Arthritis is a debilitating disease. My dad is a long time sufferer and someone who would still be working today if it wasn’t for this painful disease.
There is currently no cure for RA. My dad takes a cocktail of anti-inflammatory medication to manage the pain, but these medications are not without their side effects.
Scientific studies have proven that there are certain foods that have shown to fight inflammation, strengthen bones and boost the immune system.
Green tea is one of them. Packed with polyphenols, which are powerful antioxidants believed to reduce inflammation and slow cartridge destruction.
Matcha is a type of powdered green tea and gram for gram, matcha is one of the most powerful antioxidants in nature.
PICTURE: Matcha Brewed as tea. The true excellence of this matcha comes from its velvety, silky texture as it passes over the tongue. It is a full bodied and well rounded green tea with no bitterness. It has a frothy, creamy, sweet like taste. 137 time more antioxidants than regular steeped green tea.
EGCG is a chemical compound that belongs to a class of flavanols known as catechins. It is most abundant in green tea. This compound is known to have anti-inflammatory properties.
Matcha green tea is super concentrated and is up to 10x more potent than regular green tea!
In a study* conducted by the researchers from Washington State University (WSU), research suggests that the compound EGCG may be a promising alternative to current treatments for RA.
In RA, the immune system mistakingly attacks the synovial tissues surrounding the joints, causing inflammation, swelling and pain. This can cause damage to the cartilage and bone. In more severe cases, RA can lead to joint deformity.
After giving EGCG to mouse models of RA for 10 days, the team noticed that treatment with the compound led to a significant reduction in ankle swelling.
Dad is now a regular consumer of matcha tea. He drinks 2-3 cups a day and limits he’s consumption of known foods that cause inflammation.
The changes have been remarkable. It just goes to show how much of a difference diet can make in our lives. I strongly believe that prevention is better than cure.
If you or someone you know is suffering from this disease, then maybe it’s time to make a simple change?
