Why Matcha? The Health Benefits Behind the Green Goodness
The green, frothy allure of matcha has become a global sensation, finding its way not just in lattes but also in a range of snacks. But what's behind this popular flavor? In this post, we'll delve into the health benefits of matcha and discuss how these perks translate when matcha is incorporated into snacks.
The Antioxidant Powerhouse
Matcha is rich in antioxidants known as catechins, specifically epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which is believed to have cancer-fighting effects on the body. These antioxidants also help in detoxifying the body, enhancing the immune system, and reducing inflammation.
Boosting Metabolism
Studies have shown that matcha can help speed up metabolism, aiding in weight loss. The high concentration of the antioxidant EGCG can increase the rate at which calories are burned.
Lowering Stress with L-Theanine
Matcha contains L-Theanine, an amino acid that promotes relaxation and alertness. This unique compound can also moderate the effects of caffeine, offering a 'calm alertness' without the jitters associated with coffee.
Matcha in Snack Form: Do the Benefits Translate?
When matcha is added to snacks, the concentration is generally lower than when consumed as a tea. However, a quality matcha-flavored snack can still offer a good dose of antioxidants, along with the unique flavor that matcha enthusiasts love.
