Lemon

Description

Lemons are not only low in calories and high in nutrients, but they also work at many levels in your system to guarantee everything in your body works a-okay. Here are the most exciting health benefits of consuming lemons, particularly when you mix freshly squeezed lemon juice with water.

Lemon juice is packed with antioxidants, molecules that bind with free radicals floating in your bloodstream. Free radicals are behind most modern disorders, from heart disease to brain degeneration and even hypertension and some types of cancer.

Keeping free radicals in check is a top priority, and lemon water can help. Other foods high in antioxidants include blueberries, dark chocolate, red wine, and olive oil. As you see, antioxidant-rich food and drinks are quite tasty!
