3 cups of tea a day helps prevent heart
www.neomundo.com.ar / saludyciencias.com.ar) Drink at least three cups of green or black tea each day seems to help significantly reduce the risk of any stroke
This is according to a new study by UCLA professionals from the USA, and published in the online edition of the journal Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association.
UCLA researchers completed a review of all observational studies on stroke and tea consumption. In particular they found nine studies that describe stroke suffered in 4378 a group of 195,000 people.
"What we saw was that there was significant statistical conclusions of magnitude," said Lenore Arab, professor of Medicine at UCLA.
"By drinking three cups of tea a day, the risk of stroke was reduced by 21%. No matter if it was green tea or black tea."
And if you are extrapolating the data, the effect appears to be linear and incremental, other 3 cups more and the risk falls down another 21%.
This effect was found when taken with tea made based the Camellia sinensis, and not many herbal teas. Options
few forms or medications are known that serve to reduce the risk of stroke, experts say. And the development of specific drugs is especially difficult.
"That's why these results are so important," said Arab. "If we can find a way to prevent stroke, or prevent his brain damage, and also, is a simple and non-toxic drug, would be a breakthrough."
Although there is still evidence that compounds in tea which are responsible for this effect, researchers have speculated that the antioxidant EGCG or theanine may be some of that help achieve these effects preventvos.
