Matcha Tea - For Antioxidants Exponentially Higher in Antioxidants than Blueberries and Spinach

Green teas contain a high amount of antioxidants, chemically compounds known to forestall aging. Antioxidants are found in many fruits and vegetables - even chocolate. A testing method known as ORAC - short for oxygen radical absorbance capacity, evaluates the antioxidant levels found in food. According to research done by Tufts University, the ORAC capacity of matcha green tea is exponentially higher than other foods known for their high antioxidants levels such as blueberries and spinach. Below are several articles about the benefits of antioxidants. Matcha Tea - For Cleansing the Body of Toxins Rich in Chlorophyll, A Renowned Detoxifying Agent Chiorophyl, the pigment which gives leaves their green color, helps to remove heavy metals and chemical toxins from the body.

Antioxidant nutrients such as vitamins A, C and E help to neutralise harmful molecules (free radicals) in the body that can cause damage to healthy cells. Chlorophyll is an efficient deliverer of magnesium and helps the blood carry oxygen to the cells and tissue.
