—
### **Why Green Apple and Lemon?**
– **Green Apples**: Known for their high fiber content, green apples are also rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and water. These nutrients can help soothe an irritated throat, reduce inflammation, and keep your body hydrated, which is essential for fighting off illness and coughs. The natural acids in green apples can also aid in thinning mucus, making it easier to clear from the airways.
– **Lemon**: Lemons are packed with vitamin C, which supports the immune system, and citric acid, which can help break down mucus and reduce throat irritation. Lemon also has natural antibacterial and antiviral properties, making it an excellent option for soothing a cough caused by colds or infections.
