People
consuming four cups of tea or coffee a day have lower blood pressure as
compared to those who don’t, a new study has revealed. However, this
recent study contradicts previous findings that has linked caffeine
intake to high BP or hypertension.
The
French research, conducted over a decade, discovered that heavy tea
drinkers had lower BP, pulse pressure and heart rate than lighter
drinkers.
Scientists also proved in the study that heavy coffee
drinkers had slightly higher BP than normal but non-drinkers had the
highest readings.
Bruno Pannier, the report author from the
Preventive and Clinical Investigations Centre in Paris, said that it was
possible that the flavonoids in tea had a relaxing effect on blood
vessels.
