Do you want to protect your heart from diseases? Here is a top 5 healthiest drinks for your heart:
- Water. When body lacks water, the blood becomes thicker, so your heart has to work more to deliver it throughout the body. Over time it can result in some serious problems.
- Green tea. Just like the black tea, it has lots of antioxidants which help to protect your body against inflammatory processes, prevent free radicals, reduce the risk of cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
- Red wine. Red wine has lots of compounds that protect heart, reduce cholesterol level in the blood and prevent formation of thrombus. There are scientific proves that regular consumptions of red wine in small quantities increases the level of “good” cholesterol which protects heart and blood vessels from damage.
- Pomegranate juice. Scientists have proved that pomegranate juice has three times more antioxidants than green tea or red wine. Besides, it has sedative effect, lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow.
- Coffee. Although it has controversial assessments, scientists claim that if you drink coffee sparingly, it will not harm and it is good for health. Studies have shown that coffee reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke by 20-40%.
