Uses of matcha tea for pregnant women
In a study published in Scientific Reports, researchers found that the use of matcha tea containing catechin such as epigallocatechin gallate is safe during pregnancy. Here are some uses of matcha tea for pregnant women.
Rich in antioxidants Matcha contains many catechin, especially epigallocatechin gallate, which helps fight oxidation and protect cells in the body.
During pregnancy, these antioxidants can help strengthen the immune system and protect fetal development.
Providing energy
Unlike coffee, matcha can provide stable and sustained energy due to the combination of caffeine and L-theanine. Matcha tea helps fight pregnancy fatigue without causing the body to fall into a state of anxiety or increase heart rate.
Support digestion Pregnancy can slow down digestion, leading to bloating and constipation.
The polyphenols in matcha tea can support digestion and intestinal health, reduce bloating and promote regular bowel movements.
