Lime or Lemon Benefits

Lime or lemon are a good source of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, which may help aid in digestion, respiration and the prevention of cancer.

Lime  like all citrus fruits are rich in vitamin C. Just 100mls of lime juice has 38mg of vitamin C, more than the 30mg recommended daily intake. Lime are also a good source of pectin which can help reduce blood cholesterol.

One of the benefits of lemon or lime in your drinking water involves digestion. Adding them to a warm glass of water cam promote better digestion and relieve common symptoms such as heartburn, indigestion, gas, bloating, loss of appetite, vomiting and constipation.

Ten reasons why you should have warm lemon or lime juice in the morning.

Cut half of the citrus fruit, squeeze out the juice, mix with half glass of warm water. Drink in the morning half and hour before breakfast. 

1) The warm lemon water helps purify and stimulate the liver. Lemon/lime water liquefies bile while inhibiting excess bile flow.
2) Warm lemon/lime water aids digestion. It's atomic composition is similar to saliva and the hydrochloric acid of digestive juices.

3) The liver produces more enzymes from lemon/lime water than any other food, according to A.F. Beddoe, author of Biological Ionization as Applied to Human Nutrition.
4) The lemon/lime water helps bowels eliminate naturally and easily.

5) Lemons and limes are high in potassium. Potassium is an important mineral that works with sodium for smooth electrical transmission in the brain and nervous system. Depression, anxiety, fogginess, and forgetfulness can often be traced to low potassium blood levels. That same nervous system needs potassium to assure steady signals to the heart. So your heart health is improved from the lemon water's potassium.
6) Calcium and magnesium are plentiful in good ratio to each other in lemon/lime water. Magnesium is important for heart health and calcium prevents rickets.

7) Lemon/lime water can help lower blood pressure.
8) Lemon/lime water has an alkalizing effect in the body as it is buffered. Even if you drink it just before any meal, it will help your body maintain a higher pH than if you didn't drink it. The higher or more alkaline your pH, the more your inner terrain is resistant to minor and major disease.

9) Helps dilute uric acid, which if it accumulates it creates arthritic pain or gout.
10) Helps reduce phlegm in the body.
