26 Apr Why You Need to Eat More Lemons
Here are 3 reasons why, when life gives you lemons, you shoud eat them.
Magic Balance
Lemons are alkalizing for the body: Lemons are acidic to begin with but they are alkaline-forming on body fluids helping to restore balance to the body’s pH.
Search & Destroy
Lemons have powerful antibacterial properties; experiments have found the juice of lemons destroy the bacteria of malaria, cholera, diphtheria, typhoid and other deadly diseases.
Your Yellow Chill Pill
Research has shown that lemon balm has a calming effect and therefore may be able to help remove fatigue, exhaustion, dizziness, anxiety, nervousness, and tension. It is also believed that inhaling lemon oil helps in increasing concentration and alertness.
Enjoy your lemons

Posted at 14:41h, 07 MayDaily a Leamon in the morning is good for health?
the_chelf@yahoo.gr
Posted at 10:42h, 08 Mayyes it is, not necessarily in the morning because they are acidic and you run a risk of discomfort but if you try it out and feel good about it yes, they are indeed a great boost!
