It’s a common myth that caffeine, found in teas, coffee, and soda, acts as a diuretic and causes dehydration. The scientific evidence does not support this myth(ii) In fact, there’s plenty of evidence to the contrary. An extensive review of studies on the effects of caffeine and fluid balance revealed that single servings of caffeine at levels found in a cup of tea have little or no diuretic effect. Studies have also shown that regular caffeine consumers’ bodies adapt to caffeine, further decreasing the possibility of dehydration.(iv) Learn more about high-performance hydration at Lipton.com.

Stay Focused on the Finish Line
For centuries, people have been enjoying tea because it’s more than just refreshing. It’s rejuvenating. In fact, tea can revive, relax and refresh all at the same time. Studies indicate that just one cup of black tea can give your brain a boost by improving mental alertness and drinking black tea throughout the day (1 cup every 2-3 hours) can help maintain a higher level of mental alertness as well as reduce feelings of fatigue. These positive effects do not appear to be due strictly to caffeine.(v) Researchers believe that L-theanine, an amino acid in black, green and oolong tea, may contribute to the rejuvenating effects of tea. Preliminary research suggest that L-theanine may help clear the mind - which not only helps you stay more focused, but can also calm your thoughts so you might sleep more soundly.(vi vii)

Keep Your Body in Winning Condition
Studies suggest that tea doesn’t just taste good, it may help you feel good too. Based on preliminary animal and test tube studies, some researchers believe that antioxidants in black and green tea can boost your immune system in a variety of ways. Although more research is needed before any conclusions can be drawn, these emerging studies suggest that certain antioxidants called flavonoids can help fight off infection by improving your body’s resistance to viruses and bacteria (vii ix x xi), promoting growth of good bacteria in your intestines, and even killing bacteria known to cause stomach ulcers.(xii xii xiv) Antioxidants can also help guard against chronic diseases, like heart disease and certain forms of cancer. Plus, drinking tea not only helps you feel good, but it may also help you look good by helping to maintain good oral health.(xv xvi xvii)
