Start your day off with this warm Vitamin C Boosting Green Tea Detox Drink. With the colder weather approaching us, it is time to ward off cough and cold season with drinks loaded with vitamin C. Green tea for weight loss is a great way to jump-start your goals. So why is green tea good for you?

• Green tea has been shown to increase fat burning and boost the metabolic rate, so start your day off with a burst of energy. “It’s all about the catechin content,” says Beth Reardon, RD, a Boston nutritionist. Catechins are antioxidants that fight and may even prevent cell damage. Green tea is not processed much before it’s poured in your cup, so it’s rich in catechins. The substances in green tea increase levels of hormones that tell fat cells to break down fat. This releases fat into the bloodstream and makes it available as energy. While green tea is a healthy beverage on its own, the antioxidants get partially degraded in the body, so you lose some of those benefits when the tea is weakened in this process. Adding lemon juice to green tea helps your body pull out up to six times more antioxidants from the green tea – supercharging its belly-melting power.
• Lemon aids in liver detox and alkalizes the body. Lemon juice is also a mild diuretic, so adding it to your water is going to help flush out those toxins.  Drinking warm or hot lemon water when you wake up may help get your digestive system moving.
• Honey contains nutrients such as protein, water, energy, fiber, sugars and various vitamins and minerals. It contains minerals such as iron, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, zinc, and calcium. Honey is also a good source of vitamins that include folate, niacin, riboflavin, Vitamin C, and Vitamin B6.

This cleansing tea recipe will warm you up on a cold snowy morning! So what green tea to buy? We try to buy organic, but if you cannot buy organic green tea, make sure it is 100 percent green tea.
