Celebrity nutritionist Nikita Garg cautioned against the widespread daily consumption of commercial electrolyte drinks that contain added sugars and artificial additives.
Garg noted that physical symptoms like fatigue and headaches often stem from electrolyte depletion due to chronic dehydration and urban lifestyles.
The expert recommended traditional Indian alternatives such as buttermilk with roasted cumin, tender coconut water, and lemon water with pink salt over packaged products.
