K you’re Tom Hanks in Castaway - You and Wilson get ONE major tea type to sip on until… ever. WHAT’s it gonna be?!? ☝️🌱🍵☕️⁉️
Green tea!! 🌱🍵it’s is an awesome superfood shown many times to provide the body with all types of health benefits. Interestingly, it seems that many of the health benefits provided by Green Tea may in fact come from a more balanced and beneficial GUT MICROBIOME created through regular Green Tea consumption. This reel gives a glimpse at the idea of tea consumption offering human health benefits THROUGH alterations to the gut microbiome. #greentealover #healthbenefit #matchagreentea #matchalover #matchatea #greenteabenefits #matchaaddict #tealoversclub #gutmicrobiota #gutmicrobiome #microbiomehealth #microbiomediet #antioxidantrich #greentealover #healthbenefitsoftea #greenteapowder #greentealovers #greenteaaddict #greenteaholic #greentealatte #greenteamatcha #greenteadetox #greenteaextract #tealover☕️ #tealoversunite #drinkteadogood #teatime🍵 #teatime☕️ #茶道 #健康茶
MATCHA 🍵 has been shown in HUMAN trials to reduce stress levels IF (and only if) there were high enough levels of stress-reducing tea amino acids (L-theanine + L-arginine) relative to tea catechins and caffeine, a ratio supported by tea plant SHADING prior to harvest (i.e. proper Matcha cultivation)(research linked below).
