Drinking tea daily ”as good as water in keeping you hydrated”
A new study has found that drinking four to six mugs of tea daily is as good as a litre of water for keeping yourself hydrated.
The finding disproves the idea that regular tea drinking can dehydrate the body because of its caffeine content.
The research also found no negative health effects from drinking that amount of tea.
In the high quality UK clinical trial, 21 volunteers drank either four 240ml mugs of tea over a 12-hour period equivalent to just under one litre of tea in total or a similar amount of plain, boiled water served warm.
A study out this week in the online journal PloS Medicine exposes what might be a common way drug companies try to influence doctors.
PCOS or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome affects 5 to 10% women of reproductive age. PCOS is a leading cause of infertility in women. In this disease, women develop cysts on their ovaries which interfere with normal ovulation. Women suffering from this condition develop many follicles at once, which prevent release of a single mature ovum. As a result, these women do not ovulate on a regular basis. As normal ovulation is required for increasing your chances of conception, PCOS can seriously interfere with a woman’s ability to get pregnant. Women with PCOS often need medical help getting pregnant.
