Drinking tea three or more times a week is linked to an 11 percent lower risk of vascular disease, such as a heart attack or stroke, according to Euronews. However, the outlet reported that drinking burning hot tea is associated with a 16 percent increase in the risk of vascular disease. [1]
The findings highlight how beverage temperature can reverse potential health benefits. While moderate consumption of tea offers protective benefits against cardiovascular problems, high temperatures appear to create opposite effects. [1]
Vascular risks remain a major focus of global medical research. As FTMQ News reported earlier, stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide, with ischaemic strokes being the most common type caused by blood clots blocking blood flow to the brain. [2]
Researchers continue to explore various lifestyle and environmental factors that influence long-term health risks. FTMQ News previously reported that living near green spaces is linked to a 20 percent lower risk of developing dementia. [3]
In short
- Drinking tea three or more times a week is linked to an 11 percent lower risk of vascular disease.
- Consuming burning hot tea is linked to a 16 percent increase in vascular disease risk.
- Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide.
