Summer is coming, and on a hot summer day, nothing is more refreshing than a glass of lemonade. Lemonade makes you feel calm and refreshed right away. Lemon is a fruit with a flavour. Even a small amount of lemon juice can make a big difference in food and drinks. Adding a few drops of lemon juice to curries, soups, or drinks makes them taste better.
Known for adding flavour, freshness, and acidity to drinks and foods, lemons are the most commonly used citrus fruits. Lemons are also used for garnish and flavouring desserts. They can be juiced, cut into wedges, or grated to make lemon zest. This versatile fruit is an excellent source of vitamin C. Lemons are naturally low in calories and carbohydrates and are available all year long. They are a perfect fruit to keep on hand for salad dressings, seafood recipes, flavouring water, and more.
1. Prevents Wrinkles : It's all the ascorbic acid, which is another name for vitamin C. Since your body can't make it, you have to eat things that contain it. It helps your body make collagen, which gives your skin its fullness and elasticity. If there isn't enough, it will start to crease. Yes, that's also a natural part of getting older, but with the right vitamins and food, you can slow it down.
2. Boosts energy level : Thiamin and riboflavin are vitamins that help turn the food you eat into the energy you need. They are part of a group of vitamins called B complex. In addition, they help your cells grow and do their jobs. You can get a small amount of what you need every day from just one medium-sized lemon or lime.
3. Packed with Antioxidants : Vitamin C, phenolic acids, flavonoids, essential oils, and coumarins are all abundant in lemons and limes. They are part of a group of substances called antioxidants that protect the body. They work together to fight the bad guys, called free radicals, which damage your cells and cause diseases and other health problems.
4. Kills bacterias : Their high acid content gives your salad greens just the right amount of sour taste. It also kills salmonella bacteria which could reside on your food, your chopping board, or your kitchen counter. If you want to make sure your greens are clean, a mixture of half vinegar and half lemon juice should kill most of the bacteria in about 15 minutes.
5. Prevents Kidney Stones : High levels of citric acid in both the fresh fruit and the lemon juice concentrate can double the amount of citrate in the urine without changing how much urine is passed. Studies have shown that drinking lemonade or lemon juice concentrate can keep you from getting kidney stones by making your urine contain citrate, which stops crystals from forming.
6. Helps with throat infections : When a person has an infection in their throat, they are often told to take lemon cough drops. This is because lemons have antibacterial properties that will lessen the effects of the bacteria and make you feel better.
7. Supports hair growth : Lemon has a lot of vitamin C, which helps collagen and hair growth by making hair follicles work harder. If you have been losing hair, mix two tbsp of lemon juice with aloe vera gel and put it on your scalp 30 minutes before you take a bath. Then, rinse it off with a gentle hair cleanser.
