HELP!? Lipton iced tea questions!?!
but i want to know a bit about Lipton iced tea (powder)
is it considered `healthy'?
i mean i want to get 8 glasses a day of water to help my overall health (skin , hair , complexion , nails etc.) i drink alot of ice tea powder with my water i usually put like 3 spoonfuls in a glass
i get very bored with water and its easier to drink more with tea.
am i still getting my water? or does the tea effect my hydration?
the canister says 18 g of sugar how much is that in like spoonfuls?
is drinking this stuff as bad as drinking soda or other bad drinks?
Answers:
well if you wanna be healthier, stay away from sugar. I just drink regular plain iced tea (cause I love it) and its good for hydration. the only problem with tea is that it has caffeine so it makes you have to pee more. but i dont know to much about that powder stuff. just that it has lots of sugar
If you like the tate of tea then I would suggest that you make sun tea with a caffeine free herbal blend. However if you're going for weight loss, you can't beat just plain ol' water. 64 fluid ounces a day is what most dietitians recommend. The added sugar won't help anything more than taste and adds calories to your daily intake. A healthy substitute would be honey, as it is a whole food and promotes a strong immune system or you could use a sugar substitute like Splenda. Good luck!
