Enjoy While Revving Your Metobolism

Matcha Green Tea Powder – four words that could make the difference between fitting into that next smaller size.  In a world filled with advertisements promising the same thing, it’s understandable that you would be skeptical.  But how many of those advertised products are also  powerfully effective in fighting cancer, boosting your immune system, lowering your blood pressure and cholesterol, regulating your blood sugar levels, improving your mental clarity, reducing your stress, having anti-aging capabilities, cleansing your body from toxins and lessening PMS (just to name a few)?  Have I also mentioned this is a natural product?

Being a certified Personal Trainer, I have witnessed how Matcha Green Tea Powder added that extra “punch” in burning calories for my clients.  A study conducted by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that matcha green tea not only increased the body’s rate of burning calories from a norm of 8% to an astounding 43%, but also had a profound effect on fat oxidation.  Matcha green tea powder does this by increasing the thermogenesis (rate of burning calories) in the body.

Grown in the mild climate of the Shizuoka Prefecture of Japan, Matcha leaves are hand-picked, steamed, carefully dried in the shade and stored.  These tender leaves (the youngest, less mature leaves are the most potent) exude a dark, emerald green.  Stems and veins are removed and then stone-ground into a talc-like powder. 

In addition to revving your metabolism, matcha green tea powder is being hailed as the newest natural prevention against cancer – most notably, breast cancer.  Independent studies have shown that three cups per day could decrease your chances of breast cancer in half.   Additionally, macha’s antioxidants are unsurpassed — it has 100 times the antioxidants of vitamin C. 

Fitting into those clothes that you once couldn’t get past your hips is an incredibly nice feeling.  Knowing that some of nature’s leaves can help you accomplish this and make you significantly healthier is even better.
