University of Western Australia (UWA) reported that the team led by Professor Jonathan Hodgson of its school of medicine was the first in the world to find that black tea can reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure The research results have been published in the archives of internal medicine As we all know, high blood pressure can greatly increase the risk of heart disease A large number of facts have shown that tea contributes to heart health, but "showing the association between tea and the main cause of heart disease" is an important finding In the study, scientists selected 95 Australians aged 35-75 These people either drink three cups of black tea a day or a placebo that has the same taste and contains caffeine from non tea ingredients Six weeks later, the researchers found that black tea drinkers' 24-hour systolic and diastolic pressures were 2-3 mmHg lower than those of placebo drinkers Professor Jonathan Hodgson said: "although early studies have found that drinking tea is related to improving human blood vessels, how tea reduces blood pressure remains to be further studied." Tea is the second largest drink in the world after water Therefore, it is of great significance to study the role of tea.
