More Healthy Benefits from Drinking Tea

by joi on January 22, 2008

The journal Circulations serves up another great reason to drink tea.  Research shows that drinking tea may reduce the risk of death following a heart attack. 

The research shows that people who drank two or more cups a day had a 44 percent lower death rate following their heart attacks than did non-tea drinkers.

Another big plus in tea’s column comes courtesy of a study in the Archives of Internal Medicine.  Their study discovered that tea drinkers have stronger bones than non-tea drinkers.  People who drank tea regularly for at least 6 years had greater bone mineral density than those who didn’t.  Those who drank tea for more than 10 years had the highest bone density.

Guess that means it’s always a good time for Tea Time!
