Regularly drinking tea is linked to an 11 percent lower risk of heart and blood vessel diseases, according to ScienceDaily. The finding comes from a study of nearly 486,000 adults. [1]
ScienceDaily reported that the lowest risk was linked to drinking roughly six to eight cups of tea per day. Black tea demonstrated more consistent benefits than green tea in the findings. [1]
Researchers found that participants who consumed tea regularly had a reduced risk of developing several vascular diseases compared to non-tea drinkers. [1]
In humans, fluid intake contributes to daily needs and maintains water balance through physiological mechanisms. Non-alcoholic drinks like tea contribute to total intake, which the Institute of Medicine recommends as 3.7 liters per day for adult men and 2.7 liters for adult women from all sources. [3]
