found that regular consumption of tea lowers the risk of cognitive decline in the elderly by 50%, while APOE e4 gene carriers who are genetically at risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease may experience a reduction in cognitive impairment risk by as much as 86%.” Your Mood Tea leaves contain the amino acid L-theanine, which stimulates several feel-good neurotransmitters, like serotonin and gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA). These neurotransmitters help boost your mood and alertness. According to a study by the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China, tea even has the ability to ward off depression. The study took 22,817 participants with 4,743 cases of depression over 11 studies, and 13 reports found that individuals who drank three cups of tea a day decreased their depression risk by 37%.

Help Anytime, for However Long
So, the next time you want a warm beverage that will do your mind and body good, reach for some tea and bask in all the health benefits as you sip.
In a world where everyone has a busy schedule and the medical conditions of our elderly loved ones can be precarious, BrightStar created a 24-hour hotline at (630) 260-5300 for any questions you may have. BrightStar also has open office hours on Saturdays. At the same time, our highly qualified field staff members are available to help you care for your loved ones. Do you just need a caregiver to pop over to your house for an hour or so? Our field staff can do that. Do you have an aging loved one with a chronic condition that requires around-the-clock care? BrightStar offers 24-hour assistance for Alzheimer’s care, transitional and companion care, and many others. Each of BrightStar’s patients is different, so we don’t just offer cookie-cutter care to help them along. Our Nurse Case Manager develops a care plan to suit your loved one’s medical needs, schedule, and living environment. Then, our nursing staff will regularly check back in with patients and families to see how that care plan can be improved if need be. Not only will we develop a plan — we’ll give you the tools to help carry it out! Our registered nurses will assist you and your loved ones with health education and skill training, medication administration, vitals assessments, and more. However, while these skills can help you better care for your loved ones, they’re no replacement for the expertise of our in-home care teams. If you or a loved one have received care through BrightStar Care, we want to thank you for trusting us and giving us the opportunity to help you take care of your family.
