In my attempt to drink less Diet Coke I have started to drink more water then usual. By doing this I will have almost 70oz at work each day by squeezing lemons in my water. As you can read below the health benefits are great!
"When life gives you a lemon... squeeze it, mix it with six ounces of distilled water and drink twice daily."
The value of eating lemons is reported by Jethro Kloss in his book Back to Eden:
"The medicinal value of the lemon is as follows: It is an antiseptic, or is an agent that prevents sepsis [the presence of pathogenic bacteria] or putrefaction [decomposition of tissue]. It is also anti-scorbutic, a term meaning a remedy which will prevent disease and assist in cleansing the system of impurities."
Due to the digestive qualities of lemon juice, symptoms of indigestion such as heartburn, bloating and belching are relieved. By drinking lemon juice regularly, the bowels are aided in eliminating waste more efficiently thus controlling constipation and diarrhea.
