12 Health Benefits of Lemons

1. Loads of Nutrients in a Low-Carb, Low-Calorie Package

Lemons contain powerful nutrients, packed in a low-carb, low-calorie fruit. In fact, the juice from ½ lemon contains just (1):

• 6 calories
• 2 grams carbohydrates
• 0.1 gram protein
• 0 gram fat
• 0.1 gram dietary fiber
• 10.8 milligrams vitamin C (18 percent DV)

In this low-carb package, you’ll also receive a small amount of thiamin, folate, pantothenic acid, calcium, magnesium, and copper.

Together, these nutrients provide the many benefits of lemons benefits listed below.

2. Immune System Support

Let’s start with Vitamin C. This water-soluble vitamin has been linked to immune health, and a reduction in inflammation and oxidative stress.

In fact, one review showed that adequate vitamin C could reduce the duration of common colds and respiratory infections (2).

It may also reduce and/or prevent malaria, diarrhea, and pneumonia.

3. Lemons’ Citric Acid vs. Kidney Stones

Lemons contain powerful citric acid.

This acid can increase urine volume and help prevent kidney stones.

In one study, 11 kidney stone sufferers drank lemonade for 4 years and experience an almost 90% reduction in kidney stone formation (3) (4).

In another study, lemon juice was shown to decrease the calcium in urine, indicating a reduced risk of stone formation (5).

4. Powerful Antioxidants

A lemon’s antioxidants neutralize harmful free radicals that are in the body due to environmental toxins, food toxins, and natural biochemical reactions.

What’s more, antioxidants can help reduce plaques in arteries by preventing the oxidation of cholesterol.

5. Heart Health

Vitamin C in lemons goes beyond the immune system and can benefit the heart as well.

One study showed that increases in fruit and vegetable intake, especially high-vitamin-C options, reduced heart disease by 4 percent (6).

Other studies have shown reduced blood pressure with increased intake of lemons (7).

6. Cancer Fighter

Another benefit of lemon antioxidants?

They can fight cancer cells.

In lab studies, lemon extract has killed breast cancer cells. In other studies, lemon juice has stopped the growth of other types of cancer cells (8) (9).

How?

It’s hypothesized that lemons’ compound hesperidin and d-limonene have anti-cancer properties. (10, 11).

7. Healthy, Youthful Skin

Lemon juice is a great anti-aging drink option, and can actually improve skin health.

Again, it’s the antioxidants fighting the free radicals.

Free radical build-up can contribute to aging skin, which results in wrinkles age spots, dryness, and loss of elasticity. Antioxidants, from the outside in, and inside out, may improve this condition (12).

In fact, studies have shown that those who suffer from severe acne often have a high level of oxidative stress in the body (13).

8. Anti-Nausea Properties

If you suffer from nausea, whether from a physical condition, medications or otherwise, lemons can help.

Amazingly, both the smell and taste of lemons can provide relief. Try cutting a lemon and smelling it when a wave of nausea comes on, placing lemon slices in simmering water to infiltrate a room with the scent of lemon, or drinking Fresh Keto Zone Lemonade.

9. Bacteria Fighter for Oral Health

Lemons contain anti-bacterial compounds that can reduce putrefactive bacteria in both the intestines and the mouth. This can reduce bad breath and gastrointestinal distress.

What’s more, the citric acid in lemons can help bust up mucus. Many people suffer from mucus production that clogs their throats. Drinking Keto Zone Lemonade can help.

10. 11. 12. More Vitamin C Benefits

There’s more benefits of lemons and vitamin C.

Vitamin C from lemons also:

• Increases iron absorption
• May reduce blood uric acid levels to help prevent gout
• Protects memory and may reduce cognitive decline (29, 30).

Bottom Line

If you thought that lemons were a common, boring, sour fruit, you may want to think again. Lemons offer a plethora of health benefits, and you can enjoy them each day with Keto Zone Lemonade.
