Many of us are already aware of the many health benefits of green tea, thanks to the high concentration of antioxidants. What most of us don’t know is that there are several types of green tea, some of which can be added to food rather than consumed as a tea. If you’d like to add one of these green teas to your daily diet, then consider the Japanese Matcha, which is available in green powdered form in most health food stores.
Japanese researchers have found that Matcha aids in lowering “bad” cholesterol (LDL), stabilizes the glycemic levels in the blood, speeds up the metabolism, and even helps ease anxiety. So clearly, adding it to your diet can be helpful to your body.
If you choose to add Matcha to your diet, you’ll be happy to know that you don’t have to drink tea all the time. The many health benefits, combined with its unique, mild flavor, make Matcha a great addition to many dishes, including shakes. Check out this cool recipe for Japanese matcha green shake.
