China has had the habit of drinking tea since ancient times. Drinking tea also has a good effect on health care. However, some people will replace water with tea in their daily life. How about drinking tea instead of water? In this article, let's take a look at the impact of drinking only tea and not tea.
Tea itself is brewed with water, so many friends who love tea use tea as a source of supplementary water. Even just tea, no water, is that really good?
In most cases, an adult needs 2500 ml of water every day, of which 600 ml can be obtained from food, and another 300 ml is produced in the process of human metabolism.
So there are only 1600 ml of water to drink. If a glass of water is 200 ml, this is what we often hear: drink 8 cups of water every day.
In addition to water, tea will also drink some of the ingredients contained in tea. Among them, 'caffeine', which we often hear, has a very important role called 'diuresis'.
In itself, this is a good thing. Caffeine can relax 'renal blood vessels', increase renal blood flow, enhance renal function and promote urine excretion.
But if you eat too much, the water loss in your body will accelerate. Imagine the problem you used to do when you were a child: in a swimming pool, a water pipe is filling in, but the other is draining. Naturally, the water level rises very slowly.
So sometimes we drink more tea and find it easy to be thirsty, and we go to the bathroom more often. This makes our intake of water not enough for normal needs.
We need to consciously drink pure water. We can't completely use tea instead of drinking water. The more we drink, the more thirsty we become.
Of course, putting aside the dose, it's hooliganism to say that exceeding the standard.
A normal brew of 5g tea has a caffeine content of about 150mg, while the human body recommends a daily caffeine intake of 300 ~ 400mg.
So making tea twice a day is within the normal range. This amount is about a little more than half of the daily drinking water. Drink the rest normally.
In some parts of our country, there is the habit of making a big pot of tea for the whole family to drink for a day. In this case, the amount of tea in a large pot will not be much, generally 8 ~ 10 grams, and the whole family will not drink too much.
In addition, the 8 cups of water theory does not mean that you should drink enough 8 cups even if you are not thirsty. As long as you feel thirsty, just drink (tea) water normally, which can ensure enough water intake every day.
Every morning before work, make yourself a cup of tea and start the day with full energy.
Have a cup of afternoon tea in the afternoon. It's best to match it with some desserts to replenish energy.
Drink less strong tea after dinner to prevent affecting sleep. Let nature take its course and do it appropriately, and you will have a healthier life.
