5 Reasons Why I Always Suggest Matcha To My Clients:
Bianca Kamhi, Holistic Health & Accountability Coach
Routine is everything. I preach to my clients the importance of adding healthy, delicious drinks and foods into a daily routine in order to maintain optimal health. Matcha has always been at the top of my suggestion list. The health benefits are endless, there are no negative side effects and it is easy to make. Here are 5 reasons why I always suggest matcha to my clients…and why my clients love matcha!
1. Matcha is High in Antioxidants
1 cup of matcha has as many antioxidants as 10 cups of brewed green tea! Matcha is filled with powerful and necessary antioxidants such as EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), Catechins, and theanine. EGCG can speed up your metabolism and improve blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Catechins are believed to help prevent cell damage. Theanine is a powerful mood-booster, increasing your levels of dopamine, serotonin, and other important chemicals. This can also help ease anxiety, blood pressure, and may provide mental clarity.
2. Matcha can help fight acne
The amount of EGCG found in matcha can lower the production of sebum oil in your skin and will decrease inflammation. The tea will help to regulate and protect the oil on the skin from oxidizing, clogging pores and creating unwanted acne. Aside from drinking matcha, you’ll even notice that faces masks you can buy on the market may contain matcha as an ingredient. Homemade matcha facemarks are also a great option!
3. Matcha creates a calm alertness
Unlike the caffeine you would intake from coffee, there are no spikes and crashes correlated to drinking matcha. The alertness comes on gently and leaves just as gently. This is thanks to the amount of L-theanine found in Matcha. This amino acid increases alertness without causing the the crash afterwards. The L-theanine increases the “feel-good” chemicals in your brain, which helps with improved mood, memory, and concentration.
4. Matcha helps you lose weight
Matcha help speed up metabolism to increase energy and boost fat burning. Studies have shown that the powder has significantly lowered body mass index (BMI), body weight and weight circumference, if added to a healthy lifestyle.
5. Its simple and easy to prepare
It takes just a few moments to whisk the matcha powder in order to make a delicious homemade matcha tea latte, especially if you have the right tools! You can also throw the powder into just about anything….oatmeal, yogurt, smoothies, baked goods… you name it!
