I have always loved the taste of fresh lemon. In my water, my tea, and even squeezed onto fresh salads and veggies. But the medicinal values that lemons provide are exceptional. Check out these added bonuses to your health that can be derived from the lovely lemon:
🍋 DIGESTION - Fresh lemon juice is an excellent benefit for your digestive system. A great way to start your day is with a cup of warm water with freshly squeezed lemon. I add a shot of Olive Oil. This routine helps to jump-start your system before you add any food.
🍋 IMMUNE SYSTEM: The benefits of fresh lemon to boost your immune system are an excellent reason to incorporate this important fruit into your diet. The Vitamin C and antioxidant boost your system receives is essential to help your body fight off those bugaboos!
🍋 CANCER: The key ingredient "limonene" in the lemons is very effective in reducing and eradicating cancer cells. While no one can claim it cures this disease, many compelling studies cause me to want to continue to incorporate this food into my diet.
🍋 INFLAMMATION: The acidic quality of lemons is excellent in reducing inflammation in your body. The lemon actually helps reduce uric acid and, surprisingly, helps the body to maintain a more alkaline state. When your body has a pH level that is alkaline, you will experience fewer inflammatory issues. Lemons can also help with kidney stone issues.
Go out and grab some fresh lemons and incorporate them into your diet. I know that I feel much better since I've started consuming more of this delicious fruit. And, they look lovely on the counter!
