Tea for heart
Scientists have come up with yet more evidence why tea is good for your
health----drinking three cups of tea a day can help prevent a heart attack or stroke...unless you are a man.
A team of
researchers in France has carried out a study and found that women who take three cups of tea are less likely to have plaques--dangerous build-ups of fat and cholesterol-in their arteries.
The researchers came to the conclusion after examining a group of 2613 men 3984 womenwith an average age of 73.
According to the teamit is unclear why men did not benefit from team drinking in terms of plaque build-up-one theory being that tea complement oestrogen, the female hormone that protects women against heart problems.
