In the same way cloves,cinnamon & pepper corns  works effectively against bacterial infection. Lemon & ginger also good to increase our immune system, today i am talking about immune system so not sharing other health benefits. Honey is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-virus which helps in reducing weight when consumed it empty stomach with hot water. Coming to green tea -it builds metabolism, it burns extra fat, it is full of anti oxidants, by having it regularly we can reduce weight, yes we need also to proper work outs for good result :) . Do not boil green tea for long time, boil 1 or 2 minutes not longer than that. Finally adding elachi gives good flavor to tea, d't skip it.  I am not tea or coffee liking one, but green tea is one of my favorite. How to overcome this pandemic situation?? my personal opinion is - Not go out when we do not have work, wear mask and carry sanitizer always, and take proper food that increase your immunity system.  Hope this energy drink with 2 health benefits helps you to stay fit and strong.
