Much like dark chocolate, black tea is another excellent source of polyphenols that can give your circulation a significant boost. While green tea often gets the spotlight, studies have shown that black tea is also incredibly effective. Italian researchers studying older individuals with poor circulation found that drinking two cups of black tea per day for a month caused a significant increase in the number of circulating stem cells. These are the very cells needed to repair and maintain healthy blood vessels. The study confirmed this benefit by measuring flow-mediated dilation, which showed a tremendous improvement in blood vessel function after the month of tea drinking. However, there is a crucial catch: you must drink it plain. The researchers did a follow-up experiment where they added dairy (in the form of whipped cream) to the tea. The result? The stem cell-boosting effect was completely blunted. The fats in dairy bind to the beneficial polyphenols in the gut, preventing your body from absorbing them. So, to get the full circulatory benefits, enjoy your black tea without milk or cream. A splash of lemon or a non-dairy milk like oat or soy
