Matcha green tea contains an abundance of a certain class of chemicals called polyphenols, it is rich in anti-oxidants and has an anti-inflammatory effect. Recent research demonstates that green tea may have certain heart health benefits. In many ways, matcha is a superfood and super beverage. Matcha is full of living enzymes and beneficial nutrients. The Daoists in ancient China called green tea the “elixir of immortality.” It has been believed for thousands of years that matcha green tea can fight the effects of aging and increase longevity. All of our matcha is vacuum sealed at the time of manufacture to ensure that the living nutrients stay fresh during shipping.
Here is what Dr. Andrew Weil, one of the world’s most famous experts on natural medicine, has to say about matcha green tea:
“In addition to providing trace minerals and vitamins (A, B-complex, C, E, and K), matcha is rich in catechin polyphenols – compounds with high antioxidant activity. These compounds offer protection against many kinds of cancer, help prevent cardiovascular disease and slow the aging process. They also reduce harmful cholesterol in the blood, stabilize blood sugar levels, help reduce high blood pressure and enhance the resistance of the body to many toxins. The most important polyphenol in matcha is EGCG (epigallo-catechin gallate), which is the subject of many medical studies. Matcha has a significant amount of dietary fiber and practically no calories.”
Because matcha is also excellent or the skin we consider matcha to be an anti-aging superfood. One cup of our Living Qi organic matcha is equivalent to about 10 cups of regular green tea. If you want to help soften your skin, prevent wrinkles, lose fat, help normalize blood pressure and assure a healthy heart, try drinking a cup of matcha once a day. Also, matcha is a great beverage for detoxifying your liver. I recommend it to all my patients as an anti-aging beverage, a beverage that promotes energy and longevity. Matcha is know to increase a peron’s sense of well-being and vitality.
