Lemonade is one of my favorite beverages. I particularly like the fact that I can control the levels of tartness and sweetness to my liking.

Lemons are a versatile fruit that can easily incorporate into our diets through water, cooking, or direct consumption, offering a wide variety of health-promoting properties.

Lemons provide numerous metabolic advantages:

• They aid in weight management through fiber, which promotes feelings of fullness
• They Help prevent anemia by improving iron absorption from plant-based foods

The vitamin C in lemons supports:

Additional health benefits include:
