Ce bei pe caniculă: ceai cald sau lichide reci? Ce răcorește mai bine organismul • Newsweek România

Hot beverages like tea can help cool the body under specific conditions, but cold drinks are generally more effective in high heat and humidity. The body's cooling mechanism relies on sweat evaporation, which is less effective in humid conditions. Studies show that while hot drinks can increase sweating, they may not be beneficial when the air is saturated with moisture. The World Health Organization recommends regular hydration, suggesting at least 2-3 liters of water daily during heatwaves. Cold water is often the better choice for hydration, especially in extreme temperatures, while very hot drinks should be avoided due to health risks.
