   There is definitely more to this unassuming fruit than meets the eye. While most commonly used as a base for salad dressings or to add flavor in cooking and baking, lemons actually have a lot more to offer than their current ‘bit part’ roles allow for.




Rich in potassium, folate, Vitamin B6 and thiamin, lemons also contain bankable amounts of magnesium, calcium, phosphorous and vitamins A and E.


 One lemon contains a whopping 187% of the recommended daily allowance.

Vitamin C is one of the quickest and easiest ways to boost your immune system. It helps neutralize free radicals associated with aging and disease and it’s also excellent for the skin.

The challenge though, comes in figuring out how to ingest more of them. Lemons are not exactly the sexiest of fruits are they? Come to think of it, neither are apples or bananas, but then at least they have taste and convenience going for them.

The answer is both surprisingly simple and very refreshing.

Warm water and lemon is a natural energizer. It hydrates and oxygenates the body, leaving it feeling refreshed and revitalized for quite some time. As opposed to coffee, whose effects are short lived.

Perhaps the biggest benefit of drinking warm water and lemon is that it helps to maintain your body in an alkaline state. Interestingly, while lemon juice itself is acidic, it’s actually one of the most alkaline foods available.

The foods that cause an imbalance in our pH levels are the usual ‘low to no nutrition’ suspects —sugar, processed or excessively fatty foods, alcohol, certain meats, etc., so it’s no wonder that cold and flu causing bacteria and viruses thrive in this acidic environment.

A diet overhaul is clearly in order if you fall into the above category, but a good first step is a daily regimen of a cup of warm water and the juice of half a lemon first thing in the morning.
