When life gives you lemons, make lemonade and dozens of other foods and home remedies from this versatile fruit. Lemon’s health benefits
are due to the high concentration of vitamins B and C, antioxidants,
protein, flavonoids, phosphorus, potassium, carbohydrates and volatile
oils. Whether you’re using this superfood to prevent kidney stones or
making lemon-flavored cake icing, you’ll reap the benefits in flavor and good health.
Lemon juice was used in ancient Egypt to undo
the effects of food poisoning; and in India, Ayurvedic practitioners
prescribed lemon peel to treat liver ailments. The Sicilians used lemon
peel to make pickling brine and multiple cultures used it to prevent
scurvy. Both the peel and juice of lemons are still widely used today to
cleanse and tonify the liver. MORE: http://www.jbbardot.com/when-life-gives-you-lemons-make-100-home-remedies-to-improve-your-health/
