Coffee vs. hibiscus tea during long sitting: effects on blood pressure and heart rate
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares how drinking coffee or hibiscus tea affects blood pressure and heart rate in healthy young adults who sit for long periods. It aims to see if one drink is better for your heart health during sedentary time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
