Black Tea
Drinking tea regularly as part of a healthy lifestyle may help maintain a healthy heart. Numerous population health studies conducted around the world have demonstrated that drinking tea is linked to a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.
Two recent meta-analyses, which examined results from all previous population studies, concluded that the regular consumption of black tea had beneficial effects. One of these studies, published in 2003 in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, evaluated the relationship between the consumption of dietary flavonoids and death from heart disease. Tea is a major source of flavonoids, which act as potent antioxidants that neutralize the body’s naturally occurring but cell-damaging free radical molecules. Using results from seven previous studies, researchers found that individuals in the top third of dietary flavonoids intake had a 20 percent lower risk of death from coronary heart disease, compared to those in the bottom third.
The other meta-analysis reviewed 17 existing population health studies, dating from 1966 to 2000, which had investigated the relationship between drinking tea and cardiovascular disease. Published in the American Journal of Epidemiology in 2001, the study found that the rate of heart attack decreased by 11 percent among those who drank three cups of tea a day.
