Regular tea drinkers live 26% longer than non-drinkers and have significantly lower risks of heart disease and stroke.  This from a Chinese study just published in the European Journal of Cardiology.

 

The investigation focuses on nearly 101,000 healthy middle-aged Chinese participants.  Regular tea drinkers have a 39% lower risk of any heart disease and stroke, a 56% lower risk of death from such diseases, and a 29% lower risk of death from any cause.

 

Polyphenol-rich green tea works the best as these antioxidants keep your lipids and blood pressure under control.  Buy and enjoy green tea regularly and you’ll toast others to a long life even longer.
