There are many factors that make green tea a healthy beverage, and the health benefits increase if we add lemon to it.

In this report published by the Spanish newspaper "elconfidencial", author Angelis Gomez reviews some of the benefits of drinking green tea with lemon.

We emphasize here that this information is general and for guidance only;

Green tea and lemon are not a cure for any disease, nor a panacea for the prevention of any disease.

Consult your doctor before consuming large amounts of green tea, or before taking green tea supplements.

Antioxidants

Tea contains a number of antioxidants, such as epigallocatechin gallate and chlorogenic acid.

Lemon is also rich in vitamin C.

Antioxidants also play an important role in promoting health and preventing diseases and infections.

Weight loss

Green tea may help burn fat, provided it is combined with a healthy diet and exercise.

Protection from diabetes

Green tea helps control blood sugar.

A study conducted by Chinese scientists confirmed that drinking tea regularly reduces inflammation and improves the body's ability to benefit from insulin.

However, many specialists insist on treating these results with caution and that more research is needed to confirm them.

Improve heart health

The combination of green tea and lemon is an ally for a healthy heart, according to the author.

A Japanese study also concluded that people who consumed lemons on a daily basis had lower blood pressure, especially those who walked regularly.

Brain protection

Japanese scientists have suggested that drinking green tea is linked to a lower risk of dementia.

Improving immunity

Lemons are an excellent source of vitamin C, a water-soluble micronutrient that has powerful antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory and immune-stimulating properties.

Green tea also helps in improving the body's immunity.

energy boost

Green tea is a natural source of caffeine, a central nervous system stimulant from which we derive energy and activity, as well as combating fatigue, and caffeine can improve alertness and physical and mental performance.

Green tea contains less caffeine than coffee, so it may be a suitable alternative for people who are sensitive to high doses of caffeine.

body hydration

Hydration is essential for healthy skin, weight control, brain function, as well as a healthy digestive system and kidney function.

Fluids play an important role in preventing kidney stones and avoiding constipation and headaches.
