Lemon Health Benefits

Lemon juice has many positive effects on the health; here are some of the common benefits of lemon on the health:

• Lemon has the ability to boost the immune system
• Lemon provides the body with a high level of antioxidants
• Lemon has been associated with anti-cancer properties
• The Vitamin C found in lemon has the ability to reduce cholesterol
• Lemon can reduce the free radicals within the body

Free radicals are dangerous cells within the body that have no purpose and interact with other healthy and functioning cells in the body. These cells can potentially damage the healthy cells and therefore the body can suffer, as well as the natural processes of the body. Lemon has been demonstrated to have the ability to travel through the body once ingested, neutralizing the free radicals in the cells that the lemon comes into contact with.

Vitamin C is an important part of the bodily systems. An effective amount of vitamin C within the body can effectively reduce free radicals but can also ensure that the immune system is in top shape. Those suffering from conditions which can affect the immune system can often benefit from additional doses of lemons within the diet, or lemon juice to boost the immune system and create the necessary attention through cold and flu season, as well as any other bacterial infections that one may come into contact with throughout their daily life experiences.

To remove the toxins from the system there are many people that take part in lemon cleanses. As a side effect to these cleanses an individual is often able to lose weight while completing the cleanse. In fact, one of the most popular cleansing programs includes lemon in combination with cayenne pepper and syrup in order to rid the body of toxins that can lead to weight gain and other elements individuals wish to avoid within the body.
