Great tasting water from the filtered water dispensers Adelaide
It seems like an eternal discussion: does pure water hydrate better than caffeinated drinks such as coffee and tea? Some health gurus claim that coffee and tea would dry you out and argue for drinking several litres of water a day. But what's true about this? We investigated!
Drinking coffee and tea
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. Another reason why coffee and tea are associated with dehydration is because of the dry mouth you get after drinking them. This is due to the tannins that these drinks contain. And although this substance gives a dry mouth - and with it the feeling of dehydration - no research has yet been found between drinking caffeinated beverages and dehydration. So it is only "a dry mouth." To hydrate your body you should drink more water from your water dispenser in Adelaide.
Caffeinated drinks such as coffee and tea are not associated with dehydration. However, with other health problems such as upset stomach, increased heart rate and insomnia.
Too much coffee and tea does cause other health problems
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 complaints, heartburn, restlessness, increased anxiety or nervousness, insomnia and an increased heartbeat. In that sense, it is certainly desirable to limit your coffee and tea consumption and to supplement the intake of water with water from your own water dispenser Adelaide!
Health problems with insufficient water
Every day you lose around 2.5 litres of fluid because we sweat, pee, relieve and breathe. We, therefore, recommend drinking 1.5 to 2 litres of water every day. This is sufficient to - in addition to the water that you ingest through your diet - bring your moisture balance back up to the required level. A good moisture balance is important because the water in our body controls many physiological processes. For example, it is necessary for the absorption of nutrients, the removal of waste materials and for controlling body temperature. A shortage of water, therefore, leads to headache, dizziness and in the long run even muscle cramps. Healthy drink water from the water dispensers Adelaide. Filtered water or bottled water.
Coffee and calories
Coffee or tea with sugar and cappuccino contains a lot of calories. Water not at all, but of course also has a flatter taste. Really cold water or sparkling water does give you the feeling that you really drink something, but then something very healthy.
Water as an alternative
Is water healthy? Drinking water is a very sensible alternative if you want to keep your energy level under control. Coffee (and tea with sugar) causes an energy peak, followed by an inevitable trough that makes us inclined to take even more coffee. Water leaves the regulation of your energy level to your body so that you are not completely empty at the end of the day.
