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 cup of #lemonjuice, 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.
