Celebrities, well-known Flemish people such as Sandra Bekkari and just about every fitness guru drink it: matcha!

To say that this Japanese green tea has become super popular in no time is an understatement.

But what makes matcha so popular and why do all people who live a healthy lifestyle swear by it? We have already found a number of reasons and are happy to list the benefits of matcha for you.

Packed with antioxidants

The main reason for the popularity of this green gold?

Antioxidants. Matcha is packed with it!

Antioxidants are substances that protect you against free radicals. Free radicals are aggressive substances that can damage your cells and tissues and can lead to cancer, cardiovascular disease.

Antioxidants help prevent this and are therefore essential for good health and increased resistance.

Recent studies have shown that matcha tea contains more antioxidants than many other superfoods. It even contains 137 times more antioxidants than regular green tea.

So it makes sense that everyone is wildly enthusiastic about it.

A power boost for your whole body

Antioxidants is one factor, but matcha has a lot more good in store for our body.

It gives you more energy, a boost to your metabolism, keeps your brain running at full speed and also provides a natural detox.

Honestly, why not drink a cup of matcha? Let's take a closer look at each of these aspects.

  • Energy
    The same boost as coffee, but with much less caffeine? Matcha gets it done. The L-Theanine present in matcha provides a calming effect and erases the negative side effects of caffeine. Bye bye insomnia!

  • A boost for your metabolism
    In short, matcha makes you burn calories faster. According to The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, matcha reduces your body fat and also lowers your LDL cholesterol. A golden tip? Drink a cup of matcha before exercising and you will burn up to 25% more fat than usual. Moreover, you can also continue your workout for a lot longer. Two birds with one stone.

  • Detox
    Chlorophyll provides the intense green color of matcha, but it does much more. It also helps remove metals from the body and provides an intense natural detox. All harmful substances are neatly discharged from your body, making you feel a lot better about yourself.

  • Good luck for your brain
    Did you know that in ancient times matcha was already used by Buddhist monks for meditation? This is where the L-Theanine comes into play again. This substance calms and relaxes. It also increases concentration, allowing you to be much more focused and get results faster.
