A fragrant drink can be made many times healthier if you add just one additional component.
We are talking about lemon. This statement was made by nutritionist Natalia Denisova, reports aif.ru .
As the doctor noted, citrus helps to saturate coffee with antioxidants, which help prevent premature aging, strengthen the immune system, and saturate it with vitamin C.
All this is especially useful during cold season.
Denisova added that coffee itself can also be called a healthy product, since the beans contain zinc, iron, and B vitamins.
But these are not all the benefits of the drink. This mixture of coffee and lemon helps improve metabolism.
It is recommended to drink strong coffee with water.
The specialist reminded that caffeine stimulates blood flow well, including through the kidneys, therefore it has a diuretic effect and removes fluid. This is especially useful for those who suffer from swelling.
It is important not to overdo it with the drink. You should not drink more than three cups of coffee per day. At the same time, you should not replace a full breakfast with a cup of invigorating drink.
Previously, we talked about which foods should be excluded from the diet of older people.
