Green Tea Powder. Green Tea Sencha Powder. Green tea is the healthiest beverage on the planet. It is loaded with antioxidants and nutrients that have powerful effects on the body.

Did you know that black tea and green tea come from the same plant? For centuries black and green teas were believed to come from two different plants, they actually come from the same species of plant, but black tea undergoes a process of fermentation which allows the tea to oxidise. Green tea is quickly steamed or heat treated to prevent oxidisation, this process allows it to keep most of its vitamins, minerals and other beneficial compounds. Powdered green tea sencha can be added to detoxifying face masks, soaps and skin creams. A decoction can be added to lotions and shampoos. Add the powder to smoothies and green juices; it can also be drunk as an antioxidant rich tisane or added to biscuit, pasta and cakes as flavouring.

If you look at the ingredients list for any fat burning supplement, chances are that green tea will be on there. This is because green tea has been shown to increase fat burning and boost the metabolic rate, in human controlled trials.

Not only can green tea improve brain function in the short term, it may also protect your brain in old age. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common neuro-degenerative disease in humans and a leading cause of dementia. Parkinson’s disease is the second most common neuro-degenerative disease and involves the death of dopamine producing neurons in the brain. Multiple studies show that the catechin compounds in green tea can have various protective effects on neurons in test tubes and animal models, potentially lowering the risk of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

The catechins in green tea also have other biological effects. Some studies show that they can kill bacteria and inhibit viruses like the influenza virus, potentially lowering your risk of infections. Streptococcus mutans is the primary harmful bacteria in the mouth. It causes plaque formation and is a leading contributor to cavities and tooth decay. Studies show that the catechins in green tea can inhibit the growth of Streptococcus mutans. Green tea consumption is associated with improved dental health and a lower risk of cavities. Multiple studies also show that green tea can reduce bad breath.

Given that green tea can boost the metabolic rate in the short term, it makes sense that it could help you lose weight. Several studies show that green tea leads to decreases in body fat, especially in the abdominal area.

In order to feel better, lose weight and lower your risk of chronic diseases, you might want to consider making green tea a regular part of your life.

Green Tea powder should be stored away from light and oxygen in order to preserve its brilliant green color and antioxidant properties. This miracle elixir has been consumed for over a millennium in the Far East, and is now considered to be one of the most powerful super foods on the market today. It is high in antioxidants, specifically catechins which are the most potent and beneficial of the antioxidants. For over a millennium, Green Tea has been used by Chinese Daoists and Japanese Zen Buddhist monks as a means to relax and meditate while remaining alert.

Some depressions are caused by a lack of serotonin in the brain. Drinking Green Tea has also been shown to increase metabolism and help the body burn fat about four times faster than average. Again, unlike many diet aides currently on the market, this causes no negative side-effects such as increased heart rate and high blood pressure. It is a powerful detoxifier and fortifies the immune system.

Overall, it is considered one of the safest and healthiest beverages to consume. However, there are still a few things to keep in mind when drinking green tea. There are several side effects, although many of them are rare. Most of these side effects affect individuals who are sensitive to caffeine or tannins. As always THOROUGHLY research any herb that you wish to use and if using prescribed drugs, please consult your doctor first.
