Support Heart Health

Lemons are an excellent source of vitamin C. One lemon has around 31 mg of vitamin C, which is 51% of the RDA (RDI). According to research, consuming vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables lowers your risk of heart disease and stroke. However, it is not just vitamin C that is regarded to be beneficial to your heart. Lemon fiber and plant components may also considerably reduce several risk factors for heart disease.

One research, for example, discovered that consuming 24 grams of citrus fiber extract daily for a month lowered overall blood cholesterol levels. Lemon plant components, especially hesperidin and diosmin, have also been shown to decrease cholesterol. Lemons are abundant in heart-healthy vitamin C as well as many plant chemicals that may help decrease cholesterol.
