You already know about the benefits of green tea and may be you have heard from different scientist’s reports that green tea has more benefits of black tea. However recent medical researches proved that the black tea has its own health benefits.

Flavonoids are phytonutrients with antioxidant effect. Back tea contains a lot of flavonoids and is a powerful antioxidant. Medical researches of Netherlands National Institute of Public Health have proved that drinking several cups of black tea a day reduces the risk of stroke and heart attack. It minimizes the production of LDL cholesterol that leads to and high blood pressure and hart attack.

You should drink at least 3-4 cups of black tea daily to feel the benefits. Flavonoids can be also taken from fruits and vegetables. The best proportion is about 70% from black tea and 30% from other sources.

Regular drinking of black tea can reduce the heart disease with fifty percents. It is also helpful in recovery after heart attack.
That’s why I highly recommend you to drink black tea every day and do not underestimate its healthy benefits.
