This drink has many health benefits, including immune-boosting properties.
Green Tea
Green tea is the base liquid for this recipe. It contains polyphenols, which are plant compounds that act as anti-oxidants in the body. In studies, they have been shown to provide a variety of health benefits. These include boosting metabolism and protecting cells against the effects of disease and aging. According to recent studies, catechins, a type of polyphenols found in green tea (ECGC) have been shown to have anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties, as well as being anti-viral and anti-viral. They also strengthen the immune system.
Lemon
Lemons, which are tart and tangy, have antibacterial and antiviral properties. They also contain vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant and essential vitamin, that helps to stimulate and protect white blood cells. Lemons, like green teas, contain polyphenols. These natural antioxidants can boost your immunity and act as prebiotics, helping to promote the growth of good bacteria in your gut, where 70% of immune cells reside.
This recipe only requires two tablespoons of lemon.
