Healthier and more effective: the drink that replaces coffee when you wake up

-

For years, coffee has been the faithful companion of those needing a boost to start the day. A new trend is emerging, and it comes from the East: matcha. More and more people are opting for this green tea powder, and for good reason: it is said to have health benefits that surpass those of coffee.

Sustainable and stable energy

One of the main advantages of matcha over coffee is the energy it provides. Coffee, rich in caffeine, acts as a quick stimulant, but this effect is often followed by an energy crash. Matcha, on the other hand, also contains caffeine, but in a more stable and gentler form, thanks to the presence of L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes relaxation without causing drowsiness.

According to a study published in the Journal of Chromatography, this combination of caffeine and L-theanine helps maintain constant alertness without the side effects like anxiety or palpitations that can accompany excessive coffee consumption.

A powerful antioxidant boost

Matcha is particularly rich in antioxidants, particularly catechins, which are polyphenolic compounds known for their anti-inflammatory and protective properties. In fact, matcha contains up to 137 times more catechins than regular green tea, according to a study published in the Journal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology. These antioxidants help fight cellular aging, strengthen the immune system, and protect the body from free radicals.

Less acidity, fewer digestive problems

Coffee is known for its acidity, which can cause gastric irritation, acid reflux, and other digestive issues. Conversely, matcha, being a ground green tea powder, is much less acidic and gentler on the digestive system. This makes it an ideal alternative for those sensitive to the irritating effects of coffee. Additionally, matcha contains fiber, which promotes good digestion and helps maintain a healthy metabolism.

An ally for concentration and relaxation

Matcha is also known for its calming effect, while also promoting focus. The aforementioned L-theanine promotes the production of dopamine and serotonin in the brain, two neurotransmitters that play a crucial role in mood and concentration. Numerous studies have shown that L-theanine helps reduce stress and anxiety while improving cognitive function. Thus, matcha can offer you mental clarity and increased focus, perfect for kick-starting a hectic workday.

While coffee has long been the beverage of choice for people looking to wake up and start their day with energy, matcha is emerging as a healthier, more balanced alternative. So, why not swap your cup of coffee for a cup of matcha and discover its many benefits?
