Lemon Benefits:

5. May Reduce Cancer Risk

🍋A healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables may help prevent some cancers

🍋Some observational studies have found that people who eat the most citrus fruit have a lower risk of cancer, while other studies have found no effects

🍋In test-tube studies, many compounds from lemons have killed cancer cells. However, they may not have the same effect on the human body

🍋Some researchers think that plant compounds found in lemons — such as limonene and naringenin — could have anticancer effects, but this hypothesis needs further investigation

🍋Animal studies indicate that D-limonene, a compound found in lemon oil, does have anticancer properties

🍋Another study used pulp from mandarins that contained the plant compounds beta-cryptoxanthin and hesperidin, which are also found in lemons. The study discovered that these compounds prevented malignant tumors from developing in the tongues, lungs, and colons of rodents.

🍋However, it should be noted that the research team used a very high dose of the chemicals — far more than you would get by eating lemons or oranges. While some plant compounds from lemons and other citrus fruits may have anticancer potential, no quality evidence suggests that lemons can fight cancer in humans.

Day 5: Master Cleanse
As you likely know by now...Both Tom & I are HUGE Essential Oil users.
☄️When we were first introduced to organic and therapeutic-grade essential oils we loved the results we were getting so much for our sleep, his cancer, and numerous other applications that... I decided to be a Distributor of Young Living Essential Oils and I still am today! I will be until I take my last breath...they are that good!
☄️☄One of the ADJUNCTS we use with the Master Cleanse to combat parasites and Candida overgrowth is a combination of the oils shown in this pic!
☄️We love knowing that we have that extra layer of protection against that all to common FUNGUS, and those nasty PARASITES that enjoy living in all of our bodies!!

BACK TO MORE BENEFITS OF LEMON from my research:
3. Prevent Kidney Stones
🍋Kidney stones are small lumps that form when waste products crystallize and build up in your kidneys.
They are quite common, and people who get them often get them repeatedly.
Yep, we've had them over here!
🍋Citric acid may help prevent kidney stones by increasing urine volume and increasing urine pH, creating a less favorable environment for kidney stone formation.
🍋Just a 1/2-cup (4 ounces or 125 ml) of lemon juice per day may provide enough citric acid to help prevent stone formation in people who have already had them.
🍋Some studies also found that lemonade effectively prevented kidney stones, but the results have been mixed.

Therefore, more well-conducted studies need to examine whether lemon juice affects kidney stone formation
4. Protect Against Anemia
Tom was quite anemic before his cancer diagnosis.
🍋Iron deficiency anemia is quite common. It occurs when you don’t get enough iron from the foods you eat.
🍋Lemons contain some iron, but they primarily prevent anemia by improving your absorption of iron from plant foods.

Day 4: of the MASTER CLEANSE and holding steady!

It's as much of a mental game as a physical one at this point!😜

Today I want to share with you why we do the cleanse and the #2/6 reasons Lemons are beneficial!

It's usually on this day that we start to see a change happen on the scale. Although, our intent is not to lose weight, it's a great side effect!

Again, it's a simple cleanse, it's just not easy!

We are doing this to give our digestive system a break, it tends to improve our sleep, gives us more energy (even after we stop), gives us more mind clarity, breaks our Sugar addictions!

Other internal benefits are: reduces inflammation, reduces swelling and pain, it detoxifies the skin to the point where we see trouble areas clear up!

We don't tend to have much by way of allergies but our friends have found theirs to be lessened. Some have even reported that physically, their flexibility has improved!

So back to the benefits of LEMON

🍋Helps Control Weight🍋

🍋Lemons are often promoted as a weight loss food, and there are a few theories as to why this is.

🍋One common theory is that the soluble pectin fiber in them expands in your stomach, helping you feel full for longer.

🍋That said, not many people eat lemons whole. And because lemon juice contains no pectin, lemon juice drinks will not promote fullness in the same way.

🍋Another theory suggests that drinking hot water with lemon will help you lose weight.

🍋However, drinking water is known to temporarily increase the number of calories you burn, so it may be the water itself that is helping with weight loss — not the lemon

🍋Other theories suggest that the plant compounds in lemons may aid weight loss.

🍋Research shows that plant compounds in lemon extracts may help prevent or reduce weight gain in a number of ways.

🍋In one study, mice on a fattening diet were given lemon polyphenols extracted from the peel. They gained less weight and body fat than other mice.
However, no studies confirm the weight loss effects of lemon compounds in humans.

So here we are in Day 3 of the Master cleanse!

We were both just chatting about how much better we feel in these first few days!

Do you know that bloating feeling?
It all goes away!

And those addictions to sugar… those are disappearing too!

You gotta love Lemon 🍋 tho!

🍋 Lemon has some 6 amazing Health benefits!

🍋First, Did you know…
Lemons Support Heart Health?

🍋They are a good source of vitamin C.

🍋One lemon provides about 31 mg of vitamin C, which is 51% of the reference daily intake (RDI).

🍋Research shows that eating fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C reduces your risk of heart disease and ….stroke!

🍋However, it’s not only the vitamin C that is thought to be good for your heart. The fiber and plant compounds in lemons could also significantly lower some risk factors for heart disease.

🍋For instance, one study revealed that eating 24 grams of citrus fiber extract daily for a month reduced total blood cholesterol levels!

🍋Who needs to lower cholesterol?

🍋It’s the plant compounds namely “ hesperidin”and “diosmin “that lower cholesterol! Who knew? Who will remember this? Not me!

Cheers! 🥂
