Turns Drinking four cups Tea a Day Can Reduce Stroke Risk

TEA has many benefits for health. Based on recent research, drinking four cups of tea a day is efficacious in reducing the risk of stroke.

Scientists at the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden, studied how the consumption of black tea - the type of tea that most Britons drink - associated with stroke. The study involved nearly 75,000 men and women. Similarly, reported Dailymail.co.uk

The Swedish team studied many as 74 961 adults who were in good health when signing up for long-term health study in 1997. Over the next ten years, more than 4,000 of the volunteers suffered a stroke, especially ischemic.

As part of this study, researchers also monitor the habit of drinking tea. The result? Researchers found that at least 4 cups per day may reduce the risk of blood clots in the brain by 21 percent.

But when drinking less than 4 cups seem to have no beneficial effect. Stroke has been noted that kills about 200 people every day in the UK. About 85 percent of victims of ischemic stroke, which occurs freezing in traveling to the brain and shut down the blood supply. The rest suffered a hemorrhagic stroke, in which the blood vessel in the brain bursts, causing fatal bleeding.

British consumers expected to consume 165 million cups of tea every day, mostly black. This tea is packed with components called flavonoids, which are considered good for the heart and brain.
