Rehydrating after a run with lots of… green tea! 🍵
@kensanata Green tea contains caffeine, which is a diuretic. Counterproductive?
@AnchorSchnitzel Not in any noticeable way. For example: "Drinking caffeine-containing beverages as part of a normal lifestyle doesn't cause fluid loss in excess of the volume ingested. While caffeinated drinks may have a mild diuretic effect — meaning that they may cause the need to urinate — they don't appear to increase the risk of dehydration." https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/caffeinated-drinks/faq-20057965
