Lemon is a popular and refreshing fruit that can be found in many recipes. Used widely in drinks and food, it is a rich source of Vitamin C as well as other health benefits that range from being an antioxidant, antiviral to immune boosting.

It can also be used as a tool for reducing weight as it increases one’s metabolic rate. The easiest way to capitalize on this is by drinking it.
