4 reasons to eat lemon and lime

2. For their antioxidants
The lemon and lime contain many antioxidants, including flavonoids, which are well-known anti-cancer agents. Clinical studies have demonstrated the positive effect of limonene on cancers of the mouth, breast, lungs, stomach, and colon. It has even been shown that the anti-cancer properties of lemons and limes were still present in the body 24 hours after eating them! In comparison, the antioxidants contained in tea or dark chocolate only have an effect for about 4 hours.

3. For their antibiotic and antiviral effect
Several studies and experiments have revealed fascinating properties with lemon and lime. For example, lime juice is a first-line weapon in West Africa against cholera epidemics. Indeed, this juice can very effectively prevent this bacterial infection. In addition to acting as an antibiotic, lemon and lime also have an antiviral effect, which helps fight and minimize a cold, for example.

4. For the digestive properties of lemon and lime
Lemons and limes contain digestive enzymes, which can give a good boost to our system. These enzymes are indeed very similar to those naturally contained in our digestive system. For years, when I have a stomach ache (indigestion or heartburn), I make myself a lemon tea from a bag or just with a few slices of lemon in hot water. This "grandmother's remedy" works almost every time! Plus, the relief is very fast.
