Tea May Help You
Live Longer, , Study Says.
A study published in the 'European Journal of Preventive Cardiology' found a link between drinking tea and living longer. .
Chinese researchers analyzed
a group of over 100,000
healthy participants over
a period of seven years.
Habitual tea drinkers were found to
have a 20 percent lower risk of suffering
from heart disease or stroke.
They were also observed to have a 22 percent
lower risk of dying from heart disease and stroke. .
After an additional five years,
those who continued to drink tea
regularly had a 39 percent lower
risk of heart disease and stroke...
... and a 56 percent lower risk of
dying from heart disease and stroke. .
Although 49 percent of the tea drinkers
in the study preferred green tea, which
is believed to offer health benefits.
it is not definite that it is “responsible” for the study's results, according to Dr. Jenna Macchiochi of the University of Sussex.
This study strengthens the body of evidence that habitual tea drinking is associated with lower rates of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, though it cannot prove that it's definitely the tea that's responsible, Dr. Jenna Macchiochi, via CNN
