10 Reasons To Love Lemons

 

10 reasons to love lemons

Lemons are among the most delectable and heart melting citrus fruits. Lemon is primarily known for its juice rich in vitamin C.

In fact, only one lemon provides you with 64% of your recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C.

The lemon zest and ring are where the tantalizing citrus aroma lies; the reason why lemons are used baking, liqueurs, beverages and aromatherapy. But we haven’t heard it all yet! When we think we’ve got enough, Nature comes back with new ways to surprise us!

Find out 10 other amazing properties of lemon that you probably didn’t know about!

Potent Germicide

Germicide

Lemon juice is so acidic that germs can’t survive it. In fact, the pH of lemon juice is 2, compared to the pH of gastric acid, which is 1.

This means that lemon juice is almost as acidic as the hydrochloric acid present in the stomach, though it might not be as bubbling. And germs tend to develop in an alkaline environment, which makes lemon juice their primary enemy!

Efficient Surface Cleaner

The germicidal capacity of lemon juice is one of the reasons why it is commonly used as a surface cleaner. But in addition to that, pure lemon juice can be used to polish surfaces and restore their brightness and shine. Rub your cooking pots with a combination of lemon juice and baking soda, and they will shine as if they were new. Wipe your tables and wooden furniture with lemon juice, and they will become as lustrous as on the very first day!

Food Preservative

Lemon juice, when combined with salt (one measure of lemon juice vs. two measures of salt) can help you get rid of rusty stains.

Clearer Skin

Clear Skin

We already know how lemon contributes to our health (with its provision of Vitamin C, mainly). But how does it contribute to giving us a clearer and more beautiful skin? In fact, Vitamin C is an antioxidant that works at all levels. When it comes to the skin, it prevents cell damage and promotes cell renewal. This contributes to a decrease in skin blemishes, black spots and facial wrinkles, for instance.

Lemon Water to Aid in Weight Loss

Weight Loss

Lemons are rich in pectin fibers, which are known for attenuating our food cravings. Consequently, we don’t feel the urge to eat as frequently, thus making us more prone to weight loss.

Lemon oils for Mind Relaxation

A part from the physical relaxation that lemon essential oils provide, lemon oil also has calming effects on the nervous system and provides relief in case of anxiety, exhaustion, tiredness, nervousness and tension.

Lemon Peel to Clear up Eczema

Eczema

With its anti-inflammatory action, lemon peel is able to manage and diminish an eczematous reaction. The lemon essential oil could also work.
