Tea for Your Ticker
Did you know that drinking a single cup of black tea or green tea per day can cut your risk of heart attack by nearly half?
Previous studies suggested that as many as 4 cups of tea were necessary to reap similar health benefits. However, a 1999 Harvard study concluded that a single cup of tea daily reduced the chance of heart attack by 44%.
The researchers investigated the association of coffee, decaffeinated coffee, and tea with heart attacks and found that tea was the only beverage that actually lowered the risk for heart attack. It is the antioxidant power of the flavonoids contained in tea that is thought to be responsible for this benefit.
Take time out for tea and help keep your heart in tiptop shape.
