The health benefits of lemons

Lemons are a super food that have a great range of health benefits. Here are some of the benefits of lemons, but remember there are a few of us that are allergic to lemons so best to check first.

1. Lemons may fight against infection. They assist in the production of White blood cells and antibodies in the blood which attack the nasties trying to enter your body.
2. Lemons have antioxidant properties which fight against free radicals in the body.
3. Lemons may lower blood pressure and increase levels of good cholesterol.
4. Lemons may be linked to lowering some forms of cancer.
5. A few drops of lemon in water in the morning may help purify the liver and digestive system.
