How Does the Immune System Work?
The immune system is a network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from infection. The three main types of immune cells are white blood cells, antibodies, and antigens.
Polyphenols and Immunity Provided By Matcha
Matcha is a rich source of polyphenols, which are powerful antioxidants that help protect the body against damage from free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells and lead to inflammation. Polyphenols have been shown to improve the function of the immune system by reducing inflammation and boosting the production of white blood cells.
Authentic Matcha
Do not be fooled by matcha imposters. Authentic Japanese matcha is grown traditionally in the shade to maximize the amount of chlorophyll it contains. It is then deveined and the entire leaf is ground into a powder. It is a deeper green color than its Chinese imposters.
Health Benefits of Matcha
Matcha is one of the healthiest beverages in the world. It is loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, nutrients, and chlorophyll (mimics human blood with the exception of its central atom).
- Matcha boosts immunity due to its high antioxidant content, particularly EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate), which assists your body in the production of T-cells, which reduces inflammation and fights pathogens.
- Matcha is a natural detoxifier! Its vibrant green color comes from chlorophyll. As a result, matcha helps detoxify the body of harmful chemicals, toxins, and heavy metals. A detoxified body can better fight pathogens and boost immunity.
- Matcha kills bacteria! Matcha contains high levels of flavonoids (polyphenols) to form a powerful defense. Flavonoids kill off bacteria from viruses and infections.
- Matcha reduces inflammation! Inflammation reduces our body’s resistance to invading pathogens, bacteria, and viruses. Matcha helps reduce inflammation because of its active ingredient ECGC, which helps stop the production of certain inflammatory chemicals in the body.
