SEVEN BENEFITS

1. Heart healthy: lemons are packed with vitamin C, phytochemicals such as hesperidin and diosmin, and also fiber, all of which aid in keeping the heart and circulatory system healthy.
2. Kidney health: in some studies, citric acid is believed to reduce the risk of kidney stones, and may help to prevent their formation.
3. Vitamin C: the vitamin helps your body to absorb other nutrients, including calcium and iron. It’s also good for your skin health.
4. Anti-cancer: the vitamins and bioflavonoids in lemon juice have demonstrated antioxidant and anticancer properties in some studies.
5. Digestion: the acids in lemon juice are known to help your body’s digestive processes, and can help you overcome constipation as well as settle a queasy stomach.
6. Keeping cool: drinking lemon juice in lemonade may just help you perspire more, which in turn will help you stay cooler in hot weather – no wonder it’s a summertime fave!
7. Minerals: lemons contain iron and potassium, as well as smaller amounts of many other minerals such as calcium and magnesium; lemonade is a good way to stay hydrated and remineralize for a moderate workout.
