One day I tried matcha and now I crave it every day. It was an instant addiction. Aside from having such an addictive taste and the caffeine boost, matcha has so many incredible benefits for your health and your skin. It’s definitely a much healthier replacement to coffee, which while also much needed sometimes- is not really good for you.

Some of the benefits of matcha:

ANTIOXIDANTS

Matcha contains exponentially higher amounts of antioxidants compared to all fruits and vegetables. The antioxidant value of ceremonial grade matcha is 1,384. To put this into perspective, acai berries have an antioxidant value of 55, blueberries have a score of 93, and dark chocolate has a score of 227. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals in the body that contribute to aging. They literally keep your body looking and feeling young.

DETOXIFICATION

Matcha’s color is due to its abundant chlorophyll content, which is known to be a natural detoxifier. It regenerates and cleanses the body at the molecular and cellular level by oxygenating your blood which thereby improves the quality of your skin and overall radiance. Matcha also contains dietary fiber, another detoxifying agent.

MENTAL HEALTH

Matcha contains an amino-acid called L-Theanine which naturally promotes relaxation while heightening concentration. The amino acid is also known to reduce anxiety and enhance mood (probably why I’ve developed somewhat of an attachment and addiction to it)

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

Matcha contains a compound called EGCG which is known to boost the metabolism. A fast metabolism means more calories burned. (EGCG is also a free-radical fighter that blocks wrinkle formation and even reverses UV damage.)
