Why "Tea and Toast" May Aid Seniors' Health
March 7th 2010

Green tea has known health benefits for people of all ages. High in anti-oxidants, low amount of caffeine, and possessing a chemical known as "catechin polyphenols", the tea has been shown to reduce the risk of cancer, control headaches, assist in maintaining energy level, weight control, and even help with depression.

A recent study of elderly Japanese that compared their symptoms of depression with green tea consumption showed that those individuals that consumed more green tea (over 3 cups a day) tended to have less depression.

The physical, mental and social changes brought about by aging are significant, to say the least. Seniors living at home, or providers caring for them may consider healthy, natural green tea as a possible remedy to changes in well being, physical, mental or emotional.

As a side note, one seniorDECISION partner regularly imbibes green tea for his own benefits and has been encouraging his mother to do so as well!

November 4th 2009

Did you know that over 12 million individuals in the US choose a lifestyle within a senior living setting or involving home health services each year?.

How do these individuals choose a senior living option?

As it happens, as many as 10 million searches are conducted monthly in Google alone for terms like "senior housing" or "nursing home" - this is your target market in action, actively researching senior living and home health options.

However, over 90% of senior housing web sites and Internet Marketing programs fail to attract and convert these consumers by falling short in a number of key criteria that are known to determine success.
