Lemons.

[Emerald14]

Read an article on the benefits of lemons. Was wondering if anyone has tried having lemon juice and water first thing in a morning, also squeezing it on food to lower the glycemic level. ( so it claims ) and lowers your blood sugar.

interesting, i bought some mint green tea and was telling them in the shop how i'm finding it, she told me a man is making it letting it cool and putting lemon juice in with it, he had lost a stone, i must try it, thanks for sharing

What a good tip, thanks Jill. Have got some green tea in the cupboard. I fact I'm going to go and try it with lemon right now before my breakfast.

Lemons surprisingly are alkali. Hot lemon of a morning is tasty. And squeeze some over your salad with olive oil. I also stuff a chicken with lemon.

..I remember being told this years ago and yes it did work for me but I'd forgotten about it, probably ran out of lemons and forgot to buy some more .....similarly, apple cider vinegar but its not very palatable even in water...

No but vinegar is palatable when you add it to a dressing for salad.
