Avocado Matcha Ice Cream

Antioxidants +Good fats – best shield for cancers

Avocado and Matcha are rich in antioxidants, phytosterol, PUFA, and other biological compounds.

They are combined in this recipe to make an exquisite ice cream which happen to have a possible cancer preventive power too.

If Breast Cancer is called the Rich Food disease in China, in reference to women eating meat, dairy, and sugar, in Japan old studies reported a low rate of breast cancers in the rich Japanese women population.

Part of the differences in lifestyle, rich Japanese women are drinking frequently high quality of Matcha tea, it is correlated with the low rate of Breast cancer.

Don’t confuse Matcha with green tea.

A cup of Matcha is made by dissolving finely ground tea leaves in warm water.

You are eating the tea leaves, taking in more catechins (antioxidant compounds responsible for benefits like preventing cancer) than you would by steeping tea leaves in boiling water.

I cup of matcha equals 10 cups steeped green tea, for nutrients content.

Avocado is the fruit having the highest level of phytosterol, working in competition with cholesterol to be reabsorbed during digestion, this explains the regulation of blood cholesterol and may be hormonal regulation in prostate and breast aging physiology.
