Benefits of Lemon Tea
- We all are aware that lemon tea is known to assist in weight-loss. But how? Lemon helps in accelerating the metabolism by flushing the toxins out of your body
- As lemon is rich in Vitamin C, which is not just important for the growth, repair and development of your body tissues, but also boost immunity. Vitamin C also helps prevent iron deficiency and manage high blood pressure and heart disease risk.
- When you add ginger to your lemon tea, it makes a solid drink packed with anti-inflammatory properties. Ginger is known to treat nausea and reduce muscle pain. It is also known to be an appetite suppressant. Ginger increases your energy level and aids in digestion as it has high-fibre content.
- Keep that refined sugar bottle as far as possible if you want to enjoy the health benefits of lemon tea. Instead, add honey, the gold liquid. This natural sweetener increases your metabolism, helping you to burn more fat than usual (reportedly, even while sleeping).
- You can also add organic lemongrass (if possible grow it by yourself). Add it with the brewing tea. Lemongrass is packed with antioxidants and is good for your skin and hair. It also gives relief from menstrual pain.
