Black tea helps artery dilation

While black tea is still the most popular tea at Tea Blossom, a recent study was completed by doctors at the Boston University School of Medicine which found that drinking black tea has a significant effect on artery dilation. The ability of arteries to dilate, or expand, is important to the maintenance of normal blood pressure and blood circulation.

How can the consumption of black tea protect against heart disease? The researchers found that Black tea contains flavonoids, antioxidants linked to the reduction of low-density lipoproteins (LDL), the so-called bad cholesterol, in the blood.    However, according to Dr. Vita, one probably has to keep drinking the tea to enjoy its benefits. “Flavonoids have a short life,” Vita says. “You need to continuously ingest these kinds of foods for effect.”
