Lemons
have long been used in traditional cooking both as a flavoring agent and a
medicinal remedy.
In fact, lemons have been proven to :
·
Fight Cancer
·
Lower cholesterol
·
Fight inflammation
·
Kill harmful bacteria

Regulate high blood pressure

Combat depression and stress

Detox your kidneys and liver
How Lemons Are Equipped To Fight Cancer
The
Department of Horticultural Sciences at Texas A&M University examined the
anti-cancer benefits of lemon and concluded that “citrus limonoids
may have potential for the prevention of estrogen-responsive breast cancer.”
And
it’s not just limonoids: “coumarins in lemon fruit are promising
chemopreventive agents by inhibiting radical generation.”
Lemons
are also rich in polyphenols, which have at least 100 positive effects on
cancer cells such as the antioxidant effect, says Leicester University’s
professor Will Steward, head of clinical oncology.
Other
than prevention, limonoids also showed promising result in promoting the
self-destruction of cancer cells in less than 12 hours. The quantity of
limonoids needed to have this affect is about equivalent to a glass of citrus
juice.
These
studies, among others suggest lemon may help prevent and possibly treat the
cancers of the mouth, breast, stomach, colon, childhood cancers and more.
Getting The Most Out Of Your Lemons
Lemon
peel contains 5 to 10 times more vitamins than the lemon juice itself.
In
fact, Dr Marilyn Glenville, a nutritionist and expert on women’s health, says
that eating a wider range of fruit peels is beneficial to our health. She told BBC food: “Most of the antioxidants contained
in fruit are found within the peel or the pith rather than in the pulp itself.”
More
specifically, the pith, pulp and peel of lemon contains “in particular
flavones, flavanones, flavanols, phenolic acids, limonoids, carotenoids,
coumarins, furocoumarins, polymethoxyflavones, and dietary fibre, among
others.”
And
so, Dr Glenville suggests: “It’s better to make a smoothie than a juice,
because you can whip everything up including the skin, and you’re not
discarding anything in terms of nutrient content.”
When
it comes to citrus fruits, smoothies aren’t ideal since they can be quite bitter.
The recipe bellow will show you how to get the most out of your lemon without
scrunching up your face from the strong flavor!
