You will keep your cells young
One of the “blue zones” or areas where the longest-lived people in the world live
is the Japanese island of Okinawa. In addition to following a diet rich in seaweed, fresh fish, and vegetables, matcha tea is part of her daily routine. It has been shown to combat inflammation, oxidative stress, and the deterioration of connective tissue.
Its antioxidant levels are unmatched
Matcha tea is one of the richest sources of antioxidants available. One cup contains 137 more antioxidants than a cup of regular green tea, 60.5 times more iron than raw spinach, and 17 times more iron than blueberries.
Prevents cancer
Its richness in polyphenols, specifically catechins, makes this beverage the king of free radical fighters. Of all the catechins, the most active in fighting disease is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which is abundant in matcha tea.
Help in control of weight
The thermogenic properties of matcha tea promote faster and more efficient fat burning, ideal for weight-loss diets. Along with a balanced diet and regular exercise, it's your best ally. Forget diet sodas and switch to matcha.
Detoxify your body
It purifies the body thanks to its chlorophyll content (characteristic of deep green foods). It oxygenates the blood and promotes the expulsion of toxins, so regular consumption promotes beautiful skin and shiny hair.
It will give you energy non-stop
It contains L-theanine, an amino acid found exclusively in the tea plant. This amino acid acts as a barrier against the stimulation caused by caffeine, revitalizing and promoting a long-lasting state of focus and clarity. It reduces blood pressure and improves memory.
It will make you stop feeling swollen
Made from ground green tea leaves, its high fiber content combats constipation. Furthermore, this dietary fiber balances blood glucose and satiates us more than any other stimulant beverage.
