Erything looks brighter after a cup of tea. But experts says there’s more to it than that. According to a study in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, people who drink tea three or more times a week may live longer and have a lower risk of heart disease and stroke.
It doesn’t stop there. US research says that drinking tea can enhance cognition. It can help to reduce depression and anxiety, claim Singapore studies. And it can cut your risk of type 2 diabetes, say Chinese and Thai scientists.
A study published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology found that tea could lessen your risk of glaucoma and cataracts too. The Health Council of the Netherlands even published guidelines in 2016, recommending people drink between three and five cups a day.
