Published: October 21, 2026 at 8:36a.m. EDTMy morning routine isn’t complete without two calming yet energizing cups of green tea. Not only is a cup of tea highly enjoyable, but it has long been associated with health benefits, including a lower risk of heart disease, stroke and dementia. Now, a new study published Wednesday in the Journal of Internal Medicine suggests that how people prepare and drink their tea could also influence their cardiovascular health. Over an average follow-up of about nine years, researchers documented more than 14,800 cases of diseases affecting the heart and blood vessels, such as heart attacks, strokes and peripheral artery disease, which involves narrowing of arteries supplying blood to the arms and legs. Researchers analyzed data from more than 485,000 Chinese adults ages 30 to 79. Participants reported their tea-drinking habits, including how frequently they drank tea, what type they preferred, how strong they brewed it, and how hot they drank it. To help us understand the findings and what they mean for heart health, I spoke with CNN wellness expert Dr. Leana Wen.

Open this photo in gallery:Julie Van Rosendaal/The Globe and MailWhen artist, zinester and writer Sonali Menezes found herself struggling with mental illness, disordered eating and, as she puts it, the crushing weight of capitalism, she practised self-care by feeding herself well. In 2022, her efforts turned into a zine (a self-published, hand-produced mini-magazine) called Depression Cooking. From her home in Hamilton, Menezes printed hundreds of copies at a time, enlisting friends and family to help collate, fold, staple, package and mail them around the world. Now a full-fledged book, Depression Cooking: Feeding Yourself When It All Feels Too Hard contains 25 chapters of stories, life lessons and recipes, with endearing titles (Cooking as an Excuse to Listen to Music and If the Anti-Diet God Exists, She Will Test You), each focused on a challenging time in her life, when food seemed more enemy than ally. “Depression Cooking is intended to be a tool to support and comfort,” she writes.

Women welcome annual check for debilitating condition27 minutes agoShehnaz Khanin BirminghamBBCNeelam Heera-Shergill founded charity Cysters to provide support she felt was missing after her diagnosisWhen Neelam Heera-Shergill was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) at the age of 18, she feared it could one day stop her becoming a mother. "I'm never going to have children. That's it, my life is over," she said. The condition affects about one in eight women in the UK, yet despite its broad impact on health and wellbeing, Neelam, from Birmingham, said she was left with little understanding of what her diagnosis really meant. It is one of the reasons she supports the decision to rename PCOS to polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) earlier this year, alongside a recommendation for annual health checks to improve diagnosis and long-term care. For Neelam, finding out she had the condition sent her into what she described as a "rabbit hole" of fear and uncertainty. Not long after beginning university, she started experiencing irregular and painful periods, thinning hair, weight gain and exhaustion.
