A perfect match! Green tea + lemon = eliminate fat

Everyone knows that whole wheat toast, spinach, mushrooms, broccoli, lemon, strawberries, green tea, and mustard sauce are very healthy foods, but you would never have thought that they are also a perfect match. When put together, they can exert magical powers, allowing you and me to be healthier by simply eating!

1. Green tea + lemon = eliminate fat

Green tea contains catechins, antioxidants that can quickly burn fat. Adding a little lemon juice can further enhance the weight loss effect. Studies show that the vitamin C in lemon can help the body absorb three times more catechins. From today on, you can drink Emerald Lemon or Lemon King without worry, but remember to reduce the sugar content.

2. Strawberries + whole wheat toast = replenish energy

Whole-grain bread contains iron, which can prevent fatigue. Nutrition expert Stephanie points out that without iron your blood won't be able to carry oxygen to replenish your vitality, making you feel groggy all day long. The vitamin C in strawberries can convert iron from an insoluble nutrient into a soluble one, making it easier to transport it into the blood.

3. Mushrooms + spinach = strong bones

Mushrooms are one of the few foods that contain vitamin D, while spinach is rich in calcium. Dr. Jackie from New York pointed out that the human body needs vitamin D to be converted into calcitriol, a hormone that can enhance bone calcium absorption and strengthen bones. The human body begins to lose calcium as early as the age of 25, so please start saving bone mass now!

4. Cauliflower + mustard sauce = anti-cancer holy grail

Eating broccoli with a spicy dip, like yellow or green mustard, can double the vegetable's cancer-fighting effects, according to a University of Illinois study. The myrosinase enzyme in spicy foods can promote the release of sulforaphane from broccoli, which is a recognized anti-cancer ingredient. Give bland vegetables a stimulating flavor!
