People love to shout “Vitamin C!” like it’s a superhero on steroids. Truth is, taking massive doses of vitamin C might shorten the duration of a cold by a tiny bit. But it won’t stop you from catching one in the first place.
So, lemon tea is not a force field. But it’s a delicious way to get a little extra C while soothing your throat. And it tastes way better than a chalky supplement, right?
Plus, the act of making a warm lemon drink is calming. It forces you to slow down. Your body needs rest to heal. So really, the lemon is just an excuse to stop, breathe, and sip something nice.
