Drinking water question
by iceman44, Jun 28, 2006 12:00AM
Hello
I have a simple question.....Rule of thumbs says to drink atleast 64oz of water per day....but I find it hard to drink that much water each and ever day....
my question is this...if I drink 64oz of Tea ( Peach ICE TEA ) would tht be considered that same as drinking 64oz of water...I mean it is tea but its still like 99% water...

Drinking tea is a good source of water if you don't like to drink just plain water. The problem with drinking tea is the temptation to drink it with sugar and/or milk and the fact that it can stain your teeth. Peach tea is ususlly purchased as an instant tea. Just be aware that instant teas often have stuff in them that you may not want to consume. Sugar, sugar substitutes, dyes, and other chemicals are added to enhance flavor and adds nothing useful to the diet. Try the flavored tea bag teas instead. If you really want to be healthy, try adding fresh juices to the tea to replace sugar as your sweetner. Enjoy
