Why is it that when trying to drink your daily 8 cups of water, juice and tea do not count?

Doesn’t everything just get mixed up together once you swallow?

Answer #1

yes is does eventually get mixed up, But juice and tea don’t count because it has extra things mixed with it already where as water straight from the tap has no added ingredients The whole point of drinking water is to keep you hydrated because I don’t know what it them but juice and tea hydrate you easily that why people drink so much of it in short periods of time, where was water is conserved longer and keeps you full and hydrated.

Answer #2

I don’t know why not. Juice and tea, or as I like to say, tea and juice, contain more vital nutrients that prevent cell damage and heart problems. Water is basically replacing fluids. Tea and juice do that and more. They do count.

Answer #3

I was just thinking about this subject, this morning. The idea of drinking only water is what dieticians/nutritionists invented. If they had their way, they would have you only drinking water, and only eating salads. I was once told, by a dietician, that I can only drink water and can only eat salads. These people live in a world of their own, and they don’t realise that there is a world “out there” that doesn’t like salads…or water!

Answer #4

Tea is a natural diuretic, meaning that is causes you to lose fluids from your body. This isn’t always a bad thing, it’s just that it doesn’t hydrate you the same way a glass of water would. Ever notice if you have a cup of tea right before you go to bed, you probably have to wake up during the night to go to the bathroom? Same with coffee and coca cola, maybe moreso because of the amount of caffeine.
