Did you know that Lemons are a species of small evergreen tree native to Asia??

One of the BIGGEST misconceptions is that because Lemons are acidic… they stay acidic in the body and aren’t good for us..

Personally, I can’t handle drinking 2 to 3 litres of water everyday without there being some sort of taste to it. Lemons add a beautifully fresh taste to your water, which can help with taking in more of the water our bodies need daily.

The health benefits of Lemons sit an astoundingly high level due to its many elements like vitamin C, vitamin B6, vitamin A, vitamin E, folate, niacin thiamin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, copper, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, phosphorus and protein. These little yellow powerhouse contain more potassium than grapes!!!

Within our everyday Lemon that you can buy for around £0.40p each… contains antioxidant and cancer fighting properties.

Some of the benefits of drinking lemon water everyday are:

HELPS YOU LOSE WEIGHT!!!

Lemons contain a type of fibre that helps you fight those unbearable hunger cravings. This type of fibre is very

beneficial for colon health and also serves as a powerful antibacterial.

Removes unwanted toxins and BOOSTS immune system!!!

Lemons are also a diuretic and can help flush out bad bacteria and toxins from the body.

Lemon juice is an AWESOME immune system booster and can help in fighting off certain infections due to

its antibacterial properties.

Helps with DIGESTION!!!

Lemon performs sort of like a cleansing agent, they encourage healthy digestion by loosening toxins in your

digestive tract. As lemon juice is similar in atomic structure to the stomach’s digestive juices, it has a positive effect

on the gastrointestinal tract.

Naturally REDUCES inflammation!!!

It helps reducing pain and inflammation in joints and knees as it dissolves uric acid. Lemon is also a diuretic and can

treat rheumatism and arthritis. Lemon is highly effective against uric acid which is constantly produced by the body.

When uric acid is not removed by the body as quickly as it should then the excess is deposited in the joints causing

arthritis and rheumatic pain, and can produce inflammation of the kidneys as well.

Lemon can help cure the COMMON COLD!!!

Warm lemon water with honey helps loosen congestion and prevents dehydration.
