Why you should drink matcha before your next workout

Home   MAGAZINE   Why you should drink matcha before your next workout
Health Benefits

February 26, 2021

Matcha Tea can boost your workout efforts. Scientific studies demonstrate that a 1g teaspoon of Matcha boosts endurance, increases metabolism, and powers up your focus. It’s a natural, organic and healthy way to boost your exercise routines.

Exercise supplements are more available than ever before. They are becoming more and more popular in helping people get ready for and/ or recover from, their workout routines. Many of these supplements contain added sugar, or sweeteners. Organic Matcha is the ultimate natural work out booster! It provides plenty of nutrients, including antioxidants that bolster your health and improve endurance throughout your workout.

 

Is Matcha Good Pre-Workout? 

Absolutely. Matcha contains a small amount of the natural stimulant caffiene  It also contains the amino acid L-Theanine. These two useful compounds appear to work in harmony together to provide a slow release of energy. The L-Theanine has also been shown to promote Alpha brain waves which support concentration and focus. The antioxidant (Catechins) boosts the ability of the body to absorb oxygen in to the bloodstream. This means that you enjoy greater endurance as the body can utilise more oxygen when you are working out. 

Further to this, the Catechins also employ a thermogenic effect which means they help to boost the body’s fat-burning functions. This will combine with the thermogenic effect of your workout to boost fat burning. Regular matcha drinkers are shown to have a 20% reduction in body fat. The vitamins and minerals in matcha help the muscles build along with the proteins that are present. Overall, there are exceptional benefits from drinking matcha before your workout. In terms of timings, half an hour before you start your workout is optimal.

 

Is Matcha Good Post-Workout?

You may be surprised to learn that matcha not only works before you exercise, but it can also provide benefits to help your muscles recover quicker. The Catechin, EGCG found in matcha green tea, helps to mop up the free radicals caused to your body by the positive stress from your workout. Further to this, the metabolism boosting effects of the matcha will combine with the matcha to boost fat burning metabolism way beyond your workout! 

.

Should I Drink Green Tea Before or After My Workout?
.
There are benefits to both but our recommendation is to drink matcha before your workout routine. The combination of caffeine, antioxidants, and L-theanine helps the mind become more alert, the body ready for exercise, and the muscles to recover afterward. Your matcha-fuelled workout will help you make the most of your time and gain the full benefits of your workout. 1g just half an hour before your workout = maximum benefit!

Fantastic!

I love Kusui Matcha so much. This is clean and real taste of Matcha.
I feel so great the result in the tea bowl, which is bright beautiful green color and figure every time.

MATCHA SUPERIOR - 40gr
Doorba Krishnaiyer
Consistently excellent product

As a lover of pure matcha (not the lattes and derivatives) for many years I have sampled many brands and found Sorate to be a consistently superior product.
I have a 3 weekly subscription which always arrives on time. I carry with me on vacations. Love it.
