REDUCE WATER RETENTION WITH GREEN TEA

July 19, 2021

Say Goodbye to BLOAT with Sorate Green Tea and Matcha

WHAT IS WATER RETENTION?

Water retention is when excess fluid builds up within the body. What causes water retention can depend on your circumstances.

HOW GREEN TEA REDUCES WATER RETENTION:

Green Tea is one of the least processed varieties of tea, meaning it retains much of its natural chemical structure and antioxidants.

Caffeine is the secret ingredient for increasing urination while drinking Green Tea, hence reducing water retention. Having THREE CUPS a day can increase your production of urine and help to eliminate excess fluid in the body.

5 SIGNS YOU NEED TO DETOX THE BODY

June 24, 2021

Five Signs That You Need To Detox The Body

· Low Energy Levels

Sleep is the first place to look to boost your energy levels. To improve energy levels caffeine is also a good start. Matcha provides a SLOW release of energy which lasts through out the day.

· Skin Problems (acne)

Hormonal acne is often induced from stress and excess androgen hormones that cause the sebaceous glands to produce higher amounts of sebum. Matcha helps tackle this on both levels as it helps combat stress (both oxidative stress caused by FREE-RADICALS and emotionally by calming down the nervous system).

· Digestive Problems

Most digestive problems are a sign that our digestive system is out of balance. Balancing the digestive fire through a CLEANSE leads to healthy, balanced, and nourished tissues.

· Sugar Cravings

Consuming too much sugar sends insulin and blood glucose on a high over time, and can supercharge your sweet tooth so you crave more and more sugar.

· Achy Joints or Muscles

Joint pain in your knees, hips, or elsewhere can be a sign of uncontrolled inflammation in the body.

5 WAYS TO DETOX THE BODY:

· Eat Fruits and Vegetables

The high water content of fruits and vegetables helps FLUSH out toxins, plus they contain antioxidants that REDUCE inflammation.

· Keep hydrated

Adequate hydration helps lubricate your lymphatic system and flush out toxins.

· Stay Active

Exercise is one of the best ways to detoxify the body. It is an effective way to REDUCE stress, IMPROVE sleep, and sweat — long known as an efficient way to REMOVE some toxins such as heavy metals from your body.

· Drink Matcha

Matcha does so much MORE than detox the body.

It protects against free radicals due to the power of antioxidants. Matcha has 20 times MORE antioxidants than a serving of blueberries. Matcha may PREVENT cancer. Matcha contains fat-burning properties. One study found that matcha tea increased thermogenesis, the body’s rate of burning calories, by about 4 times the normal rate. Another study showed that drinking matcha before exercise resulting in 25% more fat burning. And last but not least, matcha improves heart health due to lowering cholesterol.

Green Tea VS Black Tea

Catechins found in Green Tea for oral health

May 26, 2021

Research is suggesting that green tea benefits the oral cavity. Green tea contains compounds that appear to control inflammation and fight bacterial infection. This drink is also rich in antioxidants, which have many health properties.

See below four reasons why green tea is good for your oral health:

1. Eliminate Bad Breath

Green tea is much better for your breath than coffee or milk because it does not contain any dairy substances nor does it cause xerostomia (dry mouth) like coffee does. In addition, green tea kills the microbes that causes our mouths to smell throughout the day from minimal water intake or, sometimes, hunger.

2. Reduce Gum Disease

A study indicated that green tea may reduce oral bacteria which, in turn, can promote the health of teeth and gums. Researchers believe that the catechins found in green tea have the potential to kill bacteria associated with tooth decay and gum disease. As a result, green tea has the potential to prevent tooth loss and other oral health problems.

3. Fight Tooth Decay

Green tea controls bacteria through regulating saliva production and acidity in the mouth. Researchers found multiple positive studies on tooth decay prevention using only green tea.

4. Reduce Oral Cancer Risk

Catechins from matcha are known for their potential anti-cancer activity. According to studies by scientists from Pennsylvania State University, matcha may help treat oral cancer cells,

The scientists found the natural antioxidant effect of matcha’s catechins could suppress cancer cells without harming the healthy cells while leaving no side effects.

9 Reasons to make Matcha Part of your Life

May 15, 2021

1. DETOX THE BODY

Matcha is rich in chlorophyll, which is the natural green pigment in the leaves that helps with removing the secretion of toxins and heavy metals by enhancing liver conditions and detoxification. This means that it can boost your immune system and your body’s capability of expelling the toxins, making matcha superior to regular green tea.

Why you should drink matcha before your next workout

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!

disappointed

disappointed after trying this matcha directly after finishing my rockys osada tin. i was excited since this is supposed to be “the spot” to get matcha in nyc so i was expecting it to be good. its not bad its just average and honestly pretty chalky/grainy textured even afer fine sifting and whisking well. and theres an unpleasant bitter taste especially towards the bottom of my drink even after mixing and shaking it around to keep it from separating. i would definitely stick to ippodo and rockys in the future.

So nutty

Delicious matcha powder, nutty and pairs well with whole milk for an iced latte
