Die gesundheitsfördernden Eigenschaften von Zitronen wurden, unter anderem von Seefahrern, sehr geschätzt, die vor Jahrhunderten lange Monate auf See verbrachten und mit Skorbut, einer schmerzhaften Erkrankung der Mundhöhle, konfrontiert waren, hervorgerufen durch einen Mangel an Vitamin C.
Citric acid properties
Citrine contains a potent dose of vitamin C, which is an extremely potent antioxidant. The juice of an average lemon is able to meet up to half of our body's daily requirement for this vitamin. In addition to Vitamin C, lemon also contains small amounts of fish flavourings, thiamine, vitamin B6, and elements such as iron, copper, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, or magnesium. Regular consumption of lemon juice can have many health benefits. First of all, it strengthens the immune system and supports the body in the fight against pathogenic bacteria.
Use of lemon
A glass of summer water with lemon juice in the morning will provide energy, nourish and stimulate metabolism. It can also be added to many foods to enhance the flavor or extract a deeply hidden aroma.
