RECIPE 

  • Fresh juice of 1/2 lemon or lime
  • Slice of ginger (optional)
  • 1/10th teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 pint of filtered water

Directions

Cut and squeeze the juice of the lemon or lime into a cup. Thinly slice a small amount of ginger (if using) and also place into the cup. Measure out the cayenne pepper (again if using) and mix into the cup. Add the filtered water and mix all the ingredients thoroughly.

Lemon health benefits

The top vitamin you will benefit from in lemons is vitamin C which is a natural antioxidant. Antioxidants neutralise free radicals and prevent many diseases and illnesses from forming lemon benefitswithin the body. Vitamin C is great for boosting the immune system and preventing the occurrence of common colds and flus. One of the most important health benefits of lemons is that they are alkaline. Drinking lemon juice regularly ensures the body’s PH level is in balance. When we consume too many acidic foods, namely processed and refined foods, meat and coffee, the PH level changes in our body to very acidic. Many diseases are known to form in acidic environments so it is important to detox with alkaline foods.

Lemons have long been used to treat ailments such as colds and flus, respiratory problems and high blood pressure. The anti-inflammatory properties in lemons have been found to ease the pain in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Lemons have been found to be an effective blood purifier. Minerals which can be found in lemons include iron, magnesium and zinc.
