'Healthy' Cups of Tea

AN OVERVIEW:A TEA THAT PREVENTS A HEART ATTACK
Scientists have come up with an evidence why tea is good for your health –drinking 3 cups a day can prevent a heart attack or stroke…unless u’r a man. A team of researches in France has carried out a study and found that women who take three cups of tea daily are less likely to have plaque-dangerous build-ups of fat and cholesterol –in their arteries.

A PRODUCTIVE RESEARCH:
The researches came to the conclusion after examining a group of 2,613 men and 3,984 women with an average of 73.They measured the level of plaque. Carotid plaque was found in 45 per cent of women who were not tea-drinkers, in 42.5 per cent of women who drank one or two cups daily and in only 33.7 per cent of those reporting drinking 3or more cups a day.

PLAQUE LESSENED:
Even women with high blood pressure appeared to gain protection from tea to but male who are regular tea-drinkers did not reap the same health benefits, the researches found. According to the team, it’s unclear why men did not benefit from tea-drinking in terms of lessening plaque build-up-one theory being that tea-complements oestrogen, the female hormone that protects women against heart problems.
