Posts: 2,572 Have been noticing lately that I am a bit dehydrated and was thinking what’s the deal, I have been drinking plenty of tea lately.
Then it came to me, isn’t tea, as in Black tea supposed to be a diuretic, if so maybe it is mostly passing through and not staying in the body to rehydrate.

There is so much talk in the media about the benefits of tea these days and a lot of us are drinking it more,but when you exercise or work in warm environments and perspire, maybe tea is not good to drink during these times.

I know athletes drink a lot of Gatorade or Power Aid,but there is a lot of sugar in that stuff and I don’t want to get in the habit of drinking sugar drinks all the time.

Posts: 790 Good ole water is the best way to quench your thirst. Add a lemon slice for some flavor. Gatorade has sodium, potassium and some sugar (glucose/sucrose) in it. Power Aid has sodium, sugar and some vitamins though I think they are negligible.

You never can go wrong with water. Just remember, if you are exercising, to keep hydrated but to watch out for signs of hyponatemia.
