There have been numerous studies that have not refuted the fact that regular consumption of this drink lowers cholesterol and normalizes blood pressure.
Rich in antioxidants, black tea is a healthy drink for heart patients and hypertensives. Even one cup of tea can lower blood pressure slightly, and regular consumption of two to three cups a day can have heart benefits. The Daily Express examined a study by scientists published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
The study was conducted among a group of people who drank up to three cups of black tea over a six-month period, and concluded that the drink may be a preventive measure of cardiovascular disease. Still, it is noted that it is neither a panacea nor a cure.
The risk of heart disease, including hypertension, can be reduced by leading a healthy lifestyle. It is necessary to eat right and balanced meals, give up bad habits and be sure to add moderate physical activity to your life.
Grapes also help reduce cholesterol levels.
