Posted withregram • twistperformance I love lemons. Like...really really love them, in fact, I'm drinking lemon water with dandelion + nettles right now. I'm one of those psychos that will eat an entire lemon like an orange and put a whole one in with my veggie smoothies. (make sure you wash them well)

But wait! There's more! I also put lemon rind in with my cleaning vinegar, use the essential oil with rosemary + cedar at the office (it's diffusing as I type) and have been known to use a couple wedges in my hair during the summer to give my locks some sun kissed highlights. 
Lemons are awesome. 
They have Vit C, potassium, flavonoids, folate and are low in sugar. 
Here are some other Fun Facts you may not know about these lovely little sunshine fruits: .

1) It's a low calorie way to add zing to your delicious water or teas, salads or veggie dishes and just about anything else you eat (who doesn't love cooking with lemons?) .

2) Many naturopaths and holistic nutritionists have claimed it helps improve your mood, digestion, energy levels, immune system and metabolic health. .

3) Lemons have antioxidant properties that appear to help protect your cells from damage. Flavonoids from citrus fruits are often linked with benefits for blood circulation, insulin sensitivity and other aspects of metabolic health. .

4) Studies show that lemon water can help treat kidney stones. It appears most effective alongside conventional therapy, but may also be a useful alternative treatment. .

5) Lemons contain soluble pectin fiber - which has been shown to help keep you fuller longer. However, you would need to eat the whole lemon (blenders are your friend), to get the full benefits. .

AND they are yellow which is a happy colour.! .

YAY LEMONS! .
