A daily cup of tea could help you live longer – dreams can come true!

Here is the news that will be welcomed by Irish people all over the world – drinking a daily cup of tea could help you live longer.

Medical Journal Advances in Nutrition published a report that found people who consume 2-3 cup of green or black tea every day lowered their risk of heart disease by between 8 and 12%, in comparison to non-tea drinkers.

Broadly speaking, that means for each cup of tea drank, your risk is reduced by 4%.

The study also found that the benefits are most prevalent in people over the age of 60.

A cuppa is the go-to move for Irish people when faced with any event in life. Bad news? Console yourselves with a cuppa. Good news? Celebrate with a nice cup of tea and a biscuit. Problem to solve? You will think more clearly after a cup of tea. You get the idea…

So, we all know what to do next…
