Health experts say that tea can affect the endothelium, a layer that is in arteries that can affect the risk of various dangerous diseases such as stroke, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and so on. The problem is, the endothelium will only function optimally until we are 30 years old. After that, the regeneration process will continue to decline and even worse if we pass 50 years. This will increase the risk of various dangerous diseases.
In a study conducted in China, it was stated that the habit of consuming pure green tea, not those that have been mixed with other ingredients such as sugar or milk, would significantly improve this endothelium function. In fact, this effect can be obtained half an hour after consuming tea. This effect is estimated to be from the flavonoids contained in tea leaves.
Another study conducted in the United Kingdom said that if we mix tea with other ingredients such as milk, we will not be able to get the health benefits of this tea even though both of these drinks are good for health. In fact, the risk for coronary heart disease can increase significantly.
Seeing this fact, consume tea frequently, especially green tea to make the blood vessels and heart become healthier. Only, make sure not to mix with other ingredients in order to get their health benefits.
