However, a scientific study now backs the claims of all those who feel like a cup of tea can solve all of their problems. The Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences says the favourable health effects have turned out to be the best for green tea and long-term habitual tea drinkers. The analysis, published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, included 1,00,902 participants of the China-PAR project with no history of heart attack, stroke, or cancer.

For the study, participants were classified into two groups - habitual tea drinkers, who consumed three or more times a week, and those who did not or had tea less than three times a week. After an extensive 7 year-long analysis, habitual tea consumption was linked to more healthy years of life and longer life expectancy.
