                                         6 Tea’s and their benefits!

Green Tea– Green tea is known for its health-boosting powers to help keep you energized and focused. It
contains antioxidants, which prevent cell damage linked to aging and the development of cancer. Green tea
may also lower cholesterol levels, increase bone density, enhance dental health, and boost metabolism.

Jasmine Tea– Jasmine tea is high in polyphenols, which may help protect against heart disease and stress.
Jasmine tea is typically based on green tea, which is packed with catechins. Catechins are a group of
polyphenols that may help protect against tooth decay — or cavities — by killing plaque-forming bacteria.
Jasmine tea may also lower your risk of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

Chamomile Tea- This gentle variety of tea is most commonly used before bedtime as an effective sleep aid. It
has been used to soothe anxiety, treat insomnia, and calm upset stomachs for centuries. Seniors who have
difficulty going to sleep at night should try drinking a cup of chamomile tea before going to bed because its
mild sedative properties can make sleeping a lot easier.

Ginger Tea- Seniors who have gastrointestinal issues should try ginger tea, which has been used for digestive
relief for centuries. This variety of tea stimulates the gastric juices that are essential to healthy digestion. It
also relaxes the muscles in the gastrointestinal tract, which relieves symptoms like bloating. Seniors with
constipation, stomach cramps, heartburn, or nausea should try drinking a cup of ginger tea before each meal
because it might provide significant relief.

Rosemary Tea– Rosemary Tea is beneficial for seniors, as it has a number of cognitive health benefits. It may
increase peripheral circulation, which helps blood flow freely to the brain and staves off dementia and
Alzheimer’s.
It also contains an antioxidant known as carnosic acid, which protects the neurons in the brain from
damaging toxins. Rosemary tea is a great option for seniors who want to enhance cognitive function and
prevent neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia.

Eucalyptus Tea- Seniors who have asthma or other respiratory conditions should drink a cup of eucalyptus
tea every day. This tea has potent anti-inflammatory properties because eucalyptol, a compound found in
eucalyptus oil, reduces the symptoms associated with respiratory ailments and helps dissolve mucus.
