Lemons, nutritional and beneficial for optimal health

As tart as lemon juice may be to the taste, it's health benefits are indefinitely sweet to the human body.  With a nutrient rich profile that's stacked with vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, flavonoids and phytochemicals, lemons are ultrahydrating foods that immunize, alkalize and purify (and even sterilize) the body, all of its cells and its support systems.  And, when it comes to consumption, it really doesn't get much faster or any easier than just slicing and squeezing the healing juices out of lemons for drinking as a beverage; topping as a dressing; marinating as a seasoning; calming as a sleeping aid (when combined with warm water and honey); cleansing as a disinfectant; and/or what-have-you.  Lemons are a heaven-sent food and their fruitful powers are rather limitless.
