The 7 Benefits of Lemon: 1. Gives your immune system a boost. Vitamin C is like our immune system’s battery, and lemon juice is full of it. And If I haven’t said so before, I will again. Vitamin C is hugely important. The level of it in your system is one of the first things to plummet when you’re stressed, which is why I recommend popping extra vitamin C during especially stressful days. 2. Excellent source of potassium. As already mentioned, lemons are high in potassium, which is good for heart health, as well as brain and nerve function. 3. Aids in digestion. Lemon juice not only encourages healthy digestion it helps to relieve symptoms of indigestion like heartburn. 4. Cleanses your system. It helps flush out the toxins in your body by enhancing enzyme function, stimulating your liver. 5. Freshens your breath. That’s right. A little lemon goes a long way so remember that the next time you have your presentation or need to be up at the podium. 6. Keeps your skin blemish-free. The antioxidants in lemon juice help to not only decrease blemishes, but wrinkles too! Because it helps detoxify your blood, it will maintain your skin’s radiance. 7. Helps you lose weight. Lemons contain pectin fiber, which assists in fighting hunger cravings. Lemon water is a great to way to curb your appetite. The 7 Benefits of Cucumber: 1. Keeps you hydrated. If you are too busy to drink enough water, munch on the cool cucumber, which is 96 percent water. It will cheerfully compensate! And obviously they taste better than eating a lemon. 2. Fights heartburn. Cucumbers can actually do wonders to sooth heartburn and that nasty unexpected indigestion. 3. Keep the heat down. If you got a little too much sun you can apply cucumber on your skin, and you get relief from that itchy sunburn. Speaking of sunburn, please stay out of those tanning salons! UV light is terrible for your skin and not worth the long-term effects studies show they can have causing harm to your skin… I digress, I’m sorry. But I’m always looking out for you! 4. Flushes out toxins. All that water in cucumber acts as a virtual broom, sweeping waste products out of your system. With regular use, cucumber is known to dissolve any unwanted bad things in our kidneys. 5. Lavishes you with vitamins. Cucumber will definitely boost your immunity, and help give you energy, and keep you radiant. Not to mention its skin-friendly minerals. That’s why cucumber-based treatments abound in SPAS! 6. Revives the eyes. Placing chilled slices of cucumber on the eyes is a clichéd beauty visual, but it really helps reduce under-eye bags and puffiness. 7. Fights against Cancer. Believe it or not, cucumbers have cancer-fighting potential which is plenty of reason to eat or drink it whenever we have the chance.
