The study, carried out by researchers at the University of East Anglia (UEA), analysed dietary habits of 171,940 women aged between 25 and 55 for more than three decades. Results showed that both tea and citrus fruits had the capacity to lower the risk of developing the disease, the Daily Express reported. But women who drank two cups of tea a day, had one-third reduced less risk of developing ovarian cancer. Also Read - Can eating applesauce protect against chronic disease?

Lead researcher, Prof Aedin Cassidy said their research showed that women who ate foods like tea, citrus fruits that high in flavonoids had a significant lowered risk of ovarian cancer. Flavonoids are powerful compounds having potent cancer-fighting properties. A few cups of tea, especially black tea, every day, could lower the risk by 31 %.

The research was the first to broadly examine the six major flavonoid subclasses present in the normal diet with ovarian cancer risk, and the first to investigate the impact of polymers and anthocyanins. Earlier in 2012, researchers from the Curtin University in Perth, Australia, had found that drinking tea from an earlier age could slash the risk of ovarian cancer in old age.

Here are some of the key health benefits that scientists reckon tea drinking can have on the body:

  • Tea reduces the risk of heart disease Tea can potentially improve the blood flow around the body, by widening key arteries and reducing the risk of clots. Tea also contains antioxidants called flavonoids , which may slow down the onset and risk of heart disease.
  • Tea hydrates the body Although water is the prime fluid for rehydrating the body after exercise or a long day in the office, some scientists believe that drinking tea could be equally useful. Although high in caffeine, tea is still great for hydration as it provides a rich and flavoursome source of water.
  • Tea prevents tooth decay Believe it or not, a regular supply of tea can really strengthen your teeth and lower the risk of tooth decay. Tea is a great source of fluoride, which can bolster tooth enamel. The antioxidants contained within a cuppa have also been known to fight against bacteria and gum disease. So get slurping!
