Efficacy

1. Lemon is a blood pressure-lowering fruit:

Prevent cardiovascular disease. Lemon is rich in vitamin C and vitamin P, which can enhance the elasticity and toughness of blood vessels and can prevent and treat symptoms of hypertension and myocardial infarction.

2. Lemon is a phlegm-reducing fruit:

Eat lemon frequently to clear away heat and resolve phlegm. Lemon can also dispel phlegm. Lemon peel is more effective than citrus in dispelling phlegm. The weather in summer is hot and humid. If you don't pay attention to your diet, the internal dampness of the human body and the external dampness of the natural climate will react with each other. The accumulation of dampness and turbidity will lead to phlegm over time. Therefore, when there is a lot of phlegm in summer and the throat is uncomfortable, adding lemon juice to warm water and a small amount of salt can help cough up the thick phlegm accumulated in the throat smoothly.
