Most Effective Way To Drink Green Tea

By Roger Flynn


The benefits of green tea will be greatly boosted if lemon is mixed. To be able to understand this principle, we must first look into the negative and positive effects of food combination.

A lot of nutrition experts will agree that blending food can negatively or positively affect a person's health condition. People in discomfort with acid reflux from a buffet may blame the "All You Can Eat" policy, but in most occasions poor food mixing is the contributing issue. For example, mixing melon with another food is a poor idea.

In general fruits are digested within the stomach without any difficulty. Melons digest in fact faster than other fruit, since they are about 90 percent water. If the digestive process is delayed as a result of blending with other food, fermentation takes place in the stomach possibly resulting in excessive gas, acid reflux, upset stomach and indigestion. However, certain food mixtures increase the health rewards by supporting the absorption function.

Olives and tomatoes are an excellent food combination. Tomatoes are recognized as a fantastic provider of Lycopene in the world of diet. Fight against heart diseases and protection from cancer are a few of the common health rewards of Lycopene. Positive effects are improved when tomatoes are ingested at the same time with olives. Absorption of Lycopene is improved by olives. How about tea and lemon?

Some of the well-known tea benefits are weight loss, cancer prevention, healthy heart, digestive aid and diabetes prevention. Thanks to green tea's antioxidant known as catechins the benefits are achievable. Although the positive aspects of catechins are great, studies have shown these antioxidants are easily degraded inside the human intestines after digestion only about 20 percent of them is available for absorption.

Lemon also offers antioxidant which is vitamin C. It plays a part in some of lemon's positive aspects for example digestive aid, skin care, and fight against throat infections. Even more importantly vitamin C offers ideal environment for catechins to be available longer when mixed together.

By adding Vitamin C, human intestine becomes an acidic environment for catechins. This makes catechins to be more available for absorption. After all it does not need to be lemon. Any citrus fruit juice like grapefruit, orange or lime will increase the absorption function. Even so lemon seems to be the most effective of all indicating that other components of lemon are possibly adding to the stabilizing effect.

Since the natural taste of tea is bitter, combining tea and lemon juice can be tastier. For those trying to find an option to green tea, there are many selections of green tea tablets with vitamin C.
