Benefits of matcha

 

Tea has been considered a good medicine since ancient times, and modern research has now proven its health benefits. Matcha differs from other green teas in that the powdered tea leaves are taken directly into the body, rather than the extract, so the appeal of matcha is that you can also take in water-insoluble nutrients. Even overseas, it is attracting attention as a "superfood" along with chia seeds, acai, and quinoa.

Main benefits of matcha

1. Powerful Antioxidant: Matcha is rich in catechins and polyphenols, which have strong antioxidant properties. These antioxidants help suppress the formation of free radicals in the body, which can cause aging and diseases. Consuming Matcha can contribute to overall health maintenance.

2. Stress Reduction: Matcha has a relaxing effect and can help alleviate mental stress. The amino acid called theanine, found in Matcha, increases alpha waves in the brain, promoting calmness and relaxation.

3. Boosts Metabolism: Matcha contains caffeine and catechins that can help speed up metabolism. This can aid in weight management and enhance fat oxidation, subsequently promoting a healthy metabolism.
