Tea and lemon may not always bring the benefits that many people are accustomed to thinking about.
Nutritionist and gastroenterologist Nuria Dianova explained when such a combination does not bring much benefit.
The vitamin C contained in lemon is destroyed when it gets into hot water, a doctor told Radio 1. In this case, it is just a flavor addition to the drink.
The same thing happens when you cut the whole lemon at once and put it on a plate. When exposed to air, vitamin C also disappears, so it is better to cut the fruit gradually.
Lemon jam is a harmful option if it contains a lot of sugar. The doctor also emphasized that in this case, vitamin C is destroyed.
The nutritionist named the most useful and effective way to use lemon - this is the preparation of a drink from fresh citrus with herbs and without sugar.
The best way to preserve lemon is freezing, but even this method has its own peculiarities.
In particular, each freeze-thaw cycle reduces the amount of useful substances. Therefore, it is worth preparing small portions in this way.
