]]>Lemon Juice
Drinking a little bit of lemon juice is the perfect solution to get rid of garlic breath. Lemon juice has acid, which neutralizes the stinky enzyme that garlic produces and leaves behind in our mouths. Eat a lemon slice and enjoy odorless breath.
Green Tea
This one might be a bit easier to do. All you need to do is drink some green tea to reap the benefits of the polyphenols, or the antioxidants that help to cover up the chemicals in garlic that cause the odor.
Raw Apples
Apples carry an enzyme that helps to cover up bad smelling breath. It’s the same enzyme that turns a slice of apple brown if you leave it out for some time, but it turns out that this makes for a great natural deodorant for the smell of garlic.

You can also find skincare products containing green tea extract for added convenience. Consider incorporating the Mario Badescu Green Tea Facial Mist.

Water right as you open your eyes is an excellent way to start the day. When you wake up, your body is dehydrated. Adding a slice of lemon or two to your glass is a great way to ingest a healthy amount of vitamin C and it helps detox your body.
Apple Cider Vinegar

Beware—it does have a horrible taste.

]]>While the basis of tea is the same everywhere (tea is essentially always boiling water poured over some type of cured leaf or herb), there are many different kinds of tea and even more variety in terms of how it can be prepared and served. If you’re curious to learn more about this ancient beverage, read on.
Types of Tea
Three of the most popular categories of tea are black, green, and herbal. Black tea is made from fully oxidized tea leaves and has an intense, malty taste; green tea is made from unoxidized tea leaves and has a clean, earthy taste, and herbal tea is made from dried fruits, flowers, and spices.
How It’s Served
Every culture has its own traditional ways of serving tea, and it can be fun to learn more about each and experiment until you find ones that you enjoy. In Japan, green tea is often served as part of a tea ceremony involving special methods of preparation. In India, tea leaves are brewed with spices, and in Morocco, green tea is served sweetened and poured from several inches (or even feet) above the cup.
Health Benefits
The benefits of drinking tea will vary depending on which type of tea you choose, but in general, most teas are high in cancer-fighting antioxidants and may help lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Herbal teas like chamomile are caffeine free and can promote relaxation, making them a great choice before bed.

]]>Better Quality
Brewing fresh green tea leaves is the best way to make this beverage, and you can make it much more flavorful by making sure that you’re opting for fresh, good-quality leaves.
Water Temperature
The temperature of the water you’re using can make all the difference when it comes to green tea, and sticking to between 150 F and 180 F is your best bet.
(@tonguetwisters___)Steeping Your Tea
It’s highly recommended to steep your green tea for the right amount of time to achieve the best possible flavor. Green tea leaves are very delicate, and that’s why you should avoid steeping them for more than two or three minutes.
Herbal Infusion
If green tea doesn’t do it for you on its own, mixing it up with other flavors could do the trick. You can mix it with other herbal teas, or add a splash of lemon or mint to bring the best out of your green tea.

]]>Pomegranate Juice
Filled to the brim with antioxidants, researchers have deemed that pomegranate juice can prevent cancer, inflammation, and heart disease. However, if you buy it at the store, make sure that it hasn’t been loaded up with extra sugars, and that it’s purely natural.
Green Tea
When you’re aching for a dose of caffeine down the stretch of your busy workday, a cup of green tea is healthier than coffee. Not only does it also provide you with antioxidants, but it tastes great too!
Low Fat Milk
We all grew up on milk, but when we got older, society told us that it was a “kid’s drink”. But given that it’s filled with protein and calcium, it’s a great source for our health no matter how old we are. A nice glass of low-fat milk will provide you with some much-needed vitamin D without the extra saturated fat, and we promise you that we won’t judge you for drinking it.
