Chinanews.com, May 9-according to foreign media reports, Japanese studies have found that drinking more coffee and green tea can help reduce the risk of death from a variety of serious diseases. The National Cancer Research Center of Japan issued a communique on the 7th, according to a 19-year follow-up survey by its research team, confirming that drinking more coffee and green tea can reduce the risk of death. and can reduce the risk of death from cancer and a variety of serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Based on a group of people who drank less than one cup of green tea a day, the team found that men who drank more than five cups of green tea a day had a 13 per cent lower risk of death, while women had a 17 per cent lower risk of death. They also found that the risk of death decreased further with the increase in green tea intake. In terms of causes of death, the survey shows that drinking more green tea does not help reduce the risk of dying from cancer, but does help reduce the risk of dying from heart disease. As for cerebrovascular and respiratory diseases, only men who drink green tea for a long time have a lower risk.

Researchers at the center believe that the reason why green tea intake can reduce the risk of death from heart disease may be related to the role of catechins in green tea. Catechins are thought to improve blood pressure, body fat and lipids.

In addition, according to the number of times the subjects drank coffee, the team divided them into five groups: "hardly drink coffee" to "drink more than five cups of coffee a day". The group who drank three to four cups of coffee a day had the largest reduction in the risk of death, by 24%. The survey also shows that drinking more coffee can reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and respiratory diseases.
