Benefits of Tea for the Elderly
Are you wondering how tea can benefit your elderly loved one? Maybe, you have heard that tea is the best drink for someone to drink when they want to relax. That can be true. However, there are many other benefits of tea for the elderly, as well. Learning about these benefits can motivate you to get your elderly loved one to drink tea more often.
Maintaining and Improving Cognitive Functions
Research shows that tea helps significantly with cognitive functions. Some of the ways that it can help in this area include:
- Reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease or dementia

- Preventing confusion
- Improving focus
- Improving mind sharpness
These are just some ways that drinking tea regularly can help your elderly loved one’s cognitive functions. Green tea is the best for improvement in this area. It may be a good idea for you or a home care provider to give your elderly loved one a cup of this tea whenever you are at their house.
Lowering the Risk of Diabetes and Lowering Cholesterol Levels
Many senior citizens develop diabetes or high cholesterol levels. Both of these conditions can be extremely harmful, especially when not managed properly. However, studies show that elderly people who drink tea on a regular basis have a lower risk of getting both diabetes and cholesterol issues. If you are concerned that your elderly loved one may develop these issues, you should encourage them to drink more tea.
Improving Blood Circulation and Blood Pressure Levels
Does your elderly loved one have blood circulation issues? This could be caused by high blood pressure or another health condition. No matter what the cause may be, it could be helpful to know that drinking tea daily can greatly improve blood circulation and lower blood pressure, too. Black tea is the best option for trying to achieve these results.
Conclusion
If you are thinking about your elderly loved one’s health – specifically in regard to blood pressure, heart health, diabetes, or mental health – you and their home care providers should encourage them to drink more tea. The two best types of tea to improve specific health areas and overall health are green and black tea.
If your elderly loved one doesn’t drink much tea at this point, you may want to help them to get into the habit of drinking it more. Maybe, they can have a cup while they watch the morning news. They may be able to remember to drink tea when they have company in the afternoon.
