Because it contains a lot of water, tea seems like the perfect ally for good hydration . Should we be wary of appearances? Does tea hydrate? We'll take a look just for you.
If we need water to be healthy, it's because our body is made up of about 60% of it.
Regulation of body temperature, irrigation of tissues, control of blood pressure, transport of nutrients and oxygen, impact on mood, improvement of sleep, elimination of toxins, reduction of fatigue, alleviation of headaches: water is essential for the proper functioning of our body .
Throughout the day, our bodies draw on what we eat and drink to replenish their energy. Because there's water everywhere, including in the cup of Les 2 Marmottes tea you just made!
Every day, we need almost 2.5 liters of water to feel good.
If our food accounts for approximately 1 liter, the rest (1.5 liters) must come to us in liquid form.
Composed mainly of water, natural, without sugar and without added flavors, tea has everything to please.
For example, organic green tea is a very valuable friend for your well-being that you can find in our Menth'olé Tea , our Green Tea or even our Slim Tea. So, do you want something a little more floral? Then our Fleur'Thé Jasmin is what you need!
Let yourself also be captivated by organic black tea in our recipe Ç a va frui'thé or even lemon tea . 2 thirst-quenching, invigorating and delicious drinks. For the more classic among you, our pure black tea, Thé réveil , should delight your taste buds... Without forgetting its spicy version, the chai Thé fort Épicé , ultra comforting.
For those with a sweet tooth, we recommend our most daring recipes: our Vanilla black tea (with real vanilla pods!), or our Earl Grey tea …So British!
The only downside to tea is its theine content . This molecule from the caffeine family can not only increase our blood pressure but also tend to dehydrate us.
Then turn to hot drinks without theine like our famous Rooibos Cassis : fruity and subtly smoky, it will definitely quench your thirst.
While some teas are more dehydrating than others, when consumed in large quantities, they can also have a diuretic effect. This means that the more tea you drink, the more you will need to urinate and therefore the more you will evacuate... And therefore the more water you will need to drink! So it is best not to exceed 4 or 5 cups of tea per day.
If you're in need of hot water, make yourself one of our soothing herbal teas made with chamomile , peppermint , or ginger . Naturally caffeine-free, they'll keep you hydrated to the last drop while also making you feel good.
When we tell you that happiness is in the cup!
The answer is no! If you are doing a sporting activity (for example, hiking in Haute-Savoie ), if the temperatures rise or if you are breastfeeding, then your water needs will increase.
You will therefore need to ensure that you stay well hydrated throughout the day, alternating between pure water, teas and herbal teas .
Needless to say, to fully play their role in hydration, your hot drinks will happily do without sugar.
And remember, if you feel thirsty, it's probably a sign of dehydration! So don't wait, drink cold or hot water throughout the day without depriving yourself.
