WHY I MADE THE SWITCH TO MATCHA

 

IF YOU KNEW ME A YEAR AGO you might be shocked to know i’m not drinking coffee everyday, or like hardly at all. i am EXCLUSIVELY a matcha gal now.

& in case that not only surprises you, but also intrigues you, i have created this post to serve as my explanation.

 

let me start by setting the scene, up until about 10 months ago i had been drinking coffee every morning for about 4 years. at the start of 2021 i started noticing that i was dealing with a level of every day anxiousness and the onset of sporadic panic attacks. this change in my mental health forced me to re-evaluate the things that i was doing on an every day basis to see if i could narrow in on a possible trigger. that’s when i decided to give up my morning cup of coffee to see if maybe that had any part to play in the matter. to my disappointment it did. :(

now hear me out, i’m a comfort seeker kind of gal in the morning. nothing better than waking up and enjoying a warm cup of coziness. so something needed to replace my daily coffee. cue, matcha. i began dabbling in making matcha lattes and quickly became her #1 fan, especially when i learned about/experienced all the benefits it has to offer. so let’s talk about those benefits.

BENEFITS //

contains EGCg, a super molecule that aids in weight loss and promotes brain & heart health

has anti-inflammatory properties that promote healthy, radiant skin & reduce skin redness

has been shown to fight hormonal acne, sun damage, and environmental stress on our skin

1 cup of matcha has as many antioxidants as 10 cups of green tea

packed with antioxidants; which can help to reduce inflammation & promote cellular repair

contains L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes relaxation while reducing stress & anxiety

improves brain function & promotes mental clarity

no caffeine crash!! the L-theanine in matcha allows the caffeine to release at a much slower pace
