Longevity is determined by many factors, but disease prevention is the most logical approach to increasing life expectancy. Matcha tea, which lowers cholesterol and “kills” cancer cells, will help with this.

The Express publication writes about the properties of this medicinal drink. It is said that matcha is a type of powdered green tea with a very high antioxidant content, which has many health benefits.

In a study conducted by the Center for Biomedical Research at the University of Salford, experts found that matcha tea significantly reduced the rate of spread of cancer cells and destroys them.

The results were obtained as a result of a series of tests using metabolic phenotyping of breast cancer cells.

“Using metabolic phenotyping, we found that tea suppresses oxidative mitochondrial metabolism – in other words, it prevents cancer cells from 'refueling', causing them to become reactive and die. Our results demonstrate that matcha may have significant therapeutic potential by metabolically reprogramming cancer cells,” said Professor of Translational Medicine Dr. Michael Lisanti.

Studies show that by supporting the human immune system, matcha prolongs life by preventing many diseases The therapeutic potential of this green tea has also been observed in many other diseases. Its powerful antioxidants may help prevent heart disease, osteoporosis, and other chronic diseases.

Studies have shown that catechins in matcha green tea lower LDL cholesterol.

Studies were conducted on rats. Experts noted that matcha tea catechin had a hypocholesterolemic effect in experimental animals. During a deeper analysis of these processes, the researchers found that catechins prevent the absorption of cholesterol in the small intestine.
