Avoid Milk Tea
 

Milk tea is very much popular than black or green tea. But adding milk to black tea destroys its ability to protect against heart disease. Drinking black tea significantly helps the arteries to relax and expand to keep blood pressure healthy. Catechin is a component of tea which is responsible for this beneficial effect by stimulating the production of chemical nitric oxide. But animal milk contains proteins called casein. These proteins bind to the catechins, reducing their concentration and effectiveness. Milk may affect the antioxidant potential of tea. Black tea is more helpful than milk tea. So avoid milk tea and take black or green tea to be healthy.
