Lemons, nothing to be sour about!
How lucky are we that nature has
given us these yellow sparkles that
appear on trees that make the world
a better and healthier place!
Did you know that lemons
have the power to:
•
•
•
•
•
Since I was a little girl I look
back in every house we lived,
the first tree my parents
would plant was a lemon tree
- we would practically dance
around the lemon trees when
I was younger and my parents
would always pick a few
lemons for family and friends.
They were everywhere and
used all year round. I even
eat a few slices when I need a
boost.

Stimulate saliva and prevents
the mouth from staying dry.
Act as a pain reliever as the
potassium in lemons has a
soothing effect
Assist with problems such as
nausea, dehydration, heartburn
and recovering from sunstroke
Enhance the taste of water so
you are more likely to drink
more water during the day
Hydrate you when you sweat
and perspire during summer
months
Boost your metabolism assisting
your digestive organs to remove
toxins from your stomach faster
Support your bowel and provide
natural relief for when you are
constipated
Improve your immune
system and your natural
defence system helping you to
fight viruses away
Enhance the beauty of your
skin naturally as lemons are an
excellent anti ageing drink
Make you feel brighter as the
potassium and B6 found in
lemons have a way of making
you cope better with your day
I am WILD about lemons especially
during Summer when I add them to
every salad and drink I make. They
are loaded with so much goodness
- high in Vit C and I always pick a
lemon cut it in small pieces add half
of it to a cup of warm water and
honey and that is my wake me up
drink every morning - the second
half I wrap up and it’s with me for
the day as I have 3 more lemon
uplift teas in the day - could it get
better than this? •
Lemons are rich in vitamin C, folate,
potassium, B 6 , fibre & flavonoids Enjoy adding lemons to your daily
regime this Summer!
