Drink Lemon water, sweetened with stevia or maplesyrup for your health.
They have 4 times the vitamin c than oranges. They enable the liver to make more enzymes than other food. They relieve indigestion such as heartburn, bloating and belching.

Limonoids, part of the lemons' structure, are potent anti-cancer cinogens that prevent cancerous cells from spreading. They cleanse the lymphatic system, invigorate skin tissue and increase blood flow. They conteract anxiety and depression, drain excess water retention and reduce uric acid whish is responsible for arthritis. They lower cholesterol. Their high mineral content is one reason why they are so alkalizing. They contain 48% potassium which nourishes the brain and nerve cells and 29% calcuim which nourishes the teeth and bones. It will raise your ph levels to drink FRESH squeezed lemon water daily. You will NOT get these benifits from canned lemon juice.
Fresh Squeezed lemon water has been helping me a lot with morning sickness too.
ReplyDeleteplease provide the ratio of lemon to water, the best time to drink it, and how many times a day? Thanks
ReplyDeleteI usually use 1/2 lemon for a normal sized cup. (12 to 16 oz) and 1/2 to a full package of stevia. Plus water and ice.
ReplyDeleteNo time. Just whenever you want. A full lemon a day would be good.
Enjoy!
