Drinking Green Tea Can Help You Recover from These Health Conditions

Researchers have already discovered that green tea can improve your cholesterol levels, boost your brain function, and even provide some anti-cancer benefits. Now, it turns out that the beverage might also be a key part of recovering from heart attack and stroke.

A new study published in the journal Stroke found that stroke survivors     1    drank at least seven cups of green tea per day reduced the risk by as much as 53%. According to WebMD, researchers also saw heart attack survivors having about a 62% lower risk of death from any cause than the non-green-tea-drinking     2    .

Compared to those who didn’t regularly drink coffee, people     3    (drink)just one cup of coffee per day lowered heart attack risk by 22%.

And     4    the study found no relationship between green tea consumption and mortality for participants without a history of stroke or heart disease, these participants did experience a 14% lower risk of dying from any cause if they drank a cup of coffee daily. In short, drinking adequate green tea every day     5    increase longevity for both heart attack and stroke survivors, while sipping on a cup of coffee may offer minor life-extending benefits for everyone.

The study looked at data from nearly 50,000 adults in Japan     6    (age) 40-79, over the course of about 20 years. Participants typically drank their green tea     7    sugar, though many may have been provided with milk and sugar. Researchers were not able to explain with any certainty     8    green tea and coffee offered the long-lasting benefits seen in the study. More research is needed to better understand why these results occurred.
