Matcha , Research Update-1

 New Research Findings on Matcha Green Tea?

In this post, we are trying to address new research findings of Matcha and

Green Tea and some of them may have some interesting information for you

                    matcha, research update-1

1,-Green tea, and its supplements may have good hopes for children's who have

     Down syndrome

This new study was carried out by Belgian and Spanish scientists and published in 

Scientific Reports, on march,1921, and claims that intake of green tea extracts

can reduce facial dysmorphology in the children's suffering from Down syndrome,(1)

Down Syndrome, is a genetic disorder causing developmental and intellectual delays

it causes a distinct facial appearance, after treating with green tea extracts, children 

with Down Syndrome shows a 50% difference compared to the control group

2,-Green tea and Black tea both for antihypertensive properties

This new study from the University of California confirmed that both

teas, relax blood vessels by activating ion channel proteins in the

blood vessel wall, and due to this they can lower blood pressure,

this research study is published in March 2021, in Cellular Physiology

and Biochemistry,(2)

Results from the research revealed that two catechin-type

flavonoid compounds, epicatechin gallate and epigallocatechin-3-gallate

found in tea, each of them activates a very specific type of ion channel protein

KCNQ5, which activate the exit of potassium ions from cells, and by 

which relaxes blood vessels

3,-Green tea extracts with exercise can reduce fatty liver

This combination of green tea extracts and exercise can reduce the severity

 of obesity-related fatty liver disease by 75%, in mice fed with a high-fat diet

this research study is from Penn State University and published in February 2020

in The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry,(3),

The author of this research says polyphenols present in green tea interact with the 

digestive enzymes in the small intestine and partially inhibit the breakdown of

carbohydrates, fats, and proteins present in the food, and by doing so along with

exercises it reduces the fat deposited on the liver, the group has demonstrated that

green tea extracts along with exercise sharply reduce body mass, improve

cardiovascular health and also reduce fatty liver

4,-Matcha tea can reduce anxiety

Japanese Researchers from Kumamoto University carried out this research using

the elevated plus-maze test with mice, and confirms that it reduces anxiety, the

research details are published in July 2019, in Journal of Functional Foods,(4)

Matcha tea extracts reduce anxiety by activating dopamine D1 and serotonin

5-HT-1A receptors, it is also revealed that poorly water-soluble components of

matcha has stronger anxiolytic effects than water-soluble components, this

the particular research study was carried out by matcha tea extracts in 80%

ethanol on mouse

5,-Drinking Green tea and coffee can lower death risk in people with diabetics

This very interesting research findings, states that drinking 4-or more cup

green tea per day can reduce 63% of all causes of mortality, in the cases of

diabetics, this is Japanese work, published October 2020, in BMJ Open

Diabetes Research&Care,(5)

People with type-2 diabetics are more prone to, circulatory diseases, dementia,

cancers, and bone fractures, and even despite an increasing number of effective

drugs, lifestyle modifications, such as exercise and diet, remain a cornerstone

of treatments, here in this study total of 4923 Japanese cases are studied,

2790-men,2133-women with type-2 diabetes, average age 66, for 5-years,

a lot of details were studied

Some 607 participants did not drink green tea,1143-drank one cup of green 

tea per day,1387-drank 2-3 cups per day,1784- drank 4- cups per day green tea

1-cup green tea, 15% lower odds of death

2-3, cups green tea ,27% lower odds of death

4-cups, green tea,40% lower odds of death

This study presents a very powerful strong case in the favor of green tea

6,-Tea drinkers live longer

and carried out by Dr. Xinyan Wang, on a total of 1000,902- participants,

divided in two groups, one habitual tea drinker,and non-habitual tea

drinkers and they are followed for 7.3-years, and results are very

surprising

Habitual tea drinkers get

-39% total risk of incident heart disease and stroke

-56% lower risk  of fatal heart disease and stroke

-29% decreased risk of all-cause deaths

7, -A newly discovered, naturally low-caffeine Tea Plant

Chinese Scientists have discovered a wild tea plant, which contains

almost every little, or no caffeine, like other decaffeinated products

which are produced in the industry this natural plant can be going to

offer very great health benefits, this discovery was made publish

In November 2018, in American Chemical Society,(7)

This is a rare wild tea plant, discovered in the mountains of southern china

and locals residents believe that it can cure a cold, soothe stomach pain and

provide relief in lot other ailments, but very fewer details we know about

its contents, chemistry, etc, maybe we will get more information in coming

years

revealed that regular tea drinkers have better-organized brain regions,

means healthy cognitive function, compared to non-tea drinkers, the 

results of this study were published in September 2019, in the journal,

Aging,(9)

The research team found that individuals who consumed green tea, oolong tea,

or black tea at least 4-times in a weak for about 25-years had brain regions

that ware interconnected in a more efficient way than in comparison to those 

who don't drink any tea, so the tea drinkers have better cognitive functions

can give you great ideas

Has anyone tried both combinations?

Yes, they have been tried, and even some combined preparations are also available from some

companies, but unfortunately no research are carried out on the possibilities of good benefits

so we can only presume that both on combining still can provide some good benefits of both

items

What combination?

As there are no studies are carried out in this expect, so we presume any possible combination

can do the job, and in a practical way, any type of combination can be tried there is no hard fast

rule about this

                     matchafacts, matcha with wheatgrass

What is so unique?

-2-ounce,29.5-ml of wheatgrass juice is equal to 5-lbs,2.68-kg, best raw organic

 vegetables, in nutritional value

-in comparison with carrots it has almost double amounts of vitamin-A, 

-it has more vitamin C than oranges

-it has complete proteins

-it contributes 20% of its total calories from peptides, small chain proteins

Wheatgrass is a living food

It means the very fresh juice has additional properties, that is it has some kind

of bio-electricity, means it can restore the electric charges between the cell walls

and by doing so it boosts the immune system, but for that, we need only fresh juice

and must be consumed within 15-minutes after juicing and wheatgrass juice is best

among all living juices.

What are the major benefits of taking 

Wheatgrass with Matcha?

What grass is one of the most healthy solutions for health problems and some major

benefits are summarised below,(5)

-It's a superfood, high in protein, vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, and in all respects

  this is what you need every day that too in the morning, and still better if you take it

  with matcha

-Its can eliminate toxins, which means it has the detoxing ability because of chlorophyll,

 almost the same is true with matcha

-It can help with digestion, this is where it is much better than Matcha which has

 caffeine and it's not that much gut-friendly, so the combination can do wonders

-it can boost metabolism, they both have similar properties, the combination can

 make you feel fuller faster and reduce the appetite

-its can lower cholesterol, both have this property, so the combination can be great

-it can boost the immune system, again both have this common activity

-it can give you more energy, the combination can just act as an energy drink

-it can lower blood pressure, well matcha can little elevate blood pressure so balance

 can happen in combination

-it can improve cognitive function, both wheatgrass and matcha have these activities

 so we think the combination can boost this function in a great way

- it can help in diabetics, wheatgrass has some molecules which work just like

  insulin and matcha is also diabetics friendly so this combination can be very

  good hope for those who have blood sugar problems

-it can be helpful in arthritis, both wheatgrass and matcha have very similar activities

 and the combination can be good  in reducing some symptoms of arthritis

Is there anything adverse?

There are lot of people in the world who are taking matcha and wheatgrass almost every day

so we are referring to the very safe situation from all angles, but still, some care is always

better to take

-there is the possibility of some kind of contamination in wheatgrass juice, like soil traces so

better take extra care in washing the cut grass very properly

-there can be possible side effects, which can happen to some persons, and slowly they fade

away after some time, these are nausea, headache, constipation, stomach upset, fever

- 

What are the dosages, and how to go about this properly?

-a typical liquid dose of wheatgrass juice is 1-to-4-oz, which means 30-ml to 120-ml

-in the case of powder it can be somewhere 3-to-5-gram, with 8-oz,240-ml water

How to go about this?

Do not start with a big dose from the first day, start with minimum doses and slowly

very gradually increase them, let's give time to the body for making some adjustments

How to go about the combination?

Here again, start from a combination of 1:4 ratio between wheatgrass juice and matcha drink

very slowly, gradually increase this ratio to 1:1 may be in a month time, so that your body

gets enough time for this adoption

Provides very good research opportunities

As there is no research data is available on the bioactivities of these combinations

we think it can be very interesting for those who are in very active research, it provides

a great  opportunity for a research study, which can be focused on typical combinations

and there possible health benefits in a certain area of health problems

Provides very good Business opportunities

Wheatgrass and Matcha both are very high growth markets, both are very good for

health, almost any combination can be possible and that too in very vast varieties of

food products and this opens great opportunities for a new type of health-related

business, some ideas can be promoted as business possibilities

Matcha for hair health

 Does matcha help in hair fall?

Matcha is a super antioxidant, because of this it increases the circulation in the scalp, Vitamin-E, and polyphenols promote the growth of hair. Research studies have shown that these polyphenols can inhibit the effects of some hormones which have an effect on hair, and thus slow the process of hair loss.

Does matcha improve hair growth? 

Hair growth largely depends on the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the roots of hairs in the scalp, In fact, poor blood circulation can cause hair loss. So drinking green tea will help as it increases the circulation,(1),(2)

Does green tea or matcha lower DTH? 

First of all, what is DTH?

DTH is a hormone, which is responsible for hair loss its full form is dihydrotestosterone the body makes it from testosterone,  normally  this conversion is 5% .usually body convert this with the help of an enzyme 4-alpha reductase any material which can block this enzyme can reduce the formation of DTH and hence the loss of hairs,(3),(4),(5),(6)

Following materials are at the forefront 

1, green tea/ matcha

2, Coconut oil

3, Onions

4, Turmeric

5, Pumpkin seed

6, Edamame,(young soybeans)

In this list, few materials can be combined for the best optimum results,.Like, matcha with turmeric and coconut oil in the application.

So, where do we stand, well as for as benefits of matcha with regards to hair fall problems, one thing is sure, that it works, now only the question comes how to use it for maximum best benefits, what we think from Matcha Facts that a local application is almost a must along with drinking matcha tea, or taking matcha in some other preparation 

Matcha and diabetes

 Does matcha help in diabetes? 

Yes it works diabetes is a very fast-growing disease, and most of the time goes in regulating blood sugar levels either by oral medication or by injecting insulin, and it's not that easy, now there is research evidence which is suggesting that things can be managed more easily if you drink green tea,(1),(2),(3),(4),(5). 

Let's see 

                                           matcha and diabetics

What it does with diabetics?

What we found in a lot of research reports, that it works and

It reduces the fasting sugar  levels 

It also reduces insulin resistance  levels 

Still, more research is needed as data is not that clear but initial indications are very positive,(6),(7),(8),(9) .

Although we have only primary research findings with us and they all indicate that it provides help in this area, and we can say from Matcha Facts that the overall benefits along with benefits for diabetics, it's worth trying at least

Matcha and eye health

 Does matcha useful in eye care?

Yes, matcha is very important  for the eyes, it has nutrients  very similar to flavonoids, called gallocatechin, out also has two more antioxidants, zeaxanthin and lutein so it helps in a big way,(1),(2),

1, Gallocatechin, zeaxanthin, and lutein protect eyes from ultraviolet  radiation

2, These above ingredients along with other ingredients present in matcha helps in preventing the dryness of the eyes.

3, These all ingredients  present in matcha slow down  the aging process of the eye

                        

                                        matcha and eye health

Even you are not a tea drinker, think of it as a vision-focused nutrient, and include matcha in your diet plan,(3),(4),(5),(6)

So, we have some protective tools and that too for eyes, which is not only going to benefit eyes but also has very vast health benefits, and overall protection of the body, so what you are waiting, at least give a try, this what we feel from Matcha Facts

Matcha and skin

 Does matcha act as anti-aging of skin?

Yes, it works,  very well protects the cellular structure of the skin, and sustains healthy skin, this all matcha do it by preventing oxidative stress, so matcha becomes or emerges as the most sought after product for beauty benefits,(1). 

1, Prevent dryness of skin

2, Can help and provide a soothing effect on irritated and sunburned skin

3, Help to balance oily skin

4. Help to recover acne-prone skin

5, Prevent premature  skin aging

So matcha is very useful  in a number of skin conditions, 

, let's  see,(2),(3)

There are very few products that can do wonders in this area, and matcha is one of them, you can combine matcha with other skin-friendly products and use it on your skin, one very simple product for skin can be a combination of milk, garlic, and matcha and what we feel its not any kind of risky product which can have any possibility of allergy, it's very safe, it's very sure to work, and from Matcha Facts point of view, it will be definitely better than a lot of other commercial preparations today available for making the skin flawless beautiful, so at least give a try

Matcha and cancer

 Is matcha useful in the fight against cancer?

Really, it works in this area, one of the most potent substances, having the power of antioxidants  more than  blueberries and other berries, at least it should work what research  studies say,(1),

Let's see 

                                           matcha fights with cancer

Does it work with breast cancer?

Matcha green tea has ingredients, which are reported to kill breast stem cells, what does it mean, it means that matcha is very helpful and even matcha can be used in place of the chemical drug rapamycin. So matcha green tea becomes a complementary  and alternative  therapy

Does it work with lung cancer?

Although research studies are indicating that it may work with lung cancer cells but still, more research is needed, most of the research has been done in test tubes, not on humans. In research, the cancer cells are treated with green tea extract and it was observed that cells stick together, rather than stop moving, research only suggests that matcha tea extract has some effect on lung cancer cells, more research results are needed.

Does it work with prostate cancer?
