Keep your water Lemony Fresh!

What is so special about lemons anyway? They are more than just a garnish for food and mixed drinks. Lemons are filled with nutrients including vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and fiber. The lemon's high acidity is unkind on tooth enamel, so it is always important to dilute the lemon's juices in water, preferably lukewarm. Hopefully this article will provide more insight into this ultra bitter fruit.

The benefits of lemon water are numerous, for starters they are a source of potassium which improves the functioning of the heart, brain, kidney, and muscular function. Instead of Gatorade during a workout try a mix of lemon juice with green tea. The combination can replenish and re-balance the minerals in the body as well as provide a push of energy.

The digestive system benefits from lemon water as the pectin fiber can activate digestion and eliminate accumulated waste from the previous day. Surprisingly lemon water can promote good vision as the vitamin C along with antioxidants can create a protective effect against cataracts and macular degeneration. More on the antioxidants, these can protect against blemishes and wrinkles on the skin, giving skin a smoother and healthier appearance.

The liver also benefits tremendously from the effect of lemon juice as they help with the elimination of toxins. The citric acid in lemons is a powerful weapon which allows the liver to dispel harmful bacteria.

What might come as a surprise is that despite lemon's citric acid content they have an alkalizing effect on the body. This means they balance out PH levels in the body. This effect reduces inflammation as harmful uric acid is removed from the body which can reduce susceptibility to illness.

One of the best is that lemon juice can boost metabolism and reduce hunger cravings. A great way to get more of this precious lemon juice is to make a fresh lemonade with freshly juiced lemons. Invest in the Omega Juicer for this, its an easy way to fully juice multiple lemons at once.
