Global research co-led by the University of Galway (Ireland), in collaboration with McMaster University Canada and an international network of stroke researchers, analysed the INTERSTROKE stroke research project.
This is a large international study that aims to provide useful information on how to reduce the risk of stroke.
Drinking more than 7 glasses of water a day (8 ounces per glass) actually helps reduce the risk of stroke caused by blood clots
Specifically, two studies were included: One looked at the impact of carbonated soft drinks, fruit juices, and water on stroke risk. The second study analyzed the impact of tea and coffee consumption on this risk.
Both studies included nearly 27,000 participants from 27 countries, including nearly 13,500 who had had a first stroke.
The results found that the effects of different types of drinks on stroke risk were as follows:
Water: Drinking more than seven glasses of water a day (8 ounces per glass) actually helps reduce the risk of stroke caused by blood clots, according to medical website Medical Express.
Tea: Drinking tea reduces the risk of stroke by 18 - 20%. 3 - 4 cups of black tea (240 ml per cup) per day reduces the risk of stroke by 29%. And 3 - 4 cups of green tea per day reduces the risk of stroke by 27%.
However, adding milk to tea may reduce or block the beneficial effects of the antioxidants in tea and negate the stroke-preventing effects of tea.
Drinking 3-4 cups of black tea a day reduces the risk of stroke by 29%.
Coffee: Results found that drinking less than 4 cups of coffee a day did not increase the risk of stroke. However, drinking more than 4 cups of coffee a day may increase the risk of stroke.
Carbonated drinks : Carbonated soft drinks and carbonated drinks with artificial or no sugar increase the risk of stroke by 22%, and this risk increases sharply if you drink 2 or more drinks a day.
Bottled fruit juice: Use a lot This drink increases the risk of stroke by 37%, according to Medical Express.
Lead researcher Professor Andrew Smyth, from Galway University, said: “While fresh fruit juice is more likely to provide benefits, bottled juice made from concentrate, which is high in added sugar and preservatives, may negate the benefits of fresh fruit and may increase the risk of stroke. The study also found that the risk of stroke increased with more frequent consumption of fizzy drinks.
Professor Smyth advised people to avoid or limit their consumption of fizzy drinks and bottled fruit juices and consider switching to drinking plain water instead.
