25 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD START DRINKING GREEN TEA NOW (PART 1)

Dear readers,

Thanks for stay tuned. I am pleased to share with you the second good reason so as you can reap its benefit:-

2. Green Tea and Heart Disease

Green tea helps prevent heart disease and stroke by lowering the level of cholesterol.

Even after the heart attack, it prevents cell deaths and speeds up the recovery of heart cells.

The study published in Dec 17, 2009 issue of Circulation Journal shows that green tea consumption was associated with 38 percent reduced risk of coronary atherosclerosis.

This is not the first study on the association between heart diseases and drinking green tea, but not all studies are consistent when it comes to its protective effect against coronary atherosclerosis.

Wang QM and colleagues from First Affiliate Hospital of Nanjiang Medical University examined data from 520 men and women from a Chinese population who underwent coronary artheriography for the first time, but had no prior heart disease.

Of 379 male participants, those who consumed less than 125 grams of dried green tea leaves per month were at 9 percent higher risk of the disease and those using 125 to 249 grams per month or more were at 64 percent reduced risk of the heart disease.

Among 141 female patients, no inverse association was found between green tea consumption and coronary atherosclerosis.

Hope you share the above information with others whom you care, just like I have done.

Thanks for your kind action.

Seeing you again for the remaining reasons.
