Lemons (Citrus × limon) are small evergreen trees in the Rutaceae family, believed to have originated in northeastern India. The fruit is widely used globally for its juice, pulp, and zest, contributing to various culinary and non-culinary applications.
Key Benefits of Lemon
- Immune System Support: Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, lemons help fortify the immune system, potentially reducing the risk of infections.
- Digestive Health: The citric acid in lemons can aid digestion by increasing stomach acid levels, which may improve digestion.
- Kidney Stone Prevention: Citric acid in lemons may help prevent kidney stones by increasing urine volume and pH, creating a less favorable environment for stone formation.
- Skin Health: Vitamin C in lemons supports collagen production, which can enhance skin elasticity and reduce signs of aging.
- Heart Health: Regular consumption of lemons has been associated with a reduced risk of heart disease and stroke, possibly due to their vitamin C and flavonoid content.
