Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Fruits and vegetables are known to be cardio-protective. The beneficial role of tea, brewed from the leaves of the evergreen plant, Camellia sinensis, has been the subject of increasing scientific investigation. Tea is abundant in beneficial bioactive compounds that exhibit anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, anti-platelet, anti-vasoconstriction and anti-proliferative effects. They help attenuate cardiovascular risk factors and reduce cardiovascular events and cardiovascular mortality. This article briefly reviews the evidence based studies confirming this inverse relationship between tea consumption and cardiovascular disease.
