Research
Green tea, coffee may lower stroke risk
Recent research indicates green tea and coffee may help lower the risk of having a stroke.
This was especially true when both are a regular part of your diet, according to research published in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association.
“This is the first large-scale study to examine the combined effects of both green tea and coffee on stroke risks,” said Yoshihiro Kokubo, M.D., lead author of the study at Japan's National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, in a release from the American Heart Association.
“You may make a small but positive lifestyle change to help lower the risk of stroke by adding daily green tea to your diet.”
