lemon, citrus fruit, vitamin C, lemon water, lemon juice, benefits of lemon water

Research proves that lemon is a citrus fruit rich in vitamin C, that enhances your beauty, by rejuvenating skin from within and thus bringing a glow on your face. One of the major health benefits of drinking lemon water is that it paves the way for losing weight faster, thus acting as a great weight loss remedy. Lemon water flushes out body toxins and thus is extremely beneficial for the body.

Here some benefits of lemon water:
  • Lemon water helps clean the toxins out of your body. Your skin can't look healthy if your body is holding onto toxins. When you get rid of toxic waste in your system, your skin will show it first.
  • Lemon can help relieve many digestion problems when mixed with hot water. These include nausea, heartburn, constipation and parasites. It is even known to help relieve hiccups when consumed as a juice. It acts as a liver tonic and helps you digest your food by helping your liver produce more bile. It decreases the amount of phlegm produced by your body. It is also thought to help dissolve gallstones.
  • Lemon is a diuretic. This means that lemon water is especially good for people with urinary tract infections. People with arthritis or rheumatism can benefit from consuming lemons because it helps flush out toxins and bacteria. When lemon is mixed with coffee, it also helps eliminate headaches.
  • Because of its high Vitamin C content, it is used to prevent and treat many infections, hasten wound healing, and diminish allergies. Lemon juice also relieves symptoms of asthma, tonsillitis, and sore throats.
  • When externally applied, lemon juice poured on a cotton ball and gently applied to the nostrils can stop nose bleeds although this may sting a little. When massaged gently into gums, lemon juice can effectively stop bleeding gums.
  • Lemon is also very good at clarifying your hair to remove hair product build up. For those with dark hair, use lemon juice to add golden and red highlights to your hair. For those with blonde hair, use lemon to lighten your blonde color. To do this, simply squeeze the juice from 1/2 lemon (or more) into your hair and sit out in the sun for an hour. Shampoo and condition afterward for hair that looks shinier, reflects more highlights, and feels fresh and clean.

Benefits of water mineral for our body

First you need to understand in what ways does drinking natural mineral water benefits your body. To put it simply, drinking pure mineral water could be the best thing that can happen to your body. More than 70% of the human body is made of water. We need water to function and the water we drink needs to be pure for us to be able to stay away from waterborne diseases. 

Since a lot of people have slowly begun to realize the importance of pure mineral water, a lot of companies have started selling mineral revitalization water purification systems to exploit this awareness among people. These mineral revitalization systems work in a strange way. Let me explain. 

Mineral revitalization water purification systems usually have two units inside them a water purification unit and a mineral revitalization unit. Now, you may have a question if water already has minerals, why do these systems have a mineral revitalization unit?

Mineral revitalization water purification systems, as the name suggests, re mineralize water after it gets purified. The reason is simple. Usually, such systems have a reverse osmosis unit or a distillation unit for purifying purposes. Since these methods destroy the essential minerals present in water, it becomes necessary to re-mineralize it. Thats what the second unit does. The purified water goes into the second unit and comes out re-mineralized. Now, you should have an important doubt. If natural minerals are good for health, then why use a system which destroys them and brings them back? Again, its a very good question. Let me explain. 

The problem with these systems is that they destroy the essential minerals present in water and then re-mineralize the water. Now, what if you had a system which purifies water without destroying these essential minerals? That would be simple, right? This is where you should understand the concept of active carbon block filtration. 

Active carbon blocks are very effective in removing contaminants from water and they retain the essential minerals present in water. As a result, the water is both healthy and pure. This is why they are considered better than reverse osmosis and distillation based water filter units. This is also the reason why doctors around the world suggest multi chambered active carbon filtration units.

Interesting facts about waters

Here some interesting facts about waters.
  • Drinking too much water causes the sodium levels in the bloodstream to dilute causing imbalance of water in your brain. This is called water intoxication.
  • Did you know that the water in your tap is very, very ancient? So ancient that it’s been around since the Earth was formed? Well, the Earth is what is commonly referred to as ‘a closed system’. So the same amount of water has been moving around in what is called the ‘water cycle’. In short, the water you drink has been around since the birth of the Earth.
  • Water can dissolve the most number of substances in it.
  • Water is the only substance on earth that is naturally found in all its three states: solid (ice), liquid (water) and gas (steam or vapor).
  • There are about 70000 known water contaminants.
  • A normal human being must have 2 liters of water each day (which translates to about 75000 liters of water in their entire life). Despite this, nearly 2 million plus people on the planet do not have access to safe drinking water.
  • Did you know the percentage of water in your brains or bones? Well, 75% of your brain and 25% of your bones are made up of water.
  • Now here is a good reason for closing or repairing that dripping faucet – a drip from a leaky faucet is like wasting almost 75 liters of water every single day
  • Did you know that a human being can go without food for a month, but he can go without water for only one week?
  • Once you drink water, it leaves your stomach in about 5 minutes!
  • Wonder why ice floats on water? That is because ice is about 9% lighter than water.
  • Wonder how much water is needed to process the most common of our foods and drinks? Well, for a barrel of beer it is about 5700 liters; for one chicken it is 44 liters; a barrel of crude oil needs 7000 liters of water to refine it; and about 35 liters of water are used to process a can of vegetables or fruits.
