The efficacy and function of lemon tea

1. Quench your thirst

Lemon tea is extremely thirst-quenching. It can fight bacteria, enhance immunity, stimulate appetite, promote salivation, relieve heat, and increase daily water intake, which is helpful for people who don’t like to drink water.

2. Expectorant

Lemon tea can eliminate phlegm, and its ability to eliminate phlegm is stronger than that of oranges and tangerines. Drink lemon juice mixed with warm water and salt so you can cough up the thick phlegm in your throat. When you have a cold, add lemon juice to honey and warm water to soothe a sore throat and reduce throat irritation. Drinking this drink can help relieve throat fatigue for teachers, telephone operators and other people who use their voice frequently.

3. Eliminate fatigue

Lemon tea can partially eliminate pain because it contains a lot of absorbable vitamin C, which can promote blood circulation. When drinking, you can cut the lemon into thin slices and put it into warm water, and add black tea, honey, etc. to it. This can not only preserve the nutrients in the lemon but also take into account the maintenance effects of black tea, honey, etc.

4. Lose weight

Adding sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to lemon tea every day can help you lose weight. You can drink more of it during the weight loss period. But you should drink lemon tea in moderation, and should not drink more than 1000 ml a day. In addition, drinking lemon tea with honey on an empty stomach after getting up early can regulate the body's pH, clear out stool and excrete toxins.

5. Notes

Lemon tea is highly acidic, so people with acid stomach and gastric ulcers should not drink too much lemon tea.
