Why matcha should be a healthy-living staple
As far as top health foods to add to your diet go, matcha tea is one that absolutely cannot be brushed off as a mere fad. Used by Chan and Zen Buddhist monks for centuries to improve focus and aid meditation, this stone-ground powdered green tea has only recently taken the world by storm – and with good reason! From matcha lattes in the morning to little matcha shots before yoga, it seems we can’t get enough green goodness!
What makes it a superfood?
As anybody with an interest in healthy living knows, green tea has been linked to a myriad of health benefits – everything from boosting metabolism to fighting cancer. Matcha tea is essentially amplified green tea and is every bit as beneficial as that sounds. Because matcha is made from ground up whole tea leaves, it’s a much more potent source of catechins (powerful antioxidants) than standard green tea which is consumed as an infusion, with the leaves discarded. Sipping on just one cup of matcha tea is equivalent to 10 cups of green tea – that’s some energy boost!
Unlike your morning espresso, matcha delivers ‘slow-release’ caffeine that helps boost energy and concentration levels naturally. Those who don’t get along with caffeine often find matcha to be a fantastic alternative to coffee as it offers a solid energy boost without the sometimes overwhelming “caffeine jitters” or the dreaded “4pm slump”.
