WHAT DOES LEMON DO FOR YOU?
By eating lemon, you can reduce cholesterol levels, regulate fat metabolism (reducing fat storage!) and help to eliminate retained water improving your blood flow. It is also good for digestion since it acts on bile secretion and purifies the digestive system.
As an antiseptic, lemon is a good natural drug against
mouth ulcers and bad breath.
It is also good for the gums and acts as a mild teeth whitener! To improve this effect, you can try rinsing with lemon juice mixed with warm water one to three times daily. - See more at:

WHAT ELSE CAN LEMON DO?
It can clean your house and repel insects. Antiseptic, astringent, antimoisture, grease-removal... Lemon juice works on tile junctures, windows, silverware, jewelry, copper, enamel…
Have your cotton laundry back to bright white by boiling it with soap and a slice of lemon!
You can use lemon to keep insects away. Moths don’t like it, so add lemon juice to the water when washing your linens. To repel ants, place little pieces of peal where the ants usually enter! For flying insects, hanging a slice to a string should do the trick.

IT CAN REPLACE SOME OF YOUR COSMETICS
For a fresh complexion, you can use lemon essential oil, extracted from its skin. Mixed with almond oil (count three drops of essential oil for one little spoon of oil) it gives you a healthy glow and has an anti-rosacea effect. (Be careful not to expose yourself to the sun after applying essential oil.)
For a shinier, glossier mane, rinse with the juice of two lemons mixed with 1L of water after shampooing. It eliminates built up residue and strengthens your scalp (even helping to protect from dandruff).

LEMON IS YOUR HANGOVER CURE!
Purifying your digestive system, activating toxin elimination, and turning nausea off, lemon is useful for those after party mornings. Its vitamin C provides energy and vigor. Just drink the juice of one lemon prior to eating. This drink should make you better that the last one you had!

NOT ALL LEMONS ARE CREATED EQUAL
There is no benefit in using lemon if you ingest pesticides with it, so try to choose organically grown lemons or the non-chemically treated variety.
