Tea Can Prevent Stroke


Have you ever been told that drinking tea regularly can reduce your risk of having stroke ?


Studies have shown that there was a 13% lower risk of stroke among tea drinkers.


But there are different types of tea. So the question now is what type of tea can reduce the risk of having stroke ?


WHAT TYPE OF TEA?


Though over 100 varieties of tea exist and it's just too obvious that it's not all of them can reduce the risk of stroke.


Researchers have not actually pin-point any particular variety of to be responsible for reducing the risk of stroke.


Though, results of smaller researches suggested that green tea consumption was associated with a decreased stroke rate but that black tea consumption was not.


WHAT AMOUNT IS SUFFICIENT?


The effect of tea on stroke risk is a long-term effect one.

Studies have shown that there was noticeable decline in stroke risk among people who drink 3 cups of tea per day.

While no noticeable decline in stroke risk among participants who only occasionally drank tea.

WHY DO TEA REDUCE STROKE RISK?

Antioxidants. Many types of tea contain some antioxidants.

A Study have shown people with no history of stroke or any CVD (cardiovascular diseases) who consumed the highest amount of antioxidants in foods such as fruit, vegetables, tea, whole grains, and chocolate had 20% fewer strokes than those who ate the least amount. 

Among women with a history of CVD, those who consumed the most antioxidants had 45% fewer hemorrhagic strokes.


The study suggests that eating a diet rich in antioxidants, especially from fruits and vegetables, may be of importance for stroke prevention.


Antioxidants are more concentrated in tea that is produced with natural tea leaves or natural fruits (e.g. Mango).


The caffeinated varieties of tea also have some different stroke-fighting properties of their own.


Caffeine in moderate amounts is beneficial for the blood flow and blood vessels, and can, therefore, help prevent stroke in people who do not have problems with high blood pressure.


SOME TYPES OF TEA CAN DO THE OPPOSITE


But remember that tea that is made with ginger or ginseng can be healthy in low to moderate doses, due to the blood thinning effects of ginger and ginseng.


However, heavy consumption of more than 5-6 cups per day can result in too much of a blood thinning action, especially if you already take blood thinners. Instead of preventing stroke, this can lead to hemorrhagic stroke.
