Iced tea: your new heart-health habit
Sure, a tall glass of iced tea on a hot day is refreshing, but here is why it may also benefit your health. According to studies, drinking tea may lower your risk of Alzheimer’s and diabetes, as well as having healthier teeth and gums and stronger bones.
How? Tea is high in flavonoids, a type of antioxidant. So, if you want to keep a batch of cold tea in the fridge, just add a little lemon juice. The citric acid and vitamin C in the lemon, lime, or orange juice help to preserve the flavonoids.
