Al-Ghawi referred to the most important nutritional properties of matcha, as it contains catechin, which is an antioxidant substance that increases the speed of metabolism by 8 to 17%, according to some studies. This substance fights free radicals and helps prevent cancer cells from forming, and it also contains caffeine.

No exaggeration or exaggeration…
According to the “Al-Ghawi” specialist, excessive consumption of any food item will inevitably lead to harm. Eating more than 3 to 4 cups of matcha per day will lead to harm. Because it may contribute to the formation of oxalate, which helps in the formation of kidney stones, and excessive consumption of it leads to a decrease in the proportion of iron in the body, so it is preferable to drink two hours following eating so that the body can absorb iron from food and benefit from it, and excessive matcha causes insomnia, headache, dehydration, and acceleration heartbeat and damage to the liver and kidneys, the health rule says (eat food in moderation as needed, and health status is not harmful).
