image of The Impact of Tea Consumption on Cardiovascular Health

Abstract

Tea is a popular beverage that comprises various antioxidants. Tea is the second most consumed beverage in the world after water. The three ideal types of tea include black, white, and green teas. Catechin, Epicatechin gallate, and Epicatechin are the striped flavonoids coeval in the tea. These flavonoids are freed as a rich source for blood circulation in the heart. Tea possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-neoplastic, anti-arthritic, anti-thrombotic, antimicrobial, anti-platelet aggregation, anti-cholesterol, anti-hyperglycemic, and immuno-protective properties. Modern empowering research studies contemplate that minimal consumption of tea can also be of advantage to the cardiovascular system (CVS) as it modulates oxidative stress. Consumption of tea is beneficial for cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, aortic aneurysms, peripheral artery disease, stroke, ischemic heart disease, and cardiomyopathy. Consumption of excess tea may also be detrimental to health, and we highlight different types of tea. The main aim of the present narrative review is to highlight the natural compounds present in tea and discuss their mechanism of action on the cardiovascular system. Based on evidence gathered from published literature, it is thereby concluded that tea is a popular drink with potential cardiovascular health benefits.
