Lemons are extremely beneficial for your whole body. They contain many substances that have positive effects on various diseases and health problems.
Specifically, this fruit is extremely effective at removing internal parasites and regulating blood pressure.
The most important health effects of lemons
Besides the above, whole lemons can remove many toxins from your body.
They are also rich in vitamins and minerals, have antibacterial effects, improve digestion and suppress various types of pain, for example joint pain.
They also affect the mind, helping to reduce depression, anxiety and mental distress.
Experts therefore recommend that you do not throw away any part of the lemons. Everything – the pulp, the peel and even the seeds are very useful.
In fact, lemon peel contains 5 to 10 times more vitamins than the juice.
Experimental studies have shown that substances called limonoids, found not only in lemons but in all citrus fruits, can stop the growth and multiplication of cancer cells.
Their effect on breast cancer is particularly strong.
Besides these health effects there is another reason why you should enjoy whole lemons and not just their juice. The reason is their great taste.
How to consume whole lemons
The best way to consume whole lemons is as follows:
1. Get organic lemons that have not been sprayed.
2. Wash them well in lukewarm water (they may have been treated during storage) and place them in the freezer. You can freeze whole lemons or sliced pieces.
3. Before consuming, take them out of the freezer and grate them whole using a grater – that is, grate the peel together with the frozen pulp.
4. You can add these grated lemons to any other food, which will make it not only healthier but also much tastier.
Alternatively, you can also eat them directly – they will have a completely different taste than what you are normally used to.
They can be added to foods such as your favorite drinks, soups, pasta, breakfast cereals or ice cream. The choice is entirely up to you.
