Healthier Green Tea
What can be healthier than green tea? A healthier green tea, of course. That’s right, a hot health drink just got hotter: Add lemon juice to green tea for a huge health boost. When you sip tea, a significant percentage of the polyphenol antioxidants break down before they reach your bloodstream.
But researchers at Purdue University discovered that adding lemon juice to the equation helped preserve five times more polyphenols. “It’s possible that the additional vitamin C protects the tea’s antioxidants during digestion,” says the study author, Mario Ferruzzi, Ph.D.
