Scientific Studies Promote Matcha Green Tea
Before deciding to open The Tea Spout, I was very skeptical about the health benefits of natural products. But the more I studied and experimented with teas, matcha, and herbs the better I felt both physically and emotionally. At 53, I feel (and look) better than I ever have! I've lost 25 pounds, I have more energy, more focus and I sleep like a baby. I almost never have headaches and I just feel good. One of the things I've noticed most is that I don't have the aches and pains in my joints and back that most people my age complain about.
I have come to the realization that we are conditioned through media and marketing to accept that pharmaceuticals and overpriced mass produced products with a long list of additives are what's best for us. Since the FDA does not allow us to promote tea, matcha, and herbs as intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, I have compiled several science based articles that you may be interested in when deciding if tea should be part of your daily routine.
Happy sipping!
