Minimize Aging…By Drinking Tea…
Seriously?...Tea is Antiaging?...
Actually…Yes. The amazing properties of tea can mitigate the factors that lead to accelerated aging.
We cannot stop aging, but we can do things to minimize aging and maximize longevity, leading to improved quality of life through healthy lifestyle choices.
What IS aging….?
Aging is the slow accumulation of cellular damage due to a decreasing ability to repair it…
This results in low-level Inflammation, highly characteristic of aging, and oxidative stress, a condition in which free radicals overpower the body's internal antioxidant system…
Our Lives are complex and unique…each containing its own culmination of events, conditions, habits, and experiences…some of which can contribute to aging...
Factors Leading To Accelerated Aging:
-Inflammation...
-Oxidative Stress/Free Radical Damage...
-Sun Exposure...
-Smoking...
-A Diet Rich in Simple Carbohydrates and Low in Protein...
-A Diet Low in Fresh Fruit and Vegetables
-Genetics
-Stress
-Poor Sleep Patterns
-Alcohol & Drugs
-Body Weight
-Life Choices…Good & Bad…
How can tea help me?...
By creating a foundation…of longevity…
Detoxifying the body and preserving the mind…
Throughout history, tea has been thought to purify the body and cleanse the mind…it was said that tea was 10,000 medicines. Research done in recent decades has now begun to unlock the mystery of tea and health, supporting Tea's Ancient Health Claims.
When it comes to antiaging benefits, tea helps us through two beneficial channels…
Both the psychological and physiological aspects of tea play invaluable roles in our quest to minimize aging and maximize wellbeing & longevity. Psychologically, the look, smell, and feel of tea reassure us of the value in consuming and enjoying it…a satisfaction in our wise choice to use tea to support our natural systems. The simple act of consuming healthy tea triggers a release of our happy hormone, Dopamine, which can trigger beneficial chemical reactions in our bodies…even before taking our first sip.
The process grows in intensity as we sip and savor our favorite teas, bringing home the gratification and continued positive reinforcement for rewarding our systems with the tea…
Our bodies react to this sensation with a sense of calm, a release of anxiety, and a counterbalance to stresses that can be lingering somewhere in our thoughts.

Tea delivers immediate antiaging-related benefits by improving quality of life and facilitating beneficial feelings, leading to stress mitigation and management.
Stress management is directly correlated with and critical to longevity…
Stress Effects Combine To:
-Decimate The Gut...
-The Gut Produces Inflammation...
-Inflammation Weakens Immunity...
-Weakened Immunity Shortens Telomeres...
-Shorter Telomeres Create An Opening For Cancer and Accelerate Aging...
Telomeres, caps on our DNA chains that prevent unraveling, which results in the shortening of DNA chains, are damaged with overproduction of the stress hormone Cortisol. Extended periods or regular, intense occurrences of stress can lead to excess Cortisol production.
The psychological benefits of tea can be a valuable part of your ability to manage daily life stressors and the overproduction of Cortisol.
But with tea, way more Tea Goodness is going on inside our bodies…the bioactive compounds...
Physiologically, there is a concurrent but longer-lasting reaction to tea within our body where bioactive compounds with specific cellular targets support our natural cardiovascular, chemopreventive, metabolic, neuroprotective, and other systems. This powerful ability allows tea to help us in countless ways…like 10,000 medicines...including antiaging.
Tea helps in many ways...
Stress can prematurely age us by damaging Telomeres…in addition to antiaging, tea can create calm, reduce stress, reduce chromosome damage, reduce free radical damage, improve immunity, memory, bone and skin health, and sleep quality…plus much more…
Drinking tea can be antiaging and improve longevity...
Powerful antioxidants help reduce and control inflammation, reduce oxidative stress by reducing free radical damage, prevent and reduce the risk of diseases, and improve cardiovascular health, all of which can have beneficial, antiaging effects…
Tea Helps:
-Manage stress, reducing DNA damage, the primary cause of accelerated aging & disease, by protecting telomeres
-Reduce free radical damage and oxidative stress with powerful antioxidants
-Control weight by increasing metabolism
-Improve heart health through cholesterol reduction
-Prevent bacterial growth with antimicrobial properties
-Improve cognitive function and lower the risk of cognitive impairment and decline
Tea is preventative, restorative, and regenerative. It facilitates emotional calm, which mitigates stress and creates wellbeing, contributing to our antiaging quest by leading to longevity and enhanced quality of life.
Which teas should you drink to minimize aging?...
The tea plant, Camellia sinensis, is good for a plethora of things...10,000 medicines...but as the leaves oxidize (change from green to brown, creating the spectrum of white to black teas), there is somewhat of a shift in the benefits.
So, while all teas have many benefits, different tea types have certain strengths:
Unoxidized teas, the whites and greens, have strengths for immunity, cognitive performance, neurological strength, help prevent autoimmune function, and are great for alkalinity.
Heavily oxidized teas like dark and black teas have particular strengths for digestive health, cardiovascular health, artery health, brain health, blood fat, and cholesterol...
Our recommendation is to enjoy a variety of high-quality teas to experience the pleasure of outstanding teas and take advantage of tea's antiaging properties and the wide range of benefits the plant can provide at varying oxidation levels.
