Lemons are one of nature's superfoods.
It has natural antibacterial, antiseptic and antiviral properties and
is reported to aid in weight loss.
I use lemon juice every morning because I knew it was good for you and I decided to look up some information to see just how good it was so I could share it with you.
I usually put some Stevia natural sweetener in it and make
it my go to drink of choice but especially every morning.
Here are some good reasons to try it
for yourself.
It improves digestion – did you
know that digestion is the highest use of energy by the body? So if you eat a lot of that truck stop quick food this is a must, lol.
It helps balance your pH level –
Lemons juice is acidic but in the body it turns alkaline. Your pH
balance is necessary for proper body functioning but can be thrown
off by many things, including eating a poor diet.
Helps protect your cells – Lemon
juice provide cancer fighting protection for your cells. We are around diesel fumes and smoke all of the time. I know you see the dust in the truck stops. I always wonder about inhaling that stuff.
Helps to keep you from getting
kidney stones. According to fitsugar.com this is done by raising
the citrate level in the urine . Kidney stones are a result of poor
eating habits and other factors. Increase your water intake to help fight this also.
The aroma and consumption of lemon
juice is said to stimulate the senses and help fight fatigue. Excessive caffeine is not good for us. Maybe a strong dose of lemon water will help you wake you in the morning. Guess what though, I also read that the aroma can help with sleep at night. Strange how nature provides.
Lemon juice can also help relieve
fevers. It could help improve minor acne problems and skin
irritations too. There is even a treatment suggested at belief.net
for treating
eczema with a lemon juice wrap. It was also mentioned there that
it will work to get rid of corn and calluses. Fix that foot!
