For
generations of Americans, nothing shouts “Summertime!” like a tall, cold glass
of lemonade. Medical experts now tell us that this sweet and tangy treat can
help resolve or prevent a passel of serious health problems. That’s because
lemons are rich in phytonutrients that are associated with the prevention and/or
treatment of at least four of the leading causes of death in Western countries:
cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and hypertension.
What’s
more, although lemons are acidic, they increase the alkalinity of our bodily
fluids — and an alkaline system is key to maintaining good health. Here’s a
sampling of the fabulous feats that a daily glass of lemonade can perform for
you:
- Boost your immune system
- Cleanse your system of toxins and impurities
- Conquer cravings for cigarettes and alcohol
- Improve your mood
- Increase your energy level
- Prevent kidney stones
- Protect against adult asthma
- Reduce acid reflux
- Speed weight loss
