We all need Energy!!
To reach and maintain your overall optimum energy….
It is essential to both eat well and maintain a consistent level of physical activity. This is where Matcha green tea can play an important role. With your workouts, whether your goal is to increase endurance, increase metabolism and/or drop excess visceral fat (the fat stored in the abdominal area), Matcha green tea can assist the body with all three.
The key is to drink Matcha daily. I have watched clients drink Matcha on occasion, only 1-2 cups per week before workouts, and not understand why they weren’t experiencing the full potential. You will
always experience a boost of energy and endurance from one serving of Matcha before a workout but to see results in muscle toning and fat burning, this tea should be drunk on a regular basis.
It is ideal to drink Matcha regularly (2-3 times daily) and make sure that one of those cups is within 1⁄2 hour before exercising. One serving, about 1⁄2 to 1 tsp of Matcha, consumed pre-workout, will help fuel and maintain the body. Keep in mind that your endurance will increase gradually over a couple months. You will experience more energy on a daily basis along with more stamina and endurance in your workouts by the time weeks 8-10 approach, with drinking Matcha daily. I have read various studies which found that physical endurance will improve as much as 20-25%.
If your goal is weight loss, then next to a healthy diet, Matcha is one of nature’s best and most natural aids and is safe for almost every person.
Matcha naturally increases your body’s energy and heat production during cardio and resistance training which tells the body to burn more calories, specifically fat calories, resulting in weight loss. Those using Matcha regularly can burn up to four times more calories per workout session. I have found that your metabolism can increase as much as 30-40% simply through drinking matcha daily and incorporating it into your workout.
I personally have been drinking Matcha tea for over 15 years and it not only helps to keep my energy up but it has definitely helped me get rid of those last few post-pregnancy pounds that tend to be a bit stubborn. I encourage all of my clients to drink Matcha regularly and they have not only been able to lose those pounds that love to store abdominally but they experience everything else that Matcha has to offer including energy gain, focus, clarity, immunity and much more.
