Nutrition Story Time: Antioxidation for Youth

   Although ordinary tea contains extremely high nutritional content, only 35% of the tea leaves are truly soluble in water. A large amount of insoluble effective ingredients are discarded as tea dregs. Experiments have shown that eating tea can absorb more nutrients than drinking tea. A bowl of matcha contains more than 30 cups of ordinary green tea's nutritional content, so almost all Japanese tea ceremony masters live long lives. Changing from drinking tea to eating tea is not only a reform of dietary habits, but also a need to adapt to the fast-paced modern life.

  Matcha powder contains a wealth of essential nutrients and trace elements for the human body. Its main components are tea polyphenols, caffeine, free amino acids, chlorophyll, protein, aromatic substances, cellulose, vitamin C, vitamin A, B vitamins, and nearly 30 kinds of potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, sodium, zinc, selenium, and fluoride. Studies have shown that tea polyphenols can eliminate excessive harmful free radicals in the body, regenerate highly effective antioxidant substances such as α-VE, VC, GSH, and SOD in the body, thereby protecting and repairing the antioxidant system, significantly enhancing immunity, and having significant effects on cancer prevention and anti-aging.

Youtiao contains a large amount of protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and potassium. It is a high-calorie, high-fat food that can be eaten by most people. However, people with high blood lipids, diabetes, and impaired liver and kidney function should not eat it.
