We hear so many things that we should do to be healthy, after awhile, we may just tune it all out. Try to stay tuned in as I talk about it again, okay?
Older people, well, we have a lot of concerns, so I thought I would research the subject.
Health is a major concern as we get older and we read so much about cognitive decline.
On Medical News Today it recommends drinking tea, glad to hear it because I drink a lot of tea! Here is part of what they said:
Thanks to its high levels of antioxidants, tea has been linked to a lower risk of diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. However, its potential health benefits may not end there. Researchers have found that regular tea consumption could more than halve the risk of cognitive decline for older adults, particularly for those with a genetic risk of Alzheimer's disease.

New research suggests that regular tea intake could lower the risk of cognitive decline in later life.
Tea is one of the most popular beverages in the United States; in 2015, more than 3.6 billion gallons of tea were consumed in the country, with black tea being the favorite.
The possible health benefits of tea consumption have been well documented. A recent study published in The American Journal of Public Health, for example, associated moderate tea intake with a reduced risk of cardiovascular events.
* In the same article it talks about green tea, which I've come to really like!
Past research has suggested that drinking tea may also have brain benefits, with one study linking green tea consumption to better working memory.

Hot tea has more benefits than iced tea. but according to Prevention very little.
