let’s talk about the mind-blowing benefits of a lemon I think most people know that lemons are high in vitamin C so if you buy uh lemon juice that’s bottled it’s pasteurized so you’re not going to get a lot of vitamin C I’m talking about fresh squeeze lemon juice okay so you have vitamin C you also have citrate which can help lower the risk of getting kidney stones lemons are good for the skin good for digestion but today I’m going to talk about this other group of nutrients and lemons called flavonoids okay there are over 6,000 different flavonoids and no we’re not going to cover each one of them today but we are going to cover one flavonoid okay just one so the one I want to cover is called Os citrin Os citrin is a flavonoid in lemons and lemons have the most OS citrates and these are the facts removing fat from your liver helping you balance out your lipids like cholesterol in your liver reversal of diabetes on a double blinded randomized study OC citrin has similar effects to the main antioxidant in green tea so it’s a very very powerful antioxidant Aeros citrin also has a lot to do with protecting the Integrity of your capillaries so how is that going to relate to what problems you might have well bleeding gums if your gum tissue is like red or swollen wow you need lemons it’s not just the vitamin C it’s these flavonoids and that can also give you a lot of benefits in your circulation the peripheral circulation the circulation that happens in the extremities like on the bottom of your feet or ankles or your hands are discolored or you have um circulation problems or maybe you have um spider veins OC citrin can greatly help that some of these other phytonutrients have huge profound effect um against hypoglycemia high blood glucose which is diabetes so let’s say you are a diabetic or you have sugar or let’s say you just ate a bunch of sugar and you had a lemon the phytonutrient the flavonoids in that lemon are going to counteract all this oxidative stress going on they’re going to also improve your HDL they’re going to decrease your LDL and your triglycerides there’s also some really great data which I’m going to put all this down below of decreasing your risk to Chronic Venus insufficiency that’s a problem with your Venus system or the veins these compounds are very potent anti-inflammatories for things like rheumatoid arthritis or any type of arthritis these compounds decrease something called glycation glycation is The Binding of sugar to protein or sugar to a fat making that protein unusable in your body clogging things up and so the flavonoids directly inhibit that formation and because flavonoids decrease inflammation you also get a decrease of fibrosis as well as clotting flavonoids also have a pretty uh potent effect against insulin resistance which the majority of the population has and probably doesn’t know it which includes things like metabolic syndrome where you have like blood pressure issues ETC these flavonoids also have a profound effect against something called diabetic cardiomyopathy which is a problem not just with the vascular system in the heart but the actual heart muscle itself so these flavonoids uh Target supporting the endothelial layer the inside layer of that artery where you have a lot of damage that can occur and then you have plaque that forms from there but also the heart muscle itself there’s also a whole bunch of data on what it can do to your brain uh it’s very neuroprotective the essential oil in the lemon which is little bit different than these other compounds are antimicrobial so what does this mean it means you should be consuming more lemons and I would recommend taking the whole lemon peel in all with a maybe a 12 oz glass of water maybe do like a couple drops of stevia or you can do electrolyte powder that’s already sweetened with stevia blend it up and drink that in the morning especially if you have blood sugar problems you’re diabetic or you’re pre-diabetic or you have insulin resistance now of course I always like to add a little apple cider vinegar with it just to give it a nice little kick but I just wanted to give you some extra data on lemons which are uh way more beneficial than I actually thought as you may know it’s becoming more and more difficult to find my content so if you want Dr Berg un filtered go to rumble I put a link down below and I will see you on the other side
