Fruit are a true source of energy, vitamins and pleasure. Their presence is synonymous with life and happiness, as well as health. Among them, citrus fruits are particularly noteworthy, especially the lemon, which is one fruit which offers the greatest benefit for the whole family’s health. Its healing power is found in its low energy value, a balanced level of sodium and potassium and, as we all know, its high vitamin C content.
As the lemon has such a low level of carbohydrate, it is of great help when losing weight. Eating lemon means taking in vitamin C without additional calories. It has an abundance of vitamin C which strengthens the body’s defences to avoid illness, particularly in the respiratory system – anything from simple catarrh, hoarseness, tonsilitis, to pneumonia, bronchitis, colds, flu, pleurisy, asthma, etc.
Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, has a great disinfectant strength and also has antitoxic action against microbial poisons and medication. Along with vitamin C, lemons also contain vitamin P which helps tone the blood vessels and capillaries.
This vitamin is also called the capillary permeability vitamin: without it the blood capillaries become fragile and may break easily, causing small haemorrhages.
It helps to heal all types of injuries when taken internally and applied externally.
Lemons are very rich in minerals particularly potassium, magnesium, calcium and phosphorous (they also contain sodium, iron and fluoride).
Potassium for example is an essential component for life and beneficial for the treatment of hypertension.
Lemons contain some B complex vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, PP).
Vitamin B1 (thiamine) prevents and cures the illness beriberi whose symptoms are paralysis, oedema and insufficient cardiac function. It is also involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates.
Vitamin PP (niacin) prevents pellagra or rough skin, an illness which shows itself through inflammation of the skin, poor digestion and mental disorders. This vitamin is vital to maintain the skin’s health, the digestive system and the nervous system.
It is a fruit which could be defined as medicinal par excellence as it contains healing properties for more than 150 illnesses.
In any part of the body where toxins are found, whether in the blood, the organs or the tissues, once ingested, the lemon goes to combat them, dissolving their accumulation and expelling them.
In cases of food poisoning from consuming bad food or a bad combination of food, or slow digestions and liver and gallbladder ailments, the lemon acts by returning the affected functions to normal, neutralising toxins and helping eliminate them.
It is the best protector against infectious illnesses.
In cases of fever it helps to eliminate it, oxidising and excreting toxins which have not been duly neutralised and eliminated, which the exception of rheumatic fever.
The lemon is good for cases of high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular disease as it stimulates the circulation. In cases of diabetes it helps to avoid complications related to the arteries.
It prevents kidney stones from forming and may even slowly dissolve them.
As with any other medication, its consumption is directly linked to the physical state of each person as it is a great aid to health yet its consumption must be restricted in use against particular conditions when it may not be recommended for sufferers of these ailments.
It is not recommended in cases of mineral and calcium deficiency, anaemia, rickets, fragile bones, gum inflammation, weak and rotten teeth, mouth and throat ulcers, a cracked tongue, wounds on the skin, the elderly or weak children, insomnia, acidosis, sensitivity to acids, chronic constipation, inflammation of the prostate, inflammation of the uterus, bladder or oesophagus, while menstruating, nervous disorders.
There are numerous fruits which have similar characteristics to the lemon within citrus fruits, such as pomelos, limes and grapefruit.
The amount to take depends on each person and their biological constitution. For example, people with a strong constitution can tolerate more than the elderly and children, people who are obese more than slim people, and is taken better in summer than in winter as the cold slows its elimination through the skin.
Depending on these factors, anything from small amounts of juice to half a lemon may be taken and those who are able to tolerate it may take the juice of up to three lemons daily.
The lemon is the champion among healing and preventative fruits and a great provider of vitamins, as it is a great eliminator of toxins and a powerful bactericide.
