Matcha Tea: Miracle Elixir?

Matcha Tea is one of the healthiest green teas available.  This tea, originated in Japan, is made from the tips of shade-grown Camellia sinenses plants.  Natural Matcha tea is considered to be one of the most powerful super foods on the market.

Matcha is high in antioxidants.  These enzymes are responsible for protecting your skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation.  It keeps your skin looking healthy and younger looking! So many people reach towards cosmetic surgery and many moisturizing formulas with different chemicals to help rejuvenate their skin.  If only they started drinking Matcha tea early on in life!!  One single bowl of Matcha consists of 5 times more antioxidants than any other food.

Green tea contains a specific set of organic compounds called catechins.  These compounds have smaller antioxidants within them.  60% of the catechins in Matcha green tea are  epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg).  These EGCg's are well-known for their cancer fighting properties. Scientists have found that Matcha tea contains over 100 times more EGCg's than any other tea on the market.  

Drinking Matcha tea increases a persons metabolism and therefor burns fat four times faster than average.  Matcha does not have many of the negative side effects certain diet pills have like increased heart rate and high blood pressure.  

Your immune system is being strengthened when you consume Matcha tea regularly.  Just one bowl of Matcha consists of large amounts of Potassium, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Iron, Protein, and Calcium.  Science has also done research on how the nutrients in Matcha may have the ability prevent the attacks of HIV on human cells.
