Lemon is a common, inexpensive and widely available citrus fruit known for its refreshing smells and popular drink flavor, but did you know that lemon also boasts a long list of health benefits?
Lemons are a good source of vitamins and minerals which are essential for a healthy and proper functioning body.
Like most citrus fruits, lemons are rich in vitamin C which is in and of itself a terrific antioxidant. Lemons also contain vitamin A, vitamin B6 and vitamin B1 (known as thiamine) in lesser amounts, but these vitamins are just as important.
Lemons also contain various minerals such as iron, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, potassium and zinc.
