Lemon

Just ¼ c. of lemon juice provides over 50% of the daily value for vitamin C. While its properties boost your the immune system .
Lemons are high in vitamin C (116 mg) and potassium (44.5 mg) , and also contain limonene,
a compound shown to have anticancer properties. Limonene also can raise the levels of beneficial enzymes in the liver. Vitamin C also can lower histamines in the body,

Histamines  are naturally occurring chemicals that can cause red, itchy eyes and runny noses.
Also lemons can be used as a home remedy for blemishes

 How to:
apply a little lemon juice mixed with water several times a day. This can help healing plus remove the red.

When added to hot water and taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, lemon's
citric acid acts as a tonic for the liver as it stimulates the production of enzymes and
increases bile production, both of which ultimately aid digestion. Some studies show that
lemon may relieve constipation and even heartburn, UT infections and others
disease-causing bacteria found in the intestinal tract. The citric acid in
lemon has been used,  for its blood-cleansing properties and is even used in some
societies as an antiseptic and antidote to poison.

The lemon diet takes advantage of the bodys natural cleansing process (at its best in the morning), helping your body to flush out unnatural toxins we pick up in the modern lifestyle.

The lemon detox plan also enables your body to lose weight more effectively, and this fact alone has made the lemon diet plan a big name

How to:
LEMON DRINK for your Master Cleanse
you need:
* 2 tablespoons FRESH squeezed lemon 
* 2 tablespoons genuine organic maple syrup, Grade B (the darker the better)*
* 1/10 teaspoon (a small pinch!) cayenne pepper, gradually increase (the more 
   BTUs the better)
* 300 - 500 ccm (10-14 oz) pure water 

In a 300ccm (10-ounce) glass (to allow for 227ccm and mixing room): 2 tablespoons fresh (and organic, if possible) lemon (absolutely no canned or frozen juice). 2 tablespoons real (and organic, if possible) grade B or C maple syrup. (Don't use Grade A maple syrup or maple-flavored syrup. They are over-refined, which means that they are mostly refined sugars and lack essential minerals.) A small pinch of cayenne pepper (to taste). Spring or purified water, between room temperature and medium hot (but not cold) – fill to 1/4 liter (8 oz). Mix all the ingredients by thoroughly stirring or shaking, and drink. Or, in two 1 liter bottles: Juice of 3 lemons, divided equally between the two bottles (about 85ccm or 3 oz per bottle) An equal quantity of grade B or C maple syrup in each bottle (about 85 cc or 3 oz per bottle) A pinch of cayenne in each bottle Spring or purified water (fill bottles to the top) Mix all the ingredients by thoroughly shaking; then drink throughout the day. Use fresh lemons or limes only, never canned or frozen lemon juice. Use organic and vine ripened when possible. Also, mix your lemonade fresh just before drinking. Don't mix it up in the morning for the whole day. You can, however, squeeze your lemons in the morning and measure out the 2 tablespoons when needed.
