resilient and ethical supply chain. When selecting suppliers, it is essential to consider their environmental practices, labor standards, and overall ethical standards. One way to ensure suppliers meet these standards is to audit their practices thoroughly. This audit should include an assessment of the supplier’s environmental impact, labor practices, and adherence to ethical standards. Companies can also use third-party auditing firms to ensure suppliers meet the necessary standards.

Another way to choose ethical suppliers is to look for suppliers committed to sustainability and ethical practices. Many suppliers now embrace sustainability as a core value and are willing to work with their customers to meet sustainability goals. For example, companies may look for suppliers that have implemented sustainable practices, such as using renewable energy or reducing waste, or have received sustainability certifications or ethical practices.

Monitoring supplier performance

Once suppliers have been chosen, it is crucial to monitor their performance regularly. Monitoring supplier performance helps companies ensure that suppliers meet the necessary standards and provides an opportunity to address any issues that may arise. One way to monitor supplier performance is to set clear indicators and regularly track progress toward those indicators. Performance indicators may include environmental impact, labor practices, and adherence to ethical standards.

Companies can also conduct regular site visits to suppliers to assess their performance firsthand. These site visits should include an assessment of the supplier’s compliance with the company’s sustainability and ethical standards and an assessment of the supplier’s performance in quality control, on-time delivery, and overall customer satisfaction.

Collaborating with suppliers to drive sustainability

Collaborating with suppliers is critical to building a sustainable and ethical supply chain. Suppliers are often the best source of information about their practices and can provide valuable insights into areas where improvements can be made. Companies should work closely with their suppliers to identify opportunities for sustainability improvements and develop a plan to address those opportunities.

One way to collaborate with suppliers is to engage them in sustainability initiatives. Companies can work with their suppliers to implement sustainability programs, such as recycling or waste reduction programs, or to adopt sustainable practices, such as using renewable energy or reducing emissions. Companies can also work with suppliers to implement sustainability reporting and tracking systems to monitor progress toward sustainability goals.

Another way to collaborate with suppliers is to build long-term relationships based on shared values. Companies committed to sustainability and ethical practices can work together to drive sustainability across the supply chain. This collaboration can include joint sustainability initiatives, sharing best practices, and collaboration on sustainability reporting and tracking.

Summing Up:

Building a resilient and ethical supply chain requires a commitment to sustainability and ethical practices and a willingness to work closely with suppliers. Companies that choose suitable suppliers, monitor supplier sustainability and performance, and collaborate with suppliers to drive sustainability can build supply chains that are resilient, ethical, and sustainable. In today’s increasingly competitive and socially conscious business environment, building a sustainable and ethical supply chain is the right thing to do and essential to long-term success.

]]> Finding genuine free dating sites can be a mine field of options for the uninitiated in the quest for a truly free online dating experience, and many people who are new to the Internet.
As the Internet is a constantly changing media, information that might have been relevant a few years, or even a few months ago, can suddenly be out of date in this dynamic medium. This applies especially in the world of online dating. Up until a few years ago it was rare to find dating sites being advertised as completely free, somewhere down the line, after signing up to the allege free dating site, members would be disappointed to find that they might have to pay to read a message that has been sent to their inbox, or pay or upgrade their membership to read, receive or send messages.

Some free dating sites are genuinely free to receive and send messages, but the quality of these sites might not be up to a satisfactory level, but many uninitiated to the world of online dating, might be impressed by the template of the site and see quite a lot of members signing up (possibly each day), and may not realise that a large part of the membership are not genuine at all, but simply created by the administrator of the site to give the impression of it being a busy site.

But it doesn’t stop there, there is a disturbing ploy used by certain free dating sites, where any genuine member that signs up, to their free dating site, suddenly has their inbox filled with messages from other members, claiming how much they would like to get together, the messages are allegedly from very pretty and handsome members, with the sole aim; getting the members to upgrade their membership via credit card or some other payment method to a premium membership, while unbeknownst to them those messages came from bots, pre-programmed scripts run by the administrator of the site to trick people into upgrading their membership.

Unfortunately it doesn’t end there, because once the unlucky member has upgraded to a premium membership, the chances of them cancelling the subscription even after cancelling their membership on the site is very low, as the required monthly subscription will be deducted from their credit card for the on going future regardless of how many times they ask for their membership to be cancelled, the only solution in such a scenario would be to contact their credit card company and ask for the card to be terminated or all subscription payments to the said site to be cancelled.

But the major problem of getting people to arrive at a free dating website, and continue to be a regular member at the dating site, is one of the most difficult obstacles facing an online dating site, or indeed any site for that matter, and many have attempted to solve this problem with paid searches in their attempt to obtain genuine, recurring members, and others have affiliate programs where affiliates are paid sometimes for each lead they generate, but this in itself has fueled false membership sign ups, where affiliates simply create profiles to get paid.

So in conclusion when judging a free dating site, communication over a period of time will aide in sorting out genuine members from false ones.
