Tea Benefits

Maybe you like drinking green tea as watching movies. If it’s true, you are really lucky, because your heart is more healthy. One of green tea benefits is preventing heart disease.

How Does Green Tea Keep Heart Health?

Green tea is rich in antioxidants known as flvonoids, which are also found in vegetables and fruits. The flavonoids can prevent low density lipoprotein cholesterol from becoming oxidized. The low density lipoprotein is the factor leads to atherosclerosis. Besides, it also help protect our body from free radical damage.

In addition, green tea is also found to have the ability of the blood vessels to relax - in cardiac patients. Flavonoids may also have an anti-clotting effect.

Study Results Published By Journal of the American Heart Association

Study Results were published by Journal of the American Heart Association on May 7, 2002. They found great benefits of green tea consumption among cardiovascular disease patients. People who drankk tea heavily had a 44 percent lower death rate than non-tea drinkers in the 3 and a half year, while who drank  moderatly had a 28 percent lower rate of dying when compared with non-tea drinkers.

Another researcher at the Tohuku University School of Public Policy in Sendai, Japan, found women drink five or more 3.4-ounce cups of green tea daily reduces the risk of heart disease by 31 percent in women, while by 22 percent in men

OK. Both biologic  research and experiments proved preventing heart disease is one of green tea benefits. I am very happy to learn that, because I am green tea lover.
