Do you love green tea? Studies have shown that adding citrus juice to your green tea boosts antioxidants and other nutrients to make an even stronger elixir.
Catechins, the main health compound found in tea, are not absorbed well by the body. Researchers from Purdue University found that adding citrus juice helps the body absorb up to 13 times more catechins. Since catechins are known to reduce the risk of cancer and cardiovascular diseases, amongst others, you may find yourself brewing up a batch of iced lemon green tea to stay cool and healthy during the hot summer months.
