Tea Helps Keep Blood Pressure Down
In a new study, conducted at the National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan, scientists examined the effect of drinking tea on the risk of newly diagnosed hypertension in subjects aged 20 or older who did not have a history of hypertension when the study began. Approximately 40% of the study participants were defined as "habitual tea drinkers", meaning they consumed at least 120 milliliters of green tea or oolong tea every day for at least one year. After all the data of the study was analyzed it was concluded that habitual moderate strength green or oolong tea consumption, 120 milliliters per day or more for one year, significantly reduces the risk of developing hypertension in the Chinese population. More research in this area would help to support a definitive conclusion. Source: The Archives of Internal Medicine, Volume 164, 2004. Read More.
