Matcha powder for weight loss
Matcha is considered to be the most potent form of green tea because you consume the entire leaf of the tea plant. That is why it has more health benefits than regular green tea.
It has antioxidants called catechins which give green tea its health benefits. Catechins are known to help with weight loss by reducing overall body fat and protect against cell damage which slows down the ageing process.
