Tea & Aging
Although I am only in my 20s, the process of biological aging and how it affects people differently has always fascinated me. When you are young, you are often focused on living life rather than how you age. However, as my mom always told me, “What you do when you are younger matters not now, but when you are older.” As I get older, I have started to consider how my decisions today are affecting the way I age.
In modern times, many people turn to Botox, fillers, plastic surgery, and fancy serums to reverse the effects of aging, often overlooking natural remedies. Looking younger is one thing, but feeling younger is another. With this in mind, I decided to research natural ways to support healthy aging. During my research, I discovered that tea can aid in the process of biological aging, which led me to investigate how tea affects aging.
While tea is recognized for a variety of health benefits, one of them is slowing aging. The journal The Lancet Regional Health- Western Pacific shared that frequent tea drinkers exhibited slower signs of aging. So you may be wondering, what ingredient in tea slows biological aging? The answer is polyphenols. Polyphenols, the primary bioactive substances in tea, are plant compounds that act as antioxidants. These anti-aging benefits of polyphenols inhibit neuroinflammation and prevent degenerative effects in the brain by interacting with intestinal microbiota to potentially keep the brain younger.
If you want to drink tea for its anti-aging properties, some of the best options are hibiscus, chamomile, peppermint, and ginger. At 50Cups, we offer Refresher Tea (which includes hibiscus), Immune Booster (which includes peppermint), Destress Tea (which includes chamomile), and Detox Tea (which includes ginger).
