Lemons are high in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant

Vitamin C is needed to produce collagen, it may help relieve asthma symptoms, and it may protect against cancer. Lemon juice can be used in teas, desserts, and on salads. Here are some other benefits to consuming lemons or lemon-infused drinks

1) Lowering stroke risk

According to the American Heart Association (AHA), citrus fruits may help lower the risk of ischemic stroke in women.

A study of data from nearly 70,000 women over 14 years showed that those who ate the most citrus fruits had a 19 percent lower risk of ischemic stroke than women who consumed the least.

"Studies have shown higher fruit, vegetable, and specifically vitamin C intake is associated with reduced stroke risk. [...] Flavonoids [present in certain fruits and vegetable] are thought to provide some of that protection through several mechanisms, including improved blood vessel function and an anti-inflammatory effect."

Aedín Cassidy, Ph.D., Lead author of the study

Citrus fruits are a good source of flavonoids, which are thought to help protect against cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Ischemic stroke is the most common type of stroke. It is caused by a blood clot blocking the flow of blood to the brain.

2) Maintaining a healthy blood pressure

One Japanese study found that out of 101 women, those who walked regularly and consumed lemon every day had lower blood pressure than those who did not. The scientists called for more research to confirm this.
