6 Health Benefits Of Limes! This incredible citrus fruit may seem pretty ordinary, but it’s actually a powerhouse of nutrition. Bursting with both vitamin C and antioxidants, limes, like lemons, possess a powerful set of health benefits.

The health benefits of lime include improved digestion, weight loss, relief from constipation, skin care, and more. Lime is also used in the treatment of scurvy, piles, peptic ulcer, gout, and gums. It also aids in skin care, hair care, and eye care.

6 Health Benefits Of Limes

1. Prevents Cancer

Lime scavenges free radicals and reduces oxidative stress. Antioxidant-packed phytochemicals like flavonoids, flavones, triterpenoid, and limonoids in lime have potent cancer-fighting properties. They can stop the growth of various cancer cells preventing colon, breast, prostate, pancreatic, stomach, lungs, kidneys, and blood cancer. It is also capable of eradicating cancer cells in some cases.

2. Prevents Kidney Stone

The citric acid in fresh or concentrated lime juice helps remove and prevent kidney stones by increasing urinary citrate and urine volume. A study showed that consuming lemonade for nearly four years decrease kidney stone formation from an average of one stone per year down to just 0.13 per year. If you’re experiencing kidney problems, you may visit sites like www.thekidneydocs.com to set an appointment.

3. Mental Health

A little less popular fact is that the vitamin content of lemons promotes optimal mental well-being and enhances its functioning. Lemons also increase the quality of cognitive capability and its activity. It also helps in regulating blood pressure and also the nerve impulses in addition to maintaining several other homeostatic activities. The citric acid in lemons have been proved scientifically to reduce chronic and poorly managed stress, which in the long turn may help reduce and balance blood pressure due to its consistency of bioactive compounds. The bioactive compounds present are terpenoids, phenolic, vitamins and also flavonoids (hesperidin, naringin, polyphenol, hesperidin and ascorbic acid.)

4. Boost Immunity

Limes are an excellent source of vitamin C. In fact, just one lime can knock out nearly one-third of your vitamin C needs for the entire day. Getting enough vitamin C in your diet is important for many aspects of health, but it’s especially crucial when it comes to immunity.
One review published in the Annals of Nutrition & Metabolism found that meeting your vitamin C needs could help reduce the duration and severity of respiratory tract infections and could also help prevent and improve the outcomes for malaria, diarrhea and pneumonia.
Limes also contain plenty of antioxidants. These beneficial compounds promote immunity by neutralizing harmful free radicals, which protects your immune cells and helps ward off infections. A few other natural immune system boosters include elderberry, ginger, ginseng and oregano.

5. Skin Care

Lime juice which contains healthy acids, helps remove dead cells when applied to the skin. It builds collagen, rejuvenates the skin, and improves overall texture. It also protects the skin from infections as well as cures rashes, acne, pimples, bruises, and blemishes. Lime fights skin damage caused due to sun, dust, and pollution. Its antioxidant and astringent properties help reduce wrinkles, as well as cure dark spots, skin tan, and open pores.

6. Manages Diabetes

The high levels of soluble fiber found in lime make it an ideal dietary support to help regulate the body’s absorption of sugar into the bloodstream. This helps reduce the occurrence of blood sugar spikes that are a serious risk to diabetic patients. Also, limes and other citrus fruits have a low glycemic index, which means they will not cause an unexpected spike in glucose levels. This is the reason why the American Diabetes Association considers limes and other citrus fruits a superfood for diabetes.
