1, rich vitamin content is very beneficial to the body.
We know that lemon is rich in vitamin C, B 1, B2 and other trace elements, especially its vitamin C content is very rich. First of all, vitamin C is the main component of ascorbic acid. Drinking lemonade regularly can prevent septicemia. It is also equivalent to natural antibiotics, which can resist bacteria and diminish inflammation, refresh breath and enhance human immunity. Secondly, vitamins C, B 1, B2 and other elements in lemon have antioxidant effect, inhibit pigment deposition, promote skin metabolism, not only whiten skin, but also make skin more shiny and delay aging. In addition, vitamin C and vitamin P contained in lemon can regulate and increase the toughness and elasticity of blood vessels. Drinking lemonade for the elderly is beneficial to lowering blood lipid and blood pressure. Finally, we know that vitamin C can prevent colds and relieve cold symptoms. So we make one or two lemonade drinks every day to supplement various trace elements while maintaining beauty and health.
2, the effective role of citric acid and other substances.
Lemon is rich in citric acid, malic acid, quinic acid and other substances besides vitamins. Citric acid can promote the liver to excrete bile, participate in the work of digestive system, and play an auxiliary role in gastrointestinal digestion. In addition, citrate can prevent kidney calculi. The research results published at the annual meeting of the American Urology Association also show that drinking lemon juice regularly can improve the level of citrate in urine and prevent minerals in urine from forming crystals in the kidneys, that is, kidney calculi. Sour lemonade also helps to stimulate appetite and increase appetite. If you add a little honey, it will not only taste better, but also relax the bowels and help you lose weight.
3. Other economic values of lemons.
The lemons we eat at home are basically soaked in water, pickled with sugar or cooked with juice. In fact, lemon has great use value in cosmetics, pharmaceutical industry, food processing and so on. Lemon peel can be extracted and processed into lemon essential oil, which is not only an important raw material for cosmetics, but also an important component in the production of drugs for treating stones. In addition, lemon can also be made into fruit gum, which is used to produce medicines for treating stomach diseases and various candies and jams. Therefore, lemon not only has many health functions, but also is an important raw material for other processing industries. It can be seen that lemon is really a treasure fruit.
4. Pay attention to how special people eat.
Although drinking lemonade often is beneficial to all functions of the body, everything has its two sides, so there are still some things to pay attention to in diet, especially for some special people. First of all, smokers should pay attention not to eat lemon before and after smoking, which will affect the absorption of vitamin C. Mixing the two is not good for health. Secondly, the acidity of lemon is high, so it is not recommended for some people with bad stomachs, especially those with gastritis or gastric ulcer caused by hyperacidity. Citric acid can irritate the stomach and aggravate stomach discomfort. In addition, citric acid is easy to damage the enamel on the tooth surface, and frequent drinking can easily cause dentine hypersensitivity. Therefore, it is not recommended to eat lemons often because of bad teeth. Of course, if you really want to drink, you can use a straw or rinse your mouth immediately after eating to protect your teeth from injury. Also, it is not recommended to drink lemonade on an empty stomach in the morning.
Therefore, as long as you pay attention to a few small things, drinking lemonade often is really good for your health.
