"Black tea lowers high blood pressure and protects against hypertension".
Medianews.az reports that this was stated by doctor Brentli-Lopes.
He explained that the polyphenols in tea improve the function of blood vessels, and also reduce both good and bad cholesterol, thereby reducing the risk of atherosclerosis. The doctor added that the caffeine in black tea may slightly increase blood pressure, but overall reduces the risk of hypertension by 10%.
He recommended drinking plain black tea to protect against hypertension and stroke.
