Rehydrating after a run with lots ofโ€ฆ green tea! ๐Ÿต

ยท Amaroq ยท 1 ยท 2

@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 โ€” meaning that they may cause the need to urinate โ€” they don't appear to increase the risk of dehydration." mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifesty

*gulps down a bancha like a man of the earth*

@wrenpile @kensanata Unless I meant a particular type of bancha. I say things like "an assam", "an expensive darjeeling", etc.
