Adding Lemon to Coffee: A Weight Loss Tip or a Bedouin health Remedy?
A traditional Bedouin remedy for stomach ache is the first thing I think about when I relate lemon to coffee. In the past Bedouins added lemon to coffee to ease stomach aches and stop diarrhea. This holistic remedy has been used long before people began to talk about how lemon and coffee combined leads to weight loss. Commercializing this holistic traditional remedy has made this combination a marketing trend that many diet fanatics have used as a tip for weight loss.

The benefits of lemon are numerous as we all know but adding coffee to this Vitamin C filled fruit is definitely a bonus.
How does this coffee mix work?
Coffee is known to be the most popular stimulant that signals the brain to burn fat cells in our body. This stimulation boosts our body and enables us to feel energetic for long hours throughout the day. The active properties in coffee such as theobromine, theophylline and chlorogenic acid are effective antioxidant properties in aiding in the weight shedding process. Adding lemon to these properties helps detoxify the body by cleansing it through enhancing the digestive process. As a result, your body absorbs carbohydrates and your body releases the wastes stored in it.
