Study reveals: drinking tea extends life

Weather of Arabia - A cup of tea may often have a magical effect in improving mood and clearing the mind, and it was found that tea is beneficial to the health of the body as well, as the study published in Annals of Internal Medicine found that drinking two or more cups of black tea per day was associated with a lower risk of death from Health reasons.

The researchers behind the study looked at data on 500,000 men and women from the UK Biobank, aged 40 to 69, of whom 85% drank tea regularly (89% of them drank black tea). Between 9% - 13%, the mortality rate over 10 years, especially for those who were suffering from cardiovascular disease.

The results represent a "significant advance", as most previous studies were done in Asia on green tea being the most consumed there, even though both black and green tea come from the same plant.

According to the study, the positive results of drinking tea were not affected whether it was taken without additives or with sugar and milk, for example, but health experts strongly encourage to reduce the consumption of sugar and saturated fats found in milk.

According to experts, the tea is rich in bioactive compounds like polyphenols, which have the ability to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation. This can protect against some health problems such as cancer and heart disease.

The researchers pointed out that the study does not definitively prove that tea is the cause of the decrease in premature deaths, because it cannot be excluded that this is due to other health factors associated with consumption of the drink.

And he called for more research to know the duration of the effect of drinking tea on health, and the elements that contribute to making the drink a positive impact.

But what I did confirm was that if you currently drink tea - especially the black tea that was the subject of the study, you can continue to do so.
