8 Great Benefits Of Lemons

When life gives you lemons, be glad!

The lemon has been given a poor reputation mainly because of its sharp taste but do not discount this fruit. It is easy - and inexpensive -  to make lemons part of your daily nutrition and enjoy its health giving properties.

Here are 8 of the great benefits of lemons. 

  1. Lemons are LOADED with Vitamin C. 
    You need vitamin C for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It helps the body make collagen, an important protein used to make skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. Vitamin C is needed for healing wounds, and for repairing and maintaining bones and teeth.
     
  2. Lemons aid digestion by loosening any toxins that are found in the digestive tract and relieving any symptoms of indigestion like heartburn, burping and bloating. 
     
  3. Drinking warm water with lemon juice is the best way to start your day because after sleeping your body is dehydrated and needs flush out toxins. This cleansing and vitamin-rich drink is the perfect tool to rehydrate your body and clear these toxins.
     
  4. Joint pain, inflammation and swelling can be reduced by drinking lemon juice because it assists in dissolving uric acid which is a byproduct of the bodies metabolism. 
     
  5. Warm lemon water is the possibly one of the most effective ways to diminish viral infections and sore throats. Plus, with the lemon juice also boosting your immune system, you will simultaneously fight off the infection completely.
     
  6. Lemons have an alkalising and cleansing effect on the body. Keeping the body in an alkaline state is important because many diseases thrive can only thrive when the body is acidic.  
     
  7. Squeezing lemon juice on a salad as a dressing can increase the absorption of iron. For example, lemon juice with a salad of spinach or chickpeas with both contain a good source of iron.
     
  8. Lemons have fantastic benefits for your skin too. It has natural antibacterial properties that make it a good choice to help cure acne and prevent further breakouts and is a natural exfoliant since the citric acid acts as a gentle "skin peel" that removes the top layer of dead skin cells.
