Lemon Juice Magic
Today is National Lemon Juice Day! Lemon is one of my favorites! I use it in dressings, in my water, on fish and seafood and when mixed with butter and herbs it creates an amazing sauce to liven up your favorite weeknight dinners!
Lemons are known to be jam-packed with vitamin C, antioxidants, and other nutrients that help your body work at optimal level! Here are some amazing benefits and reasons to add a little squeeze of lemon to your water or drizzle over your salmon tonight for dinner!
Aids in heart health and helps to lower cholesterol and blood pressure
Improves digestive health by helping out digestive enzymes and with the pulp added you get a boost of fiber!
Can help prevent kidney stones.
Helps your immune system, which we know we all need a high-performing immune system right now!
Hydration is key and lemon juice helps balance your electrolytes!
A great way to start your day to help increase hydration; pour yourself a glass of water, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice (about 1 ½ teaspoons), and a pinch of sea salt (I prefer Celtic sea salt) (about 1/8 of a teaspoon).
I personally think this helps me feel energized all morning long as well!
