We're always on the lookout for new ways to help you improve your health and wellbeing, and this week we're excited to announce a new product in our range.
Just like hemp, matcha is one of many ancient remedies that's currently underdoing a modern resurgence. And just like hemp, it can be a simple addition to your daily routine to help fuel your wellbeing. Now we've made it even simpler to experience the benefits of both with our new Matcha Bliss Balls!
Matcha means "finely powdered tea". It's a type of green tea made by grinding young green tea leaves into a bright powder and then adding hot water. Because the ground up leaves stay in the drink, they deliver an even higher concentration of caffeine and antioxidants than regular green tea. Numerous studies on green tea reveal several science-backed health benefits.
Let's have a look at some of the health benefits of incorporating matcha green tea as part of your daily wellness routine.
Antioxidant Powerhouse
One of the most touted benefits of both matcha and green tea is their high antioxidant content. These antioxidants, such as catechins and polyphenols, help neutralise harmful free radicals in the body, thereby reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. Studies suggest that regularly consuming green tea may lower the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders.
Boosts Brain Health
Green tea contains caffeine, albeit in smaller amounts than coffee, which provides a gentle energy boost without the jitters often associated with caffeine consumption. Moreover, green tea contains an amino acid called L-theanine, which has been shown to promote relaxation and improve focus and cognitive function. The combination of caffeine and L-theanine in green tea may enhance brain function, memory, and mood.
Supports Weight Management
For those looking to shed a few pounds, green tea may be a valuable ally. Research suggests that the catechins in green tea, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), may help boost metabolism and promote fat oxidation. Additionally, the modest caffeine content in green tea can increase energy expenditure, making it an excellent addition to a balanced diet and exercise regimen.
Promotes Heart Health
Drinking green tea regularly has been linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases, including heart disease and stroke. The antioxidants in green tea may help improve blood vessel function, reduce blood pressure, and lower cholesterol levels. By supporting overall heart health, green tea contributes to longevity and well-being.
Enhances Skin Health
The potent antioxidants found in green tea can also work wonders for your skin. Green tea may help protect against sun damage, reduce inflammation associated with conditions like acne and eczema, and slow down the signs of aging by preventing collagen breakdown. Some skincare products even feature green tea extracts for their rejuvenating and soothing properties.
So, what happens when you combine Matcha with Hemp?
Simple. You get the health benefits of both!
Hemp has been shown to have a variety of health benefits including:
Anxiety Relief
Pain Relief
Anti-inflammatory Effects
Brain and Nerve Support
Cardiovascular Support
So, not only do you get the calming benefits from the hemp, you also get the antioxidant properties from the matcha and cacao, a boost of energy from the caffeine, and a good dose of protein and healthy fats from the walnuts and hemp seeds.
These Matcha Bliss Balls are the perfect mid-morning or afternoon pick-me-up to help keep you feeling calm, happy, energised, uplifted and focused!
Bright Blessings for Vibrant Health,
With Love from Your Ubuntu Community.
