female-specific health benefits of drinking matcha Part 1

May. 26th, 2022

Preparing a cup of matcha is a great way to relax and reset — but the benefits of matcha tea go way beyond stress reduction for a woman’s health. Adding matcha to your daily routine as a woman can have a whole range of female-specific health benefits.

1) Promotes female fat-burning and weight-loss

Several studies have shown that matcha’s catechins and caffeine content may help increase fat burning and boost your metabolism. And this is particularly true for women! Drinking matcha before a brisk thirty-minute walk significantly enhanced exercise-induced fat oxidation.

2) Lowers the incidence of depression in women

Did you know that twice as many women experience depression as men? This means women have to take more preventative measures to alleviate stress and anxiety in their day-to-day lives. A study published in 2019 found green tea significantly lowers the incidence of depression in women nineteen or older. Women who drank just three cups of green tea per week had a 21% lower prevalence of depression

3) Alleviates bloating and menstrual cramps

Delivering a healthy dose of antioxidants with anti-inflammatory properties, matcha has been evaluated for the alleviation of the all-too-common period symptoms of bloating and menstrual cramps.

4) Works wonders for a woman’s skin health

Regularly drinking matcha tea comes with several notable benefits for a woman’s skin health at any age. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of matcha have been well-studied for increases in skin’s elasticity, helping clear up hormonal acne, slowing down the process of skin aging, potential reversal of UV damage, and a boost to natural collagen production. Plus, matcha has actual bioavailability, meaning your body more easily absorbs the nutrients consumed which may give your skin a dewy, detox-glow.
