Nothing
to Be Bitter About - Lemons, the Superfood

Grandma was so smart in making
homemade lemonade. She knew that this bitter little fruit was packed full of
nutrition.
First and foremost, one of the
greatest benefits of lemons is that they are alkaline forming within the
body. Lemons are acidic going in but through the process of digestion, they
are one of the most potent foods to balance the body's pH.
Lemons are anionic – they
contain a negative ion charge, very beneficial to health as negative ions
help create dispersion and flow in the body, helping to un-clump red blood
cells.
Lemons are a rich source of
Vitamin C. Vitamin C is an antioxidant, which targets free radicals in the
body; it is also important in preventing colds, flu and scurvy. Humans don't
manufacture Vitamin C within the body, and must find outside sources for it.
The lemon peel is exceptionally high in Vitamin C and it is recommended to
zest lemon peel on your meals – it will make the taste pop. Remember,
antioxidant means anti-aging!
Lemons are antibacterial. Use
lemon juice mixed with water on your skin. It will help prevent acne and act
as a toner. It will also help brighten the skin, and lighten age spots.
Drinking lemon juice (diluted with water) helps to clean your blood of all
kinds of bacteria, including malaria, typhus, cholera, malaria, staph and
more.
Lemons clean the liver;
drinking lemon juice with water will liquify bile, stimulate the liver, and
dissolve uric acid.
