Green tea is good for your heart- again!
There is indeed a beneficial effect of green tea on risk factors for heart disease. A new study found that the consumption of green tea rapidly improves the function of endothelial cells lining the circulatory system which is big news in the progression of atherosclerosis.
Results showed that endothelium-dependent brachial artery dilatation increased significantly after drinking green tea, with a peak increase of 3.9 per cent 30 minutes after consumption.
This is too cool in that it is something you can due for your heart health right in your own home! I think green tea is an acquired taste but it is definitely worth a go based on the above test results.
