Don’t you hate when someone asks you your age, and when you tell them, they’re almost shocked, because they thought you were older than you are? Shit. Lucky for you, there are plenty of natural, healthy remedies for anti-aging and among those, certain teas are very beneficial! Here are 5 of the best teas for anti-aging: 1. Green tea – The look young, feel young tea! In a Chinese study, they found that those who drank 3 or more cups of green tea showed five fewer years worth of wear and tear on the cells in their bodies. It can also reduce the risk of heart disease and aid in the healthy aging of joints and muscles, especially to avoid knee pain. Green tea is also a great antioxidant and moisturizer, which is great for looking young! 2. White tea – an alternative to green tea and advised by Dr. Oz. It contains similar benefits to green tea but with less caffeine 3. Rooibos tea – Another tea rich in antioxidants, it contains quercetin and aspalathin. This tea is also caffeine free and known for its anti-aging properties. *Side note: quercetin and aspalathin act like antihistamines and anti-inflammatories, which may help protect against heart disease and cancer. 4. Oolong tea – This tea is used to prevent cancer, tooth decay, osteoporosis, and heart disease. It isn’t necessarily an anti-aging tea, but more so a tea that can prolong life through reducing the risk of harmful diseases. 5. Herbal tea – killing many birds with one stone, herbal tea works on many different aspects of your health and mental well-being. For example, things like poor circulation, high blood pressure, and high levels of stress all impact us in a negative manner, which can also lead to wrinkles and blemishes. Herbal tea can lower blood pressure, reduce stress, and increase circulation, thus side-stepping those wrinkles and blemishes! Also a good thing to note is that herbal tea is caffeine free as well! For all you tea drinkers, try incorporating or substituting any one of these teas into your daily consumption and watch the years just fade away ;) |
