Let the Lemon Do The Miracle
« on: April 25, 2009, 04:47:18 PM »

Lemon is considered to be a sacred fruit since time immemorial in various cultures of the world. It is also associated with rituals to drive away evil spirits, to break up the spells of black magic and to bring health and prosperity. Superstitions aside, lemon is a fruit which is good for health and can cure many diseases.

Lemon contains valuable acids — citric, malic, potassium citrate etc, in addition to vitamin C. These interact with one another to help in the absorption of iron and calcium, improve haemoglobin in the blood and strengthen the bones. These acids also help in dissolving waste products such as uric acid, excessive fat and cholesterol. Because of its effect on the accumulated fat in the body, lemon juice was the first natural tonic given to weight watchers throughout the world.

Lemon is rich in vitamin C, the deficiency of which leads to rickets and defective teeth formation in young children and also causes gastro-intestinal disorders. Vitamin C plays a major role in the formation of collagen which is essential to keep the skin smooth, wrinkle free and soft.

Lemon as a beauty aid:

To improve skin texture and complexion, squeeze a fresh lemon in a glass of boiled milk and add 20 ml of glycerin. Let it stand for 30 minutes and then apply to the face, hands and other exposed areas of the body. Let it dry overnight and wash it the next morning. You will see gradual improvement in your skin with regular use of this face pack.

This preparation also helps to cure cracked heels and palms. It prevents pimples, freckles and dry skin. On application to nails, they became soft and healthy and it is the only cure to reduce brittleness of the nails.

Drink a glass of butter milk adding the juice of a half lemon every morning as a beauty tonic.

The paste of tender lemon leaves with a pinch of turmeric powder, works wonderfully to cure pimples, pimple scars, softens the skin and improves the complexion.

Mix 75 ml of tender coconut water with the juice of one lemon and 75 ml of carrot juice and take regularly to improve the output of urination and to cure bags under the eyes and generalized edema.

Lime juice for hair removing:

For safe, home-made wax to get rid of unwanted hair, mix lemon juice with dissolved sugar and apply over the skin. This can be regularly used in stead of wax.

ngek! di ko yan kaya, dong! 

i had lots of lemon late last year so i made lemon marmalade.  even if it's sweet, i can still taste the bitterness because th rind was included in cooking.  it's still good though especially if you rub it to a barbecue together with the barbecue sauce.

This is another fruit that has been known for its therapeutic properties for generations. It is also a root of any home remedy and is normally used to help the stomach ( because they have special cleansing effect).

Lemon is one of the fruits that would strengthen your immune system. If you have flu or colds, try drink lemon juice. It will relieve the symptoms as well as halt the progress of most infection. Why ? Because of its antibacterial and antiviral properties.

Lemon is also a skin whitener.

Lemon sliced into cirl peices and put in between salmon cod or Alaskan hallibut with kraft mayonais and sliced yellow onion rings wraped in auluminom is also mighty tastey and the auluminom seals in the flavor and all the juices try avoid salting the fish or any meats prior to baking as the juice of the meat will be dried up leaving you meat hard and salty tasting.

Lorenzo ha ha ha ha it is not suppose to sound funny in how i wrote it but it just came out that way! :D

Angie, we have similar taste buds. Ever tried grapefruit and salt or lime and salt?

Great dessert especially after having fish. It neutralizes the fish odor.

everytime i go out with friends. to a local bar or to a restaurant. When ordering drinks, I usually ask for a small plate w/ 5 slices of lime and a dab of salt.

And everytime, the waitress winks and raises one eyebrow. My reaction: Nod and smile.
