Pucker up for lemon juice 🍋

Among numerous other health benefits, the acidic nature of lemon juice blunts blood sugar spikes and helps control the release of energy after a meal. Also:
Lemon juice is an excellent source of vitamin C- a 1/4 cup of lemon juice, just 15 calories’ worth, packs almost 50 percent of your daily value.
One study in the journal “Public Health Nutrition” found that low vitamin C increased the likelihood of developing abdominal fat by 131 percent.
Another study of more than 20,000 people showed that people who ate the most vitamin-C rich foods were three times less likely to develop arthritis than those who ate the least.
Vitamin C helps prevent cholesterol from sticking to cell walls, and lemon’s flavonoids attack free radicals and protect against cancer.
