The benefits of coffee with lemon
According to a study that has been identified, the intake of caffeine from a standard cup of coffee (240ml) can enhance the activity of BAT (brown fat). As a result, the metabolic rate is accelerated, making it easier to control body weight.
In addition, another study shows that caffeine in coffee will help significantly impact the metabolic process within 3 hours of consumption. Consequently, the amount of calories burned can increase by up to 11%, which means approximately 79 – 150 calories will be lost.
Moreover, both lemon and coffee contain beneficial antioxidants for the skin. The high concentration of CGA (Chlorogenic acid) in coffee helps improve blood flow and promotes moisture balance for the skin. On the other hand, the vitamin C content in lemon contributes to stimulating collagen production, a type of protein that helps increase elasticity and radiance for your skin.
Tips for successful preparation
Since ice can dilute coffee, when making coffee with lemon, you should use a strong coffee but not too strong like Espresso, as the flavor will be quite harsh.
Brewing coffee with a ratio of 30g for 180ml of water is ideal.
