Lemons

Lemons have so many benefits that they are worth incorporating into any diet. Limes have similar benefits.

• They initially increase acid levels because of their citric acid content.
• Their metabolism results in a net alkaline residue, or ash [4].
• They have an alkalising effect helping to reduce excess acid caused by consumption of animal products
• They are a source of vitamin C, which has antioxidant properties.

I find it very difficult to eat sour fruit. In fact I have never been keen on anything sour. I find it easier to squeeze the whole fruit or half the fruit into a glass and then topping it up with warm water. Drinking a glass every morning aids the digestive system and ensures smooth bowel function.
