Millions of people drink cofee and tea ,but we dont know which is good for health? therefore i ask for the benefit of tea or cofee from health or habits reasons ,as many points should be arised.so which one is better or more used?
MY dear Bhawna,i am with you tea is less harmful than coffee,as the last affect heart and its very irritative to stomach .My dear Gupta .i am very happy for your answer .
Tea is also contains these components that affect health,
ea leaf contains carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, full complement of genetic material, enzymes, secondary metabolites, high content of methylxanthins and polyphenols, in particular Catechins (flavanols).
· 25% of dry weight is Catechins
· 3.0% flavonols and flavonol glycosides
· 3.0% are caffeine and 0.2% are theobromine
· “Fermentation” is tea processing simply referring to an enzymatic browning reaction catalyzed by the polyphenol oxidase.
Tea is less harmful ,but researchers still in contrast see. udies on coffee consumption variously claim that coffee harms the arteries, that it protects the heart, or that it has no effect on cardiovascular health. New research on thousands of participants weighs in again on the link between this favorite beverage and heart health.📷 New findings suggest that even heavy coffee drinkers may have nothing to worry about when it comes to cardiovascular health.
Does coffee harm, protect, or have no effect on heart health and the vascular system?
For years, scientists have been trying to answer these questions, since coffee is such a favorite beverage around the world.
While some studies warn that drinking coffee can increase a person's risk of cardiovascular events, others suggest that it can help maintain heart health and blood vessel function.
Some research has suggested that regularly drinking a lot of coffee contributes to aortic stiffness — this is when the aorta, which is the largest blood vessel in the human body, becomes less and less flexible. Aortic stiffness can contribute to the risk of cardiovascular disease.
At the same time, other evidence has indicated that drinking more than three cups of coffee a day can protect against atherosclerosis, a condition in which plaque builds up inside the arteries, preventing blood from flowing normally.
Now, a new study conducted by researchers from the Queen Mary University of London in the United Kingdom has found that even people who drink a significant amount of coffee each day do not experience arterial stiffness, meaning that coffee does not increase their risk of cardiovascular problems in this way.
Lead author Prof. Steffen Petersen and colleagues presented the study's findings yesterday at the annual British Cardiovascular Society (BCS) Conference in Manchester, U.K.
The British Heart Foundation, a registered charity based in the U.K. that supports research about heart and as i said different ideas still in progress ,
Tea is better than coffee because coffee does have modest cardiovascular effects such as high blood pressure, tachycardia, and occasional arrhythmia. Moreover, the excessive intake of coffee may cause spontaneous abortion or impaired foetal growth. Coffee consumption also reduces the iron absorption.
Tea is an important dietary source of flavanols and flavonols .
Tea is a rich source of polyphenolic flavonoids which exhibit potent antioxidant activity in vitro and in vivo . The flavonoid content of tea depends upon the type of tea and preparation method.
