Drinking black tea may cut blood pressure
People who enjoy drinking black tea throughout the day may get the added benefit of a slight reduction in their blood pressure, suggests a new Australian study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. At the end of the study, researchers have seen that the tea drinkers' systolic blood pressure — the top number — fell 2 mmHg, and their diastolic blood pressure also fell about 2 mmHg. While a drop in blood pressure is generally good, a 2 mmHg drop is not significant enough to bring a person with high blood pressure out of the danger zone.
