Hi, i drink cola too and i love lemon soda...Panna is prepared by boiling the semi ripe whole mangoes in water and then filter the drink and add jaggery and rock salt to it. It is then cooled either in the fridge or kept in an earthenware pot to cool. This is a delicious drink that most Indians make during summer months..

Thanks Kiran for sharing some information about Panna. That could be a good healthy drink indeed. Speaking of mangoes, I just came to mind that fruits are good sources of Vit. C. Mangoes do have it, but some people say that the more sour the mango is the more Vitamins it contains. What do you thinks of this idea Kiran. What are other delicacies that can be made using mangoes not to mention of course mango pies. Thanks for responding.

Very interesting drink you have there kiran, sugarcane juice and buttermilk. I can't wait to have a taste of that. What is it called Kiran? What about Panna, how will you prepare it, what are the major ingredients of it. Do you drink cola or soda too? If not why are not drinking it?. Thanks for you response

I was told by my doctor that we don't realize how much water we lose in a day. It's best to keep drinking to always keep your body hydrated. I try to drink as much water as possible just for this reason. I've known people who have gotten terrible headaches as a result of dehydration.

I'm no doctor but I believe that you can die as a result of that - it's another way of losing water and you can become severely dehydrated. If you're experiencing something or know someone who is, you should definitely see a doctor!

Besides quenching our thirst, water is very important to our body, why is this so? what can water do to our body. Can you share so0me ideas Deejean why we need to drink lots of water specially during hot weather. Thanks for your response.

Hi again!Tender coconut water has delicious taste and is very nutritious too besides quenching thirst and rehydrating the body.It promotes proper digestion , clears the urinary tract and lubricates the body system.It is low in fats but contains many vitamins and is high in minerals like potassium ,chloride ,calcium and magnesium.It is also rich in antioxidants.It has positive effect on cholestro and prevents artherosclerosis.The list of its benefits is endless.I think it is rightly called 'the water of life'. Buttermilk in India traditionally is the left over liquid after the butter has been churned from the curd and sometimes diluter.Flavours can be given by adding ginger or cumin seeds.It is delicious and healthy and low in calories too as the butter has been removed.It has all the benefits of milk with low calories and much easily digestible than milk as it is a fermented product.

You mentioned about atherosclerosis and cholesterol, what are they? can you share some thoughts about the two. How can we prevent them and what certain treatments are used to relieve a person suffering from these diseases. Thanks for your response.

Those are truly refreshing drinks, can't wait to try them too. Speaking of coconuts, it is considered as a tree of life because of its many uses, what benefits can we get when we drink coconut water, can you share also what mineral and vitamins we can have drinking it. I was wondering what are the ingredients in making buttermilk is it just butter and milk alone? How are you going to prepare making buttermilk Pickwick. thanks for the response

Wow, thats a great concoction you have there. Can your give us some idea what fennel seeds are, Jamin?. It is my first time to hear some kind of drink like that. Why do you think cola drinks are not good for us to drink, yet so many people like and really love to drink soda. Did you ever tried to drink cola drinks before? If yes, why did you quit drinking such. Thanks for your response.

Interesting indeed Jamin, cola drinks are only rich in calories which are readily absorbed by the body. But they are just empty calories, they really dont last long and cannot really quench your thirst. The seeds you mentioned are quite interesting, as you ahve mentioned they are very nutritious and has good health effects. Are they used for medicines too, Jamin. Do they have some ingredients that can really help in treating some diseases. What are the other uses of these seeds. Where exactly in India can we find it. Thanks for your response.

Fennel is a type of spice in India and its seeds are used as mouth freshener or in cooking. It has great nutritional value. You can read the details through this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fennel. You asked me why do you think Soda is not good for us. Do any of the cold drinks contain such high nutritional contents. It just relieves you of thirst and has great taste. But it does not cool your body from inside. If instead of cold drinks you drink drinks prepared from fennel seed, you get high nutrition, your body gets cool from within, it also cures many diseases. I used to drink cold drinks earlier, but then I realized it is completely useless for my body, so I gave it up. I now drink such healthy drinks. For the drink you should take 4 teaspoon fennel seeds( also known as variyali in India) and 3-4 blocks of Rock Sugar and deep it in 3 glass of water.
