Tea May Help You Live<br />Longer, Study Says.<br />A new study published in the 'European Journal<br />of Preventive Cardiology' has found a link between<br />drinking tea and living longer. .<br />Chinese researchers analyzed<br />a group of over 100,000<br />healthy participants over<br />a period of seven years.<br />Habitual tea drinkers were found to have a 20 percent<br />lower risk of suffering from heart disease or stroke.<br />They were also observed to have a 22 percent<br />lower risk of dying from heart disease and stroke. .<br />After an additional five years,<br />those that continued to drink tea<br />regularly had a 39 percent lower<br />risk of heart disease and stroke.<br />and a 56 percent lower risk of<br />dying from heart disease and stroke. .<br />Although 49 percent of the tea drinkers<br />in the study preferred green tea, which<br />is believed to offer health benefits.<br />it is not definite that it is “responsible”<br />for the study's results, according to Dr. Jenna<br />Macchiochi of the University of Sussex.<br />This study strengthens the body of evidence<br />that habitual tea drinking is associated with<br />lower rates of atherosclerotic cardiovascular<br />disease, though it cannot prove that it's<br />definitely the tea that's responsible, Dr. Jenna Macchiochi, via CNN
