Good News For Tea Lovers - Study Reveals Drinking The Beverage Can Lead To Longer Life Span

Tea lovers have always been told that it's a habit that does more harm than good. 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.

What did the study conclude?

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.

The study concluded that as compared with non-habitual tea drinkers, habitual tea consumers had a 20 percent lower risk of incident heart disease and stroke, 22 percent lower risk of fatal heart disease and stroke, and 15 percent decreased risk of all-cause death. This just justifies the special connection we have felt with tea all along.
