Dietitian Karen Greca has revealed the name of a beneficial drink that helps reduce the risk of heart disease.
Modern.az reports that the expert spoke about this in an interview with "Eating Well" publication.
According to her, green tea is one of the most effective means of protection against heart diseases.
Greca stated that this drink contains plant-based antioxidants called catechins. These substances help to significantly reduce the levels of total and "bad" cholesterol.
In addition, antioxidants have a general anti-inflammatory effect on the p, which supports the health of the cardiovascular system.
"Catechins in green tea have a strong antioxidant effect - they neutralize free radicals, bind aggressive metals and reduce the intensity of harmful oxidative reactions," added Karen Greca.
The dietitian noted that all these processes maintain the elasticity and health of blood vessels.
