The health advantages of green tea will be greatly boosted when lemon is mixed. To be able to fully grasp this idea, it is necessary to first look into the negative and positive effects of blending food.

A number of diet experts will probably agree that mixing food can negatively or positively influence a person's physical condition. An individual experiencing acid reflux from a buffet style meal may blame the large amount of food, yet in most situations poor food mixing is the contributing problem. For instance, combining melon with another food is not the best decision.

In most cases fruits are digested within the stomach without any problems. Melons are above 90 percent water meaning that they break down even faster. If the digestion of food is delayed because of blending with other food, fermentation takes place in the stomach potentially triggering acid reflux, upset stomach, indigestion and excessive gas. On the flip side, some food blends enhance the health benefits by assisting the absorption.

Tomatoes and olives are a great food combination. In the world of nutrition, tomatoes are identified as a very good source of Lycopene. Lycopene offers health rewards such as fight against cancer and heart diseases. When tomatoes are consumed simultaneously with olives the health rewards are increased. Olives improve the absorption of Lycopene. How about lemon and green tea?

Cancer prevention, healthy heart, digestive aid, diabetes prevention and weight loss are some of the green tea benefits. Due to green tea's antioxidant called catechins the health rewards are all possible. Though the positive aspects of catechins are wonderful, studies show that these antioxidants are unstable inside the human intestines following digestion only around 20 percent of them is available for absorption.

Lemon is also recognized for antioxidant that is vitamin C. It helps with some of lemon's health benefits like digestive aid, skin care, and fight against throat infections. Importantly vitamin C offers more suitable environment for catechins to be available longer when combined together.

Vitamin C provides an acidic environment for catechins inside the human intestines. Doing this makes catechins to be more available for absorption. After all it does not need to be lemon. Any citrus fruit juice like orange, lime or grapefruit will help with the absorption function. However lemon juice seems to be the most effective of all suggesting that other elements of lemon juice also are adding to the catechins availability.

Because the natural taste of tea is bitter, adding lemon juice to tea can be more delicious. For individuals trying to find an alternative option to green tea, there are also many green tea pills with vitamin C.
