  • People who drink a cup of tea regularly are likely to live longer than their counterparts who shun the drink.

    A report prepared by the Tea Advisory Panel (TAP) in UK and published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology showed that individuals who drank tea regularly had a 15-month longer lifespan than their counterparts who did not.

    The study showed that tea had a higher chance of preventing cardiovascular diseases including coronary heart disease.

    Other diseases include strokes, peripheral arterial disease and aortic disease.

    “Regular tea drinkers were 20 percent less likely to develop cardiovascular disease than those who didn’t drink tea.

    “Habitual tea drinkers lived for 15 months extra on average and enjoyed an extra 17 months without any cardiovascular disease compared with non-drinkers of tea,” read the study in part.

    The study sampled 1,047 individuals under a new campaign identified as Take 5 where 32 per cent of tea consumers believed that it is grown in the UK. A majority of tea consumed in UK is imported from Kenya.

    “In a large review, which combined 13 cohort and cross-sectional analyses, 30 laboratory studies and 13 clinical trials, regular tea consumption was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease.

    “The laboratory and clinical trials supported the protective effects of tea and its bioactive compounds against heart issues,” stated TAP dietitian Doctor Carrie Ruxton.

    The study also showed that 32 per cent of brits do not know that tea comes from leaves. 42 per cent drink tea to relieve stress while 24 per cent to lose weight.

    An earlier study by the U.S. National Cancer Institute found that drinking two or more cups of tea daily lowered risk of death from any cause by as much as 13 per cent.

    The study had been carried out over a span of 14 years.
