Slash Stroke Risk With Tea

By Bryon Zirker

Tea can reduce your risk of stroke

which is a very good reason to enjoy

it often.

Studies by the Journal of the American Heart Association observed that drinking 3 cups of either black or green tea's reduced stroke risks by almost 21 percent. This is huge. Drinking three cups daily was the consumption factor.

Drinking even more increases the reduction of stroke risk. Research has narrowed this effect to an amino acid called theanine.

Keep in mind that most tea's are high in fluoride, make sure that you select a fluoride free brand of tea such as Body Ecology's Green Tea Extract or just go out and get some theanine at your local supplement store. Try 60-120 mg, which is what was seen in the study group.
