Three cups of tea every day could reduce risk of stroke by 21 percent compared to people who don't drink tea. Study finds
Green tea has many benefits for your body; it is believed that people who drink green tea have healthier and longer life. A recent study showed that tea lovers, can reduced their risk of stroke by 21 percent compared to people who don’t drink tea.
The study suggests that if you drink at least three cups of tea every day, your chance of getting a stroke is decreased.
The reason is because the chemicals present in tea – catechins and theanins – contribute to improved blood vessel function. In addition, tea may help you by reducing blood pressure.
‘Tea drinking may be one of the most actionable lifestyle changes to significantly reduce the risk of stroke,’ said the study.
Dr Catherine Hood of the Tea Advisory Panel said: ‘These latest health findings are really exciting for all of us tea drinkers.
‘Despite different countries studied and the different tea drinking customs represented across the studies, the meta-analysis showed that tea consumption was associated with reduced risk for stroke and reduced risk of death from stroke.’

Most of us get angry every once and a while, and the anger fades away after few days, hours or even seconds. But here is a scary reason why you should calm yourself down when you get angry. A recent study showed that people who get angry are 10 more times at risk of developing heart problems, and they would need life-saving treatment to correct their heartbeat.
From previous studies, research showed that war, violent, earthquakes or even superbowl or world cup match can increase rates of death from sudden cardiac arrest, in which the heart stops circulating blood.
“It’s definitely been shown in all different ways that when you put a whole population under a stressor that sudden death will increase,” said Dr. Rachel Lampert of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, whose study appears in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. “Our study starts to look at how does this really affect the electrical system of the heart.”
