The beverage that fights stroke

The artery-friendly polyphenols in green tea reduce risk of heart disease

You can blow the whistle on "brain attacks" by turning on your teapot. That's right. If you've got green tea brewing in there, it's one celestial seasoning that can help you live longer. If you drink enough, you just might lower your risk of dying from a stroke by up to 42 per cent!
Holy Teacup, Batman
In a large study of women, those who sipped at least five cups of green tea a day had a 42 per cent lower risk of death due to stroke, compared with women who drank less than one cup a day. Other research shows that just two 227 gram cups of tea daily can dramatically reduce the risk of dying from heart disease — most likely because of the arteryfriendly polyphenols in tea.
