vitamin c being ascorbic acid i’m talking about the whole vitamin c complex and this is why i encourage people to get the majority of their vitamins from food because you get the complete complex like the vitamin c complex like citrus fruits are the best for that but you can also get these phytonutrient benefits from not just consuming the fruit but the leaves the roots and the flowers of the lemon and the lime tree now lemon and limes have pretty much the same nutrients there they have b1 b2 b3 b5 b6 b9 which is folate they have calcium iron magnesium
potassium and zinc but i wouldn’t depend on getting your vitamins and minerals from lemons and limes the thing that you want to get from lemons and limes is the flavonoids okay why because they have some very cool properties anti-cancer anti-bacterial anti-viral anti-fungal anti-diabetic now i’ve done so many articles with different plants and vegetables and herbs and it seems like they all have these same common benefits why because it’s part of the survival mechanism that was created from that plant but the cool thing about that is you can eat those plants
to get those amazing benefits that have been created over a very long period of time but the citrus flavonoids also have the capacity of decreasing central nervous system disorders decreasing formation of kidney stones especially the oxalates calcium oxalate stones they can inhibit the formation of the stones as well as calcium phosphate stones as well now the vitamin c in citrus can completely annihilate and get rid of scurvy what’s scurvy that’s a very severe vitamin c deficiency where you have frequent infections frequent colds cracked lips
crack corners of your mouth that’s what i had growing up i didn’t know what it was now i’ve done other articles talking about the vitamin complex specifically b2 and b3 deficiencies creating cracked lips right here but it can also be vitamin c in fact when i was a kid i think the reason why i had those cracks in the corners of my mouth because i was consuming so much sugar and when you consume sugar you can’t at the same time absorb vitamin c so it was a vitamin c deficiency that created that problem and also smoking so if you’re a smoker
you’re going to block vitamin c absorption that’s really coming from a vitamin c deficiency because as you smoke you’re blocking any ability to absorb that vitamin c one of the symptoms of scurvy is ulcers in your mouth on the ends of the mouth and on the tongue now the other real big symptom of scurvy is spongy bleeding gums so you brush your teeth and you look at your toothbrush and it’s like red what is that that’s a vitamin c deficiency but it could be you’re just consuming
too much sugar or you’re smoking you know and that could be blocking vitamin c or you’re just not consuming vitamin c from the complete complex maybe you’re getting it from some vitamin but it’s all synthetic and it’s it’s not the same thing because vitamin c is involved in collagen and supporting your capillary strength so if you don’t have that vitamin c complex the capillaries are fragile and they break easily and here you are you go to the dentist and they give you all this
medication because now you have gingivitis and you go down this whole series of things but in reality it comes down to your your diet now citrus flavonoids can decrease the risk of getting gout okay inhibiting the uric acid formation it can also help to act as a diuretic to get rid of excess fluid and increase bile and peristalsis so in certain countries they use a lot of lemon for digestive issues after you eat i just recommend using lemon in your diet for many reasons not just helping your digestion but some of these other things as well and lemon
is very very um sour and it can help your liver it can help the production of bile which by the way um counters constipation because when you’re deficient bile you become constipated so bile is helps lubricate the colon basically and the phytonutrients and citrus help peristalsis so basically just helps your digestion from a couple different angles all right there you have it the health benefits of citrus hey before you go if you’re benefiting from any of my content i would love to hear about your success story please share it in the link down below
