Lemon is one of the most indispensable fruit in our home, it is one of the most popular citrus fruit in the world. We use lemons in many recipes and we also love the taste of lemonade. In this article, we will look into some of the unknown benefits and remedies for which lemon is most commonly used.

Squeeze a lemon into a liter of warm water and drink this the first thing in the morning. It will keep your skin healthy and help flush toxins from the bowel and cleanse your stomach. Helps sets your gut up for the day. Your skin will thank you and your eyes will be clear. If you have sensitive teeth and are concerned about the enamel of your teeth, use a straw to drink. This practice will help to alkalize your body.
