Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below We keep hearing that we need to drink lots of water during the day, but does this relate to clear water, or we can also consider tea as this liquid? The thing is that I drink a lot of tea, and I think it would be impossible for me to drink additionally so much water. Does not the body filter the water anyways?
Any difference between tea and water?

Green tea is fantastic to drink throughout the day. I drink a lot of hot and cold green tea throughout the day. The polyphenols in green tea raise serotonin levels (your body's feel good hormone) and also help mobilize fatty acids in the body. Green tea is also a potent anti-oxidant.
Herbal teas, white tea and red tea can also be drank throughout the day instead of water.
Black tea on the other hand contains a significant amount of caffeine and does not count towards you daily intake total because caffeine is a diuretic and dehydrates you. For each cup of black tea or coffee you drink, you need to drink an additional cup of water to make up for the diuretic effect the drink has.
