Drinking tea is better than water?

Drinking three to four cups of tea per day was as good as regular drinking water. Even by drinking the tea, you will receive an extra benefit to health. Opinions team nutritionist Dr Carrie Ruxton community leaders from Kings College London, UK, is published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

The team also rejected the assumption
is that the tea can cause dehydration. In fact, tea is also provided on the intake of body fluids (re-hydration) as well as white water, even tea can prevent heart disease and some cancers. Because the tea contains flavonoids which is believed to improve health. These substances including polyphenol antioxidants commonly found in a number of foods and plants, and is believed to help prevent cell damage.

'' So drinking tea is better than drinking water. Water replaces fluid. Tea replaces fluids while it also contains antioxidants that there are two advantages,'' said Dr Ruxton. Several previous studies support the notion about the benefits of drinking the tea. Even apart from preventing heart disease and cancer, the tea is also able to protect teeth from decay while strengthening bones. '' Tea also contains fluoride, which is good for the teeth,'' said Dr Ruxton.

So far there is no evidence that tea consumption is not good for health. Indeed, there is research that says that tea reduces the body's ability to absorb iron from food. This means, people who are at risk of suffering from anemia should avoid drinking tea around mealtimes. Regarding the benefits of this tea, Claire Williamson of the British Nutrition Foundation, said,'' Indeed, the evidence in humans is not too strong so it needs more research.

But obviously there are benefits of polyphenols for health, in terms of reducing the risk of diseases such as heart disease and cancer.'''' In terms of fluid intake, we recommend 1.5 to 2 liters per day and that can include tea. Tea is not dehydrating. This is a healthy drink,'' said Williamson.
