Nutrition Facts of Lemon


Lemon

The health benefits of lemon are due to its many nourishing elements. According to the USDA National Nutrient Database, lemon contains a good amount of vitamin C, and a small amount of a number of vitamins and minerals, including B-vitamins ( niacin, folate, thiamin, riboflavin) as well as potassium, zinc, and magnesium.

Improves Heart Health

Drinking lemon juice is useful for individuals experiencing heart issues since it contains potassium. It controls hypertension, dizziness, and nausea as it provides a calming sensation to both, the mind and body. According to a study published in the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism, daily lemon intake and walking (average body movement) were effective in reducing hypertension. Another study highlights the importance of foods rich in vitamin C in preventing various coronary heart disease.


Weight Loss

If a person drinks lemon juice mixed with lukewarm water and honey, it may help reduce body weight in people. A research study performed mice confirmed that polyphenols present in it suppress body weight gain and body fat accumulation. This could have positive implications for lemon juice drinks in human weight loss.
