LEMONS – A SIMPLE TO USE SUPER FOOD

For amazing benefits and enhanced flavours, don't just squeeze your lemons, but freeze them! All you need to do is wash them, then freeze them, and they are ready to use in a multitude of ways.

In the same way that many professionals in restaurants and eateries are using or consuming the entire lemon so that nothing is wasted; you can also use the whole lemon every day without wasting any part of it.

Simply place the washed lemon in the freezer section of your refrigerator. Once the lemon is frozen, get your grater, and shred the whole lemon (no peeling required) and sprinkle it on top of your foods.

Grate or sprinkle the frozen shredded lemon directly onto your vegetable salad, ice cream, soups, cereals, noodles, spaghetti sauce, rice, sushi, fish dishes, even whisky… the list is quite endless.

Now that you've learned this lemon secret, you can use lemon even in cups of instant noodles. Not only will it enhance the look of your dishes but all of the foods will give your taste buds a wonderful unexpected treat, a zing you may have never experienced before. In the past you possibly only thought of lemon juice in relation to its vitamin C content—but not anymore! Consider the following and update your knowledge base on this super food.

So…What is the major advantage of using the whole lemon other than not throwing away the skin and adding new taste to your dishes?

First, did you know that the peel of a lemon contains as much as 5 to 10 times more vitamins than the actual lemon juice itself?  And yes, that's what we usually throw away.

But from now on, by following this simple procedure of freezing the whole lemon, then grating it on top of your dishes, you can consume all of those nutrients, do your body’s immune system a good turn, and get even healthier.

Secondly, another benefit is the lemon peel acts as a health rejuvenator in helping to eradicate toxic elements in the body.

So take your washed, frozen lemon from your freezer, and grate it onto your meal every day. It is a key to making your foods tastier and you get to live healthier and longer! And here is another lemon secret for you to digest (excuse the pun). A third benefit of consuming the whole lemon (any Citrus) is the miraculous properties it contains to combat and kill cancer cells. It is claimed to be as much as 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy. But unlike chemotherapy, the lemon is very selective and does not damage any good cells.

Why don’t we know about that? Because the laboratories that do know are more interested in making a synthetic version that will boost their already huge profits. Do not expect the same results from these commercial products as they contain little or none of the goodness to be found in the actual lemon and therefore have very little or no nutritional benefit. This of course raises another question. How many people will die while this closely guarded secret is kept, so as not to jeopardize the large profit focused corporations?

You can now help your friends in need by letting them know that consuming lemons—juice, flesh and peel—are beneficial in preventing the disease. Its taste is pleasant, and because of its selective properties, does not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy, while carrying out a similar function.

As you know, there are numerous varieties of the lemon and lime tree and all are known to have the same beneficial and nutritional properties. The lemon tree is a quiet achiever that has astounding properties to offer. And it can often be found growing in our very own gardens while we tend to turn our back on it, ignoring it and allowing its fruit to rot under our feet, in favour of more exotic offerings. Now is the time to take a fresh, knowing, respectful look at the lemon tree and not only nurture and nourish it as something precious, but harvest and use what it produces on a daily basis for our own healthy outcomes. 

You can eat the fruit in all sorts of different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc... It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting is the effect it produces on cysts and tumours.

This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer. It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure which is too high and is an antidepressant, combating stress and many nervous disorders.

The source of this information is also fascinating, coming from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world. The research shows that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the lemon extracts were found to destroy malignant cells in 12 cancers, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas.

The compounds of the lemon tree showed results 10,000 times better than the product ‘Adriamycin’, a drug normally used world-wide chemotherapeutically for slowing the growth of cancer cells.

What is even more astounding: this type of therapy with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells. At the same time it also empowers and arms healthy cells against disease rather than harming them. So, give those lemons a good wash, freeze them, grate them and look for ways to use them more. Every cell in your whole body will love you for it!!
