TEA AND PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE

The reviving qualities of tea are backed up by many scientific studies.

Caffeine

Tea stimulates the autonomous nervous system and gives the body a gentle physical boost.  This effect is thought to be driven by the caffeine the tea contains. Intakes of 2.1 mg/kg caffeine corresponding to 147 mg caffeine for a 70 kg person, ingested prior to prolonged exercise delays fatigue. This level of caffeine can be achieved with consumption of approximately 3 cups of tea.

Tea and Fluid balance

Drinking tea helps contribute to the level of fluid your body needs every day. The fact that tea contains caffeine has not been found to negatively affect the fluid levels of people who drink tea in moderation.
