When I drink hot tea it seems to have a diuretic effect. Does this dehydrate the body if your peeing a lot from tea?

Most teas, caffeinated especially, but also a lot of herbs, have a diuretic effect on the body whether they are consumed hot or cold. This means that for every ounce of tea consumed, your body expels an ounce and a half of water. So just be sure to drink extra water to make up for the diuretic effect...this goes for coffee, juice and sugary beverages as well. |

According to Dr. Batmanghelidj, your body starts to rely on the concentrating power of your kidneys to retain water if you're beginning to become dehydrated. If your urine is light, then you should be well hydrated :)! Bottom of page 16 and top of page 18 http://www.watercure2.org/pdf_files/Classic_Water_Interview.pdf |

Hot liquids process through the body faster than cold liquids. Just ask any tech who's ever done an ultrasound for which you need a full bladder. :) |

I spent 6 weeks only drinking tea and coffee... if they dehydrated I'd be dead. You need salt if you're increasing fluid intake too. |
