Full of antioxidants
Antioxidants are chemical compounds that help neutralize harmful free radicals by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in the body. These free radicals are often linked to chronic health conditions such as diabetes.
Matcha is rich in antioxidants, which help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. They are particularly beneficial in fighting inflammation and supporting the immune system.
Stable and long lasting energy
Matcha also contains caffeine. However, unlike coffee, it can provide a sudden boost of energy followed by a crash when the caffeine wears off.
Matcha ensures a sustained energy boost, helping to maintain long-lasting energy levels without rapid spikes and crashes. Additionally, matcha allows drinkers to enjoy a more gradual and steady release of energy. This can help maintain focus, attention, and productivity for longer periods of time.
Promote calmness
People often drink coffee to increase mental focus. However, when doing so, they also risk increased anxiety and stress due to the higher caffeine content.
Matcha may be a healthier option because it can also increase mental focus, but at the same time, help you relax. This effect is due to L-theanine, an amino acid found in matcha. L-theanine promotes a state of calm and mental clarity by increasing the production of alpha waves in the brain, which are associated with a relaxed yet alert state.
Healthier for Acid Sufferers
The acidity in the beverage can irritate the stomach lining and increase acid reflux or discomfort, especially for those with sensitive stomachs. Matcha is less acidic than coffee, which reduces the likelihood of health problems.
Benefits for heart health
Matcha contains antioxidants, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a catechin found to maintain healthy arteries, thereby lowering blood pressure, reducing cholesterol levels and reducing arterial stiffness.
