We’re confirmed coffee drinkers…but we also like a cup of tea every now and again.
A new study suggests that switching to tea might be healthier for you, because:
It helps lower blood pressure A recent study found that compounds in it help our blood vessels relax which can keep your blood pressure in check.
The “flavonoids” might help you live longer Anything plant-based has them, including tea and one cup has a third of the flavonoids you need in a day.
It might help you lose weight Tea can boost your metabolism and promote the growth of healthy gut bacteria which helps with weight loss.
It could lower your stroke risk. A study found people who drink two to three cups of tea OR coffee a day are 32% less likely to have a stroke between the ages of 50 and 75, and 28% less likely to develop dementia…in addition green tea has also been linked to lower rates of Alzheimer’s disease.
It might protect your liver. People 45 and older who drink a lot of tea and coffee have less scarring on their livers, which is an early sign of cirrhosis.
Would you make the switch?
