Matcha Green Tea - Ancient Wisdom For Modern Weight Loss By: Richard Canfield
It has been ritually grown and enjoyed for centuries, used by Zen Buddhist monks to aid in meditation and well-being, is the traditional drink of the ancient and beautiful Japanese tea ceremony, and is now in modern times being hailed as perhaps the easiest and fastest way to lose weight.
What is this miracle drink? A humble Japanese powdered tea called matcha green tea.
For hundreds of years matcha tea has been highly prized for its wide range of health benefits. Today many scientists are also finding it may be one of the best fat burner ingredients available.
The Wonder Of EGCG
The main active ingredient in green tea is a super-powered antioxidant called Epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG. In addition to many other health boons, EGCG is an extremely potent tool for weight loss.
First, EGCG actually helps to burn fat. In a 2001 study conducted by the Belleville Human Nutrition Research Center, green tea, and its high concentration of EGCG, was found to be the best fat burner when compared to water, caffeinated water, and diluted tea.
Second, it can help reduce the amount of fat stored by the body. It does this by regulating the production of insulin, which in turn lowers the amount of glucose the body stores as fat.
Finally, EGCG directly increases the body’s metabolism, the rate at which calories are burned for energy. The higher one’s metabolism, the faster calories are burned, and thus the fewer calories the body stores as fat.
Matcha Green Tea And Weight Loss
Though green tea is known to have a multitude of positive health effects, perhaps the most common use today is as a green tea fat burner. All green teas contain EGCGs, with all of the weight loss benefits described above. What makes matcha tea so special?
Matcha tea contains more than 130 times the amount of EGCGs as other green teas! No other tea even comes close to being as effective in losing weight.
Other Benefits Of Matcha
As if all that isn’t amazing enough, the high concentrations of EGCG in matcha have many other beneficial qualities.
Those who drink green tea daily have been shown to be more resistant to diseases and conditions affecting the brain, such as multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease. EGCGs are also believed to help the body ward off cancer cells, and reduce the risk of heart disease - they do all of this in addition to the properties common to all antioxidants, namely the reduction of free radicals and the promotion of cell vitality.
EGCG isn’t the only restorative ingredient in green tea either! It also contains caffeine, about half as much as an equivalent cup of coffee, and an amino acid called theanine. Theanine has been shown to reduce stress, both physical and mental, and may also assist the body in staving off infection.
Matcha green tea can do wonders for one’s overall health, and its convenient powder form makes it easy to use - in addition to drinking it as tea it can be thrown in a salad, dip, ice cream, or any kind of drink. An ancient wonder, thankfully rediscovered!(read entire article)(posted on: 2010-01-29)
