A member asked:
Does tea & coffee count towards making up the recommended minimum 1200 ml of daily water intake? tq

Yes, but...: Tea and coffee contribute to daily fluid requirements, but the caffeine they contain may cause diuresis ( increased urination), resulting in fluid loss. So drinking non caffeinated beverages ( not alcohol) is important to maintain hydration.

Yes ...but: Since these make you pee more by a direct effect on the kidney (caffeine) they are valued less than water,However, you can also include the water value in fruits (90%)/vegetables (60%) and other dietary items.
