Tea not only rehydrates as well as water does, it also has many other health benefits.

"Drinking tea is actually better for you than drinking water. Water is essentially replacing fluid. Tea replaces fluids and contains antioxidants so it's got two things going for it", said Dr Ruxton

They dispelled common belief that tea dehydrates. Tea not only rehydrates as well as water does, it also has many other health benefits.

"Studies on caffeine have found very high doses dehydrate and everyone assumes that caffeine-containing beverages dehydrate. But even if you had a really, really strong cup of tea or coffee, which is quite hard to make, you would still have a net gain of fluid."

"Also, a cup of tea contains fluoride, which is good for the teeth," she added

"In terms of fluid intake, we recommend 1.5-2 litres per day and that can include tea. Tea is not dehydrating. It is a healthy drink."

The green tea and dehydration study was published in the Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2006.

Along with your tea you should drink some water. Coffe and tea can leave you very dehydrated if your not water drinker so try to get in your water !!!!

No... it's not the tea.

It's your skin reacting to the weather.

yes i drink a lot of tea and coffee everyday and i go to bathroom like every 50 min.
it's because they contain caffeine.

it's good that you drink a lot of water but since you drink tea at the same time, maybe water doesn't work that much.

the best way is to minimize the amount of tea you drink ( maybe just 1 or 2 cups a day?) and keep drinking lots of water.
