- Boosts the immune system
As you might already know, lemons are super rich in
vitamin C. And what is vitamin C?! It’s one of the
most powerful antioxidants that protect our body from toxins, bacteria and all nasty stuff. Vitamin C is said to boost our immune system and help us go through some stressful moments. So, keep this in mind next time you get mad with your child’s behavior!

Journal of Nutrition says that ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in lemon is in retroaction with the
body mass. This means that people who take more vitamin C weigh less than people who have low vitamin C content in their bodies.

Having in mind how powerful ascorbic acid is, it would be a shame not to be a good source against cold and flu. Good thing to know is that lemon juice is said to be great when
having a temperature. How it does it? Well, to put it simply, it can stimulate sweating. So, next time you’re having fever drink a glass of water, lemon juice and a teaspoon of honey.
