Matcha Green Tea – Super Antioxidant?

The health benefits of one cup of Matcha green tea are much the same as drinking 10 cups of regular tea with regards to the actual catechins and antioxidants. Much of this dramatic increase is due to the fact that with Matcha, you are ingesting the entire (ground) tea leaf as opposed to drinking water infused with the tea leaf, (as with other teas). There are a variety of renowned cancer fighting catechins which can only be found in green teas.
Furthermore Matcha, because of the way it is grown, is also rich in chlorophyll, which is known for its wound-healing, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant properties. That makes Matcha great when it comes to removing toxins from the body. Matcha is truly rich in Chlorophyll, a well-known cleaning compound. Chlorophyll is actually the pigment that provides leaves with their green color and it helps you to get rid of heavy metals and other chemical toxins from your body.
Perhaps because Matcha teas are ground and powdered teas and are therefore fully consumed, (in contrast to other tea leaves that are infused and then later thrown away), and also because Matcha is grown in the shade before it is harvested, (a procedure that boosts the chlorophyll content within the leaves), Matcha Green Tea is one of the best chlorophyll rich foods available.
But the health benefits of Matcha Green Tea don’t stop with Chlorophyll and catechins, Matcha also has EGCGs. EGCGs can be found in all green teas; however current studies have shown that not all green teas are the same when it comes to actual content of EGCGs. And this is where the exceptional health benefits of Matcha really shine – Research has revealed that the actual amount of EGCGs in Matcha green tea is 137 times that of standard, non-Matcha green tea.
Matcha tea is an excellent and delicious way to obtain antioxidants. It is significantly higher in antioxidants than many vegetables, gojiberries, pomegranates, and even blueberries. Antioxidants have been shown to help slow the signs of aging and even to help prevent cancer and other diseases. Matcha can even help speed up your metabolism, helping you to shed unwanted weight easier. When consumed regularly, Matcha can help reduce cholesterol as well.
Matcha Green tea can be consumed as a hot or cold tea and can even be used in baking and other cooking. Try it now!
