Why Lemon?
Everyone knows lemons are full of vitamin C, but they also contain B-complex vitamins, which help with protein metabolism, support red blood cell formation, and keep your nervous system healthy. Lemons also help digestion and have strong antibacterial effects. On top of that, they help balance your pH, which is great for your immune system.
