Holi 2026: The festival of Holi will be celebrated this year on 4 March 2026. This festival falls every year in the month of Phalgun. Holi is celebrated with colors and gulal. Whenever a festival comes, it brings happiness with it. But if some things are not taken care of, it can spoil our health. Actually, people get so engrossed in playing Holi that they do not even think about dehydration.
Water is most important for our body because sunlight and colors reduce the water level of our body. Today we will tell you about some healthy drinks which you can try during Holi.

This will also give you freshness and remove water deficiency from the body. This drink also removes acidity and is good for the kidneys. This means you can also enjoy your favorite snacks during Holi.
2.Coconut water- Coconut water also helps in keeping hydrated. You can drink it just like that. It supplies electrolytes in our body. If you want to make a fusion drink from it, you can add some black salt and mint leaves to coconut water. This will make the drink even more refreshing.

By drinking 1-2 glasses of lemon water while playing Holi, there will be no shortage of water in your body. Making this drink is quite easy. For this, mix water, lemon and rock salt together. If you drink sweet lemon water, you can add honey instead of sugar.
4.Buttermilk- To avoid dehydration on Holi, you can also consume buttermilk. To make this, you have to prepare a thin drink by mixing curd with water. Grind some black salt, mint and coriander leaves and mix it. After this add roasted cumin powder in it. Drinking this also improves digestion.
