Green tea is good for your heart- again!

There is indeed a beneficial effect of green tea on risk factors for heart disease.  A new study found that the consumption of green tea rapidly improves the function of  endothelial cells lining the circulatory system which is big news in the progression of atherosclerosis.

Results showed that endothelium-dependent brachial artery dilatation increased significantly after drinking green tea, with a peak increase of 3.9 per cent 30 minutes after consumption.
