Black Tea Lowers Blood Pressure

Black Tea Lowers Blood Pressure. Already hundreds of years of tea is believed to be nutritious drink for health. Lately, that is so popular is because green tea is rich in antioxidants. However, recent studies reveal the efficacy of black tea instead.

A new study from the University of Rochester Medical Center, showed that black tea does not increase blood pressure or hypertension. On the contrary, this tea may help lower blood pressure.

Research results in the Archives of Internal Medicine, examined the effects after drinking three cups of black tea a day for six months. The researchers found that consumption of black tea, may reduce 2 to 3 points in blood pressure at the time of the measurement of mercury blood pressure monitor.

A researcher and professor of the division of cardiology at the University of Rochester Medical Center, Dr John D. Bisognano, said "Due to reductions in blood pressure is small, it is difficult to say that black tea has great benefits for people suffering from hypertension."

However, this study shows that in people who suffer from high blood pressure, 31% of the food you eat will affect his physical condition. As quoted by CNN, people who suffer from high blood pressure should maintain their health and do not aggravate the condition by drinking alcohol.

Bisognano adds, black tea has a small benefit for blood pressure, and other types of tea may have the same benefits for blood pressure. In the previous study in the Journal Phytomedicine suggest that hibiscus tea can help lower blood pressure, according to the Bastyr Center for Natural Health.

Meanwhile Bisognano also stressed that the drug used to treat blood pressure is an important step to help people to control their blood pressure. In addition to tea, some relaxation like yoga can also help lower high blood pressure.
