Have you ever wondered how nutritious the fruit from the evergreen tree is? Well, the juice of this citrus that gives you a sour face will surprise you with its health benefits! So when life gives you lemons, do not just make lemonade or lemon meringue pie, or grab a tequila and salt. Do not also think of squeezing it to your friend’s eyes. Let the tangy flavor of your lemon gives you an idea that life with a lemon is sweet. Put some zest in your water and find the following health benefits by yourself.
Refreshing lemon water can help to cure the problems related
to indigestion and constipation. It also detoxifies your body. The acids found
in lemon juice boosts your body to process the good stuff in your foods more
slowly. Prolonging the absorption means insulin levels remain stable and you
acquire more nutrients out of the foods you take. Better nutrient absorption
means less bloating, you will get a lighter and comfortable feeling! Lemon
water aids the enzyme functions in your system and helps the liver to flush
toxins. Because it’s a mild diuretic, you might find yourself using the
bathroom more often, helping the urinary tract get rid of any unwanted
elements.
On the other hand, some people strive hard to be lean and
fit. Good thing we have a so called “Lemon diet”. Your simple lemon-flavored
water can help you lose weight. Lemon contains pectin, it influences weight
loss from being a soluble fiber and it helps you control your appetite by
making you feel full. Lemon’s fiber is a colon friendly that promotes not just
healthy but sexy body.
Lemon water is loaded with vitamin C, potassium, vitamin B6,
vitamin A, vitamin E, folate, niacin thiamin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid,
calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus and protein and copper. It also
contains flavonoids, a compound that has an antioxidant and cancer fighting
properties. So by the next time you go to the super market, don’t forget to add
lemon on your grocery list and start taking lemon water!
