“Helpful for Weight Loss”: Experts Recommend Matcha Tea

Matcha is a concentrated green tea powder made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. It is known for its vibrant green color and unique flavor, which is often sweeter than most other types of green tea.

Matcha tea itself is low in calories. Therefore, drinking it instead of high-calorie beverages like soda may help reduce overall daily calorie intake, according to a report by Prevention.

Matcha also offers documented health benefits, including helping to lower the risk of certain chronic diseases, supporting liver function, and improving focus. Of course, if a person has pre-existing health conditions or is taking any medications, they should consult their doctor before trying matcha, as it contains caffeine and other compounds that may interact with some medications.
