Frequent green tea intake can help avoid strokes
In a new study, Australian scientists have found that frequent tea consumption can significantly reduce the risk of suffering a stroke. Researchers discovered that long-term consumption of green tea, at least once a week, substantially decreases ischemic stroke risk. The study looked into green tea consumption of Chinese patients who suffered a stroke and found encouraging news when comparing frequent drinkers with infrequent or nondrinkers. Major inverse dose-response relationships were also found for years of drinking and the amount of dried tea leaves brewed.
