Tea and water

Sometimes, science actually proves what most of us already take for granted.
In a report on a recent study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Dr. Carrie Ruxton, a nutritionist, found that: “drinking tea is actually better than drinking water.”

 “Water basically replaces fluid,” Ruxton wrote. “Tea replaces fluids and contains antioxidants so that you have two things happening.”
