WHY PREFER WATER OVER COFFEE<\/h2>\n\n

It seems like an eternal debate: is water better than caffeinated drinks such as coffee and tea? <\/strong>Some health gurus claim that coffee and tea dehydrate you. <\/strong>They advocate drinking several liters of water per day. <\/strong>But what is true about this? We went to investigate!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

It is often said that caffeinated drinks would dry you out. However, no evidence for this has yet been found. It is true that by taking caffeine you separate more urine, but this does not outweigh the hydration benefits of the water in the drinks themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another reason why coffee and tea are associated with dehydration is because of the dry mouth you get after drinking it. This is due to the tannins that these drinks contain. And although this substance gives a dry mouth \u2013 and with it the feeling of dehydration \u2013 no research has yet been found between drinking caffeinated beverages and dehydration. So it is only \u201ca dry mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Caffeinated drinks such as coffee and tea are not associated with dehydration. However, with other health complaints such as stomach complaints, increased heart rate and insomnia.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

TOO MUCH COFFEE AND TEA <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

But that does not mean that drinking coffee and tea all day long is healthy. A (high) coffee and tea consumption can cause other health problems, such as: stomach upset, heartburn, restlessness, increased anxiety or nervousness, insomnia and an increased heartbeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that sense, it is certainly desirable to limit your coffee and tea consumption and to supplement your fluid intake with water! And preferably with tap water and not with spring water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
