If more encouragement is needed, check out the following benefits of lemons.
Lemons are rich in Vitamin C which helps to neutralize free radicals linked to aging and most types of disease. The lemon peel contains tangeretin, a phytonutrient which has been proven to be effective for brain disorders like Parkinson’s disease. The practice of Ayurveda medicine values the lemon’s medicinal properties. While lemons are sour, they are actually warm, thereby promoting gastric fire, light and better vision. Lastly, when there is insufficient oxygen and one has difficulty in breathing (such as when mountain climbing) lemons are very helpful.
