Coffee, Tea or... Hydration Thoughts
As a coffee drinker I pay attention to my coffee consumption and to studies that look at the benefits of caffeine on fat metabolism and energy during exercise.
Since caffeine is a diuretic it does pose a threat for endurance athletes. SIMPLE SOLUTION- quit drinking caffeinated beverages !
I don't like that idea so I have made a slight change- I drink a glass of water for every serving of coffee or tea that I drink.
I am a fan of Iced coffee and I drink it black most of the time- I often get a 2nd cup with water or refill my glass when I finish. This helps me stay even and limits the temptation for a 2nd ( or 3rd coffee).
I do the same with Green tea.
