According to the latest research, lemon juice may help lower cholesterol levels and improve cardiovascular health. These benefits are largely due to the high levels of flavonoids and vitamin C found in the juice. Lemon juice seems to work best when used along with garlic or honey. Low cholesterol levels equal better cardiovascular health.

Drinking lemon juice is a safe, natural way to keep your heart functioning optimally and get more vitamin C into your diet.

Plus, your skin will look younger and show a restored glow. Depending on your preferences, you can drink lemon juice first thing in the morning or anytime during the day. Feel free to add a tablespoon of honey, a few sprigs of mint or some fresh ginger.

This will enhance its flavor and healing power. Another option is to add fresh lemon juice to your favorite salads and raw desserts. You can also mix it with herbal tea or smoothies. Be aware that store-bought lemon juice is often loaded with sugar and artificial flavors. Make your own juice at home to fully reap its benefits.
