Quench your thirst with a refreshing cup of tea. Drinking a cup of tea during summer will make your body feel cooler and will lead to extra production of saliva in your mouth.
The cooling effect is because of the caffeine in the tea leaves. Caffeine is one of the substances that supports the burning of body fat to energy. This leads to loss of bodily fluids by form of transpiration, which is a way in which the body cools itself. In addition, the polyphenols, amino acids and vitamins present in the tea leaves ensure the increase of saliva production, which all contribute to a thirst-quenching feeling.
In warm weather extra pressure is placed on our bodies and so increasing our water intake is vital for healthy hydration. In the heat we can quickly become dehydrated. The body tries to cool itself by sweating and this leads to valuable water loss. Dehydration occurs if this water is not replaced and typical symptons include headaches, tiredness and dizziness. Tea contributes to your fluid intake.
Top tips on staying hydrated in heat
