Lemons are the major source of vitamin c, potassium, calcium and consumed by every person in the world.
This is because lemons contain alkaline-forming nutrients which are excellent for your body and helps alleviate several illnesses. The lemon water removes toxins and restores your body’s pH balance.
Lemons are packed with anti-bacterial properties and are therefore excellent for indigestion and constipation. They destroy the bad bacteria and let the good bacteria flourish in turn giving you relief from indigestion or constipation.
If you want to lose weight, make sure lemon is a part of your daily diet. You can stop yourself from overeating by drinking a cup of tea with half a lemon squeezed into it. This can stop you from overeating. The soluble fibre called pectin found in lemon makes you feel full quickly. Make a drink with the juice of one lemon, two teaspoons honey and one glass of warm water. Drink it before breakfast. Again the feeling of fullness will stop you from eating too much.
The flavonoids or the vitamin P in lemons strengthen your blood vessels, pectins lower your cholesterol levels in the blood and potassium helps prevents high blood pressure. In other words, if you want a healthy heart, lemons are a must in your daily diet.
