I have been cutting back on tea recently as I was becoming a little too reliant on the daily caffeine fix to get me through the day. If this article is to be believed, however, perhaps I should be reinstating my daily tea fix. According to the article research has shown that drinking three cups of tea a day can help protect you against heart attacks and strokes. In fact drinking green or black tea can reduce the risk of heart problems by 11%. It seems it works by cutting the build up of plaque in the arteries. Well, I’m convinced, time for a cup of tea.
