Why does this recipe work?
– Mint soothes stomach cramps and promotes easy digestion.
– Lemon (or lime) juice stimulates and regulates the digestive track. It stimulates bile production and thins out bile, which allows it to flow more easily. The liver produces bile which ends up in the small intestine to break down the fats that we’ve consumed.
