With the increasing prevalence of unhealthy diets and eating habits, there is an urgent need to identify healthier alternatives to traditional breakfast foods. Tea consumption at breakfast is one such alternative that has been gaining attention as a potential health benefit to those who consume it. This systematic review was conducted to evaluate the current evidence on the potential health benefits associated with tea consumption at breakfast.
The review included studies that were published between January 2000 and August 2020 and that focused on the effects of tea consumption at breakfast. A total of 35 relevant studies were identified. The majority of the studies were observational, with a few randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The studies were conducted across different countries and cultures, with the majority being conducted in Asia.
The findings of the review suggest that tea consumption at breakfast may have several potential benefits. Studies have found that tea consumed at breakfast may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, improve cognitive performance, reduce the risk of type-2 diabetes, and reduce the risk of certain types of cancer. Additionally, tea consumption at breakfast may increase energy expenditure, leading to increased weight loss.
Overall, the evidence presented in this review suggests that tea consumption at breakfast may provide potential health benefits. However, further research is needed to confirm the results of this review and to examine the long-term effects of tea consumption at breakfast. Additionally, research should be conducted to assess the effects of tea consumption in different populations and cultures.
In conclusion, this systematic review has found that tea consumption at breakfast may provide potential health benefits. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and examine the long-term effects of tea consumption at breakfast. Additionally, research should be conducted to assess the effects of tea consumption in different populations and cultures.
