When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! That's a good, positive attitude, but it is also a good health tip! Lemons have many health benefits: Lemons are alkalizing for the body (which seems wrong since they are so acidic). Lemons will help balance the body's pH. Lemons are rich in vitamin C and will help ward off a cold. Fresh lemon juice added to a large glass of water in the morning is a great liver detoxifier. A lemon contains 22 anti-cancer compounds. Even the lemon peel has health benefits. The lemon is the ONLY food in the world that is Anionic (the lemon electron has a negative charge). All other foods are cationic (the lemon’s outer electron has a positive charge.) This makes it extremely useful to health as it is the interaction between anions and cations that ultimately provides all cell energy.
When your neighbor gives you a bag of lemons off their tree and you can't possibly eat them all, squeeze them and freeze the juice in ice trays. You can take out a few at a time and make lemonade or add them to recipes. I grate the lemon peel (zest) and freeze them in measurements of 1 Tablespoon to add to recipes.
Lemons are good for your body and your environment. Enjoy them year round!
