Hello, fellow steemians, and the admin. How's everyone today? I would like to share with you the following six health benefits of Lemons, based on reliable evidence:

1. Lemons Maintain A Healthy Heart

Vitamin C is a derivative of lemons and of course a lemon gives about 31mg of vitamin C.
Aside from vitamin C, which is believed to be good for the heart, the fiber and plant compounds found in lemons possibly to a large extent reduce some health dangers associated with the heart.
For instance, plant compounds in lemons, such as hesperidin and diosmin, have been confirmed to reduce cholesterol. Check out the picture below.

2. Lemons Support Weight Loss

Lemons are usually advocated as a weight control diet based on a common theory that the soluble pectin fiber found in lemons enlarges in the stomach thereby making someone feel heavy for a longer time, without appetite for food. See the pictures below.

3. Lemons Inhibit Kidney Stones

Kidney stones are a few swollen parts of the body that form when waste products solidify and accumulate in the kidneys.
In fact, citric acid which is a derivative of lemon possibly helps inhibit the growth of kidney stones by boosting the amount of urine and also boosting urine pH, thereby making an unfavorable environment for the growth of kidney stone.

4. Lemons Defend The Body Against Anaemia

Anaemia, as a result of iron deficiency is very common. This lack of blood usually happens when a person does not derive sufficient iron from his diets. Lemons consist of mostly iron that inhibit anaemia by enhancing the body's absorption of iron from foods, including plant foods.

5. Lemons Lessen The Risk Of Cancer

A balanced food rich in fruits and vegetables may assist in impeding or forestalling the growth of some cancers. For example, according to one research team, plant compounds such as beta-cryptoxanthin and hesperidin, which are found in lemons even forestalled the development of malignant tumors in the tongues, lungs, and colons of rodents. Granted, some plant compounds found in lemons may likely fight against cancer,still, there is no sufficient proof that lemons have anticancer potential in humans.

6. Lemons Enhance Digestion

Lemons contain about 10% carbs, mainly in the form of soluble fiber. Nevertheless, to get the most out of fiber found in lemons, it is necessary to consume the flesh, and not only the juice.
Yes, drinking lemon juice alone, without eating the flesh that contain the fiber, results in losing the benefits of the soluble fiber in lemons, which could assist in enhancing digestion. See those images below.

Conclusively, at this juncture, i would like to express my gratitude to you, my fellow steemians, and the admin for going through this useful health tips on lemons, they are practical and trustworthy.
