6 More Ways Green Tea Could Turn Back Time
If you’re looking for one good reason to drink green tea each day, we’ll give you six. While there is no “quick fix” to achieve youth and longevity, green tea’s ability to improve health inside and out makes it a powerful anti-aging drink.
Here’s what the research has to say about our beloved brew:

1. Brain: If you too fear cognitive decline so often associated with age, the latest green tea research will come as welcome news. In 2014, University of Basel scientists discovered that green tea extract could enhance cognitive function and especially working memory, with potential application for dementia treatment.

2. Digestion: Healthy digestion is at the cornerstone of a long and full life, which may make green tea your new best friend. To regulate digestion, calm digestive troubles, and especially remedy SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), green tea can help. Drinking green tea can decrease stool pH to support healthy bacterial growth, while decreasing the amount of bad bacteria in the gut.

3. Joints: Creaking and aching joints may not be an inevitable part of aging, if you cultivate a daily green tea habit. The superstar polyphenol EGCg, along with EGC, could help to reduce knee pain and improve joint health.

4. Skin: In addition to Dr. Hsu’s research, count this as yet another “plus” on green tea’s skin renewal list. A 2003 study published in Current Drug Targets – Immune, Endocrine & Metabolic Disorders confirmed that the photoprotective polyphenols in green tea could prevent skin damage caused by sun exposure, including photoaging.

5. Weight: Metabolism is reported to slow with age, but drinking green tea could help to beat the creeping battle of the bulge. As we noted above, green tea can not only help to keep digestion moving, but it may slow weight gain with the potential to fight against obesity.

6. Mortality: As if all the benefits listed above weren’t enough, drinking green tea may also extend length, as well as quality, of life. In a 2006 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers found green tea drinkers to have a lower risk of death from all causes, including cardiovascular disease.

With its many health benefits and powerful potential to fight the effects of age, green tea is one comforting drink that you can enjoy daily, without any guilt. Ujido Matcha is our preferred green tea since it comes straight from the source. Made from the same green tea used in Japanese tea ceremonies, matcha is highly concentrated and highly nutritious. Matcha provides all the benefits of ordinary green tea and more and can be used as a natural booster of vitality.

We’ve long known that green tea is good for us, but can it really be considered an anti-aging drink? Compared to dark chocolate and red wine, green tea has more free-radical-fighting catechins by far. And compared to non-tea drinkers, people who drink green tea may have cells that are biologically younger.

1. Brain protection – Green tea extract could help to improve cognitive function and working memory, even in cases of dementia.
