Cardiovascular disease (CVD) refers to all diseases relating to the circulatory system. Most cardiovascular diseases relate to coronary heart disease (heart attacks) and cerebrovascular disease (stroke) as well as heart failure and arterial disease.Tea reduces the risk of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) by:
Inhibiting the oxidation of Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) or “bad” cholesterol which can lead to clogged arteries
Inhibiting platelet aggregation and adhesion in blood that can lead to unwanted clotting
Reducing blood lipid levels
Protect and improve blood vessel dilation and arterial elasticity
Lowering blood pressure by inhibiting angiotension-converting enzyme (ACE) and suppresses angiotensin II which is a vascular constrictor
A natural source of potassium, which keeps the heart beating
