| description | This study investigates the consumption patterns, health perceptions, and demographic correlates of green tea and matcha consumption in Saudi Arabia, focusing on their implications for cardiovascular health, obesity, and diabetes management. A survey was conducted among participants, focusing on demographics, consumption patterns, health perceptions, and lifestyle habits. Statistical analysis, including regression modeling, was employed to explore the relationships between perception, health outcomes, frequency, and duration of consumption. Participants perceived green tea and matcha as beneficial for weight management, cardiovascular health, and, to a lesser extent, diabetes control. While these perceptions align with existing literature on the health benefits of polyphenols and caffeine found in green tea and matcha, there were notable disparities in consumption patterns, with many participants reporting infrequent consumption. This discrepancy between public perception and scientific evidence underscores the need for balanced health communication strategies. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of considering individual variations in response to these beverages, as evidenced by reported side effects like irregular heartbeats. Overall, this study contributes to understanding the role of green tea and matcha in promoting cardiovascular health, managing obesity, and potentially mitigating diabetes risk factors in the Saudi Arabian context. |
