The food and beverages we eat provide electrically charged molecules that initiate energy production in our body.
An ion is part of a molecule that carries an electrical charge. Positively charged ions are called “cations,” while negatively charged ions are called “anions.”
Most of the food we put into our bodies comes in a cationic form, while our natural digestive processes (hydrochloric acid, digestive enzymes, saliva) are anionic. Lemon is one of the only anionic foods on the planet.
This means that it carries a very strong negative charge and is extremely electrically active.
Fresh lemon helps oxygenate the body and maximizes enzyme function. Lemon is known to stimulate the liver’s natural enzymes.
This assists the liver in the process of dumping toxins like uric acid and of liquefying congested bile ducts.
Citric Acid Cleanses the System
Citric acid can also play a very important role in chelating out abnormal calcium stones.
It has a unique ability to form soluble complexes with calcium that many have used to eliminate pancreatic stones and kidney stones.
This mechanism can also help prevent calcium deposits from building up in the arteries that promote cardiovascular disease.
Clean lemon water provides the body with hydration, antioxidants and electrolytes.
Lemon is a rich source of the immune boosting vitamin C. It also has good quantities of electrolytes such as potassium, calcium and magnesium.
Lemon is a tremendous source of citrus bioflavonoid antioxidant phytonutrients that have been given the label Vitamin P.
Vitamin P Improves Cellular Oxygenation:
Vitamin P consists of the flavonoid glycosides hesperetin and naringenin among others.
Studies have shown that vitamin P enhances the antioxidant capability of vitamin C. These bioflavonoids also improve capillary permeability and overall blood flow.
This is especially important for oxygenating tissues and maintaining normal blood pressure.
These antioxidants have also been shown to reduce swelling, venous backup and edema.
