Now is the time for me to share it with you, because I have perfected it and I know it can help with detoxing, since I have tested it on myself.
Green Tea With Lime Benefits
The green tea with cinnamon and lime benefits are so many, you will want to drink this beverage everyday!
This drink is great for replacing your morning coffee. It will still wake you you up, since green tea has caffeine, but it will also provide your body with numerous health benefits.
This detox drink for bloating and weight loss has these amazing benefits:
- Antioxidant Properties: Green tea is rich in antioxidants like catechins, which may help in combating oxidative stress.

- Anti-Inflammatory: Ginger and cinnamon have anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce inflammation in the body.
- Improved Circulation: Some studies suggest that cinnamon can improve blood circulation, which is beneficial for cardiovascular health.
- Mild Diuretic: Green tea has mild diuretic properties, which may help you eliminate excess fluid.
Best Time to Drink Green Tea For Detox
The best time to drink this green tea detox drink is first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
As for how often to drink detox tea, you should drink this beverage once a day for 7 consecutive days as a minimum.
You want to drink it for that long, so you give your body the chance to fully detoxify itself. 3 days is not enough.
How Long Does It Take For Green Tea To Detox Your Body
If you are wondering how long detox tea takes to detox you, the answer is it varies. It varies from person to person.
Everybody is different, however, generally, you should start seeing results between 3 to 10 days. I personally started seeing results within the first week.
Other factors play a role in how well you detox. For example, if you eat a long of junk food alongside drinking detox tea, you won’t really get the results you want.
