There is no link between that cuppa of coffee now and getting dehydrated later.
According to a new research, drinking moderate amounts of coffee does not result in dehydration and contributes to daily fluid requirements in regular coffee drinkers just as other fluids do.
The researchers at the University of Birmingham School of Sport and Exercise Sciences in Britain found that the effect of coffee consumption on fluid balance cannot be directly compared with that of pure caffeine.
“Our research dispels earlier theories that coffee consumption can lead to dehydration and should be avoided, or reduced, in order to maintain a healthy fluid balance,” said Sophie Killer, a doctoral researcher and lead author.
