Matcha for Dummies
Now, I have a friend (@wildwellnessofficial) who's pretty amazing and seems to know all the properties of all the supplements and superfoods and whatever screams wellness to your face, like the palm of her hand. But, since I'm not her, and I can't be more clueless about these, I'm gonna pretend like I know them by heart, but will actually also teach myself, in this occasion, about this magical ground powder of specially grown and processed green tea leaves, known as Matcha. π(See? Already started.)
So, apparently, matcha literally means "powdered tea." When you drink matcha, youβre drinking the actual leaves of the plant. Since you're drinking the whole thing, it is a more potent source of nutrients, vitamins and minerals.
It is rich in antioxidants, polyphenols to be precise, which help protect you against heart disease and cancer, and it also helps regulate your blood sugar and pressure. Did I mention that is also has anti-aging superpowers, can help boost your metabolism, and slow down the growth of any cancer cells in your body? Well, I now understand why this miraculous plant dust is so acclaimed nowadays.
It can also help you stay awake AF since it has a ton of caffeine, and you can incorporate it to almost anything you eat or drink, so no excuses to not do it unless you really hate its taste. I'll leave that to you.
So, I hope this inspires you to at least try this magic dust in case you haven't done it yet. I love matcha lemonades, pancakes and croissants, if you were wondering (I know you were). So, I recommend you add it to your menu whenever and however possible. I want you to live a healthy, long ass life, because if you're reading this, unless you're just casually stalking, then you deserve it.
Mindfully,
Sam.
