You’ve probably heard that too much coffee or tea will leave you dehydrated...
But according to fitness expert Jonathan Ross, that’s not necessarily true. It is true that they contain caffeine, which is a diuretic – but they are also made with water. That caffeine/water ratio is not enough to leave you depleted. He says you can go ahead and credit some of that coffee and tea toward your daily intake of water.
As for the 8 glasses of water a day we’re supposed to be drinking, Jonathan says we shouldn’t worry too much about drinking any exact amount. Our individual water needs vary a lot due to several factors. If you’ve got a healthy diet, you’re getting some significant water through high-water content foods like fruits and vegetables.
