Can someone tell me the health benefits of lemon?

in #health6 years ago


-Lemons Improve Vitamin C Levels (64% of the daily value of Vitamin C in a 100g serving)
-Lemons Can Decrease Blood Cholesterol
-Lemons Can Alkalize Our pH (The 2.2 pH of lemons helps to alkalinize our own pH, due in part to the huge levels of citric acid. Outside the body, lemon juice is acid.)
-Lemon Boosts Liver Function (Having warm lemon juice upon waking helps to flush toxins from the liver due to its bitterness)
-Lemon Boosts Metabolism (With about 47 grams per liter, lemons are a major source of citric acid, a key part of the Krebs cycle essential for metabolic function.)

  • Lemon Boosts Gallbladder Function
  • Lemons Can Help Digestion (Lemons contain numerous phytochemicals, including polyphenols which are micronutrients full of antioxidants. What can polyphenols help with specifically? Digestion issues, weight management problems, diabetes, neurodegenerative illness, and circulatory illnesses, to name a few.
    -Lemons May Help Treat Acne (Lemons contain tannins, astringents responsible for the dry, pucker feel we get in our mouths after consumption. Natural astringents contain strong anti-inflammatory properties that can be used to decrease digestive system irritation while also improving digestion and inhibiting diarrhea.)
  • Helps Prevent Internal Hemorrhage (The bioflavonoids in lemons prevent internal hemorrhage by way of strengthening blood vessels. Therefore, making lemons very useful to those with high blood pressure. )

I hope that helped! Cheers!
