Heaven of Tea

Do you heart green tea? Well, the evidence is mounting that you probably should. We’ve already pointed out that tea can help avoid heart attacks. But a new study shows that within 30 minutes of drinking a cup of green tea, your arteries expand and your risk of heart attack goes down. Within 30 minutes!

We should all go drink a cup of Sencha green tea right now. Apparently the green tea improves your endothelial cells, which help prevent clogged arteries or atherosclerosis:

After drinking green tea, the subjects experienced significantly increased artery widening (dilation), with the highest increase noted at 30 minutes. The caffeinated beverage and hot water did not produce any significant changes in the same individuals.

Almost instant improvement - what more can you ask for? If you are new to green teas, I recommend starting with a flavored or scented green tea like Green Tea Heaven or ChocoNut Green Tea. These add flavor to the green tea (most Westerners aren’t used to the taste of regular green teas). If you enjoy green tea, don’t miss trying something unusual like Gunpowder Green Tea, which is a very high-grade green tea with a unique smoky taste.

It’s also recommended to drink several cups of tea a day, since this gives you the optimum health benefits of the tea. So drink up, knowing that your heart is loving green tea!
