Lemon Protects Your Tea, and Tea Protect You, so...
Who knew?....
When you sip a cuppa tea, your body’s digestive enzymes may destroy as much as 80 percent of tea’s good-for-you catechins. But there’s a way to counteract that.
Add a squeeze of lemon. The citrus works to preserve some of those powerful disease-fighting compounds.
Researchers suspect that the phytochemicals in citrus work some kind of stabilizing magic on the catechins when they’re in your digestive tract -- they seem to act like bodyguards.
