Green Tea for Fat Loss: Health Benefits of EGCG- Thomas DeLauer: Use Your Tea Wisely!! I'll show you how and WHY Green Tea does more than you think (and isn't just for hippies). More at http://www.ThomasDeLauer.com Tea consumption began in Japan and China thousands of years ago. The medicinal value of teas has been recognized in these cultures for centuries, and the benefits are beginning to be supported by science here in the Western culture. Green tea is often at the forefront of the healthy tea family, with matcha green tea leading the way. Matcha green tea is simply finely powdered green tea that was shown in a 2003 study published in the Journal of Chromatography A to have 137 times the catechins as traditional Chinese green tea. Tea has various bioregulatory activities and has been shown to have the following benefits: -Anticarcinogenic -Antioxidant -Lowers bad cholesterol -Antibacterial -Improve health of gut flora -Lowers blood pressure -Helps with allergies Catechins found in teas have been found to lead to many of these benefits. Epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG) is the main catechin found in green tea. A 2011 study published in Cytotechnology using rats found that the concentration of catechin absorbed when tea was pulverized was twice that of normal tea leaf infusion. The smaller the particle size the greater the concentration of catechins. In the same study plasma absorption levels were measured. There are two types of catechins - ester-type catechins and free-type catechins. The absorption of free-type catechins was greater than that of ester-type catechins. Ester-type catechin plasma levels were greatest in the finest particle size of 2.83 μm. Currently the average matcha particle size is 20 μm, but can range from 1 to 100 μm. Higher quality matcha is smaller, ranging from 5 to 10 μm and lower quality matcha is bigger. Tips: Fine matcha feels similar to baby powder or eye shadow where lower quality matcha will feel grittier. Soy bean and black pepper have been found to increase the bioavailability of EGCG, so have some edamame with pink Himalayan sea salt and ground black pepper while you sip your matcha green tea.
