Al-Marsad Journal: New research, published in the journal Aging and conducted by the University of Salford Biomedical Research Center in the UK, has found that the green matcha drink can promote longevity through its anticancer and cholesterol-lowering powers.
The British Express website highlighted the anticancer properties of matcha tea, as the study found that this tea was able to significantly reduce the spread of cancer cells.
One of the study authors, Dr Michael Lisante, noted that “matcha green tea is a natural product used as a dietary supplement,” adding: “Using metabolic phenotyping, we found that tea inhibits oxidative metabolism in the mitochondria – in other words, it prevents cells from ‘replenishing’. “So it becomes reactive and dies.”
And he added: “Our results are consistent with the idea that” matcha “may have great therapeutic potential, mediating the metabolic reprogramming of cancer cells.”
Additionally, matcha’s powerful antioxidants help ward off many diseases, from heart disease to osteoporosis, and it can lower blood cholesterol, as one of the antioxidants in green drinks called catechin, which is the effective one that can also target fats. substance.
Looking at 1,136 people, the study conducted fourteen trials to monitor the drink’s effects, and the research team found that the drink was able to lower “bad” cholesterol by 2.19 mg / dL.
