Lemons include many vitamins and nutrients that can provide a boost to your body:
Vitamin C: Lemons are a good source of Vitamin C, which promotes immunity, battles infection, heals wounds, and more.
Calcium: Lemons contain calcium, which is important for muscle function, hormone secretion, vascular contraction, and more.
