Black tea with vanilla is a good home remedy to supplement Alzheimer's treatment because the caffeine in this tea acts as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, protecting the brain cells. That way, caffeine helps prevent Alzheimer's as well as slow it down in individuals already diagnosed with the disease.
However, in Alzheimer's patients, this home remedy does not exclude the need for medications prescribed by the doctor, although it may help in the control.
Ingredients
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 black tea bag
- 1 vanilla bean
Method of preparation
Add the black tea sachet to the boiling water and let stand for 5 minutes. Next, add the vanilla to flavor the tea and take it when it is warm, sweetening to taste. This tea should be taken 2 times a day.
Another way to harness caffeine for Alzheimer's prevention is to take green tea or 3 cups of coffee throughout the day. In addition, to prevent illness it is recommended to keep the mind active by making games such as sudoku or hunting words, exercise regularly and eat healthy.
