It is the number 1 infusion in our country and one of the most marked customs of Argentine society. But, is it useful for hydration?
For the correct functioning of the organism, it is essential to drink Water. It is the main hydration source and it is key for our vital functions to be carried out, including respiration, perspiration, fertilization, circulation and excretion. Also, it helps regulate body temperature for full oxygen transport to cells.
Humans could only survive a few days without drinking water, which is why the recommended intake for adults is two to three liters of fluid per day.

Regrettably The answer is negative: drinking mate does not replace taking two to three liters of water per day required in the daily diet. Ignorance causes many to make the mistake of assuming that, supplanting with some thermos of mate, the famous eight glasses a day can be avoided.
Despite this, yerba mate has broad benefits for the body to the other from its consumption, since it provides vitamins B1, B2, iron, magnesium, sodium, potassium and more than ten types of amino acids. In addition, its diuretic effect favors the elimination of fluids through the urine.
