DAILYKENN.com (http://www.dailykenn.com/)-- A study in China concluded that people who habitually drink green tea at three times each week live longer, a report says (https://www.itv.com/news/2020-01-09/habitual-tea-drinking-linked-to-longer-life/).
The research suggests a 50-year-old habitual tea drinker would develop coronary heart disease and stroke 1.41 years later, and live 1.26 years, longer than someone who never or seldom drank tea.
Compared with never or non-habitual tea drinkers, habitual tea consumers had a 20% lower risk of incident heart disease and stroke, and a 22% lower risk of fatal heart disease and stroke.
They also had a 15% decreased risk of all-cause death, the study suggests.
First author Dr Xinyan Wang, of the Chinese Academy of Medical Science in Beijing, said: “Habitual tea consumption is associated with lower risks of cardiovascular disease and all-cause death.
