For years, we've been hearing Green Tea is good for us. How we should use it or consume it in any way. From sipping tea, matcha powder in our smoothies, or even in our hand lotion, there are many ways to benefit from it. Not only very high in antioxidants, it offers so many more reasons to use for better health and well being. Here are only a few:
Lowers Cholesterol
Replacing unhealthy snacks and drinks with green tea could actually help maintain your good and bad cholesterols. Green tea’s powerful antioxidant, EGCG, is believed to halt the absorption of cholesterol into the blood.
Skin Protection
The catechins in green tea can actually make the skin more resistant to the effects of UV rays and therefore premature skin aging. They can also lead to reduced skin redness after UV exposure. Look for skin care products that contain pure green tea.
Promotes Weight Loss
Green tea has small amounts of caffeine, and there are studies that show EGCG, the active compound in green tea, promotes weight loss. Research has found that those who consume high amounts of catechins from green tea daily had significantly BMI than those who don't.
Fights Cancer
The antioxidant powerhouse slashes your risk for developing heart disease and some cancers. Studies show green tea consumption can also charge your metabolism which in turn helps you burn energy efficiently.
Natural Energy Boost
Need the caffeine jolt, but don't drink coffee? Try making green tea at home with organic natural matcha powder. Either add it to hot water, warm milk, or to your smoothie. You'll feel the natural kick and stay energised and feel good knowing you're drinking something that's good for you. Use 1/2 tsp for every 1 cup of liquid.
I can't wait to try the two hills green tea matcha powder I picked up at the health food store. I'm looking forward to having easier access to pure green tea and hoping to feel a natural boost of energy along with other benefits!
Happy Green Tea-ing :)
