Health Benefits Of Limes You Must Read by 3Ebisco: 1:35pm On Jul 07, 2020
Limes contain many antioxidant nutrients, including vitamin C, flavonoids, flavones, triterpenoid, and limonoids.

Limonoids are phytonutrients that research has shown to have significant benefits for overall health and wellbeing.

Although limonoids are as abundant in citrus fruits as vitamin C, unlike vitamin C, limonoids are not currently available as a supplement.

Limonoid-containing “citrus molasses” can be used to fortify foods, but it’s currently only used in food for animals.

So, for now, fresh citrus fruits are the best way to get your daily dose of limonoids.
Lime Nutrition for Heart Health

The antioxidants in lime are good for your heart too.

Antioxidants help promote the health of arteries and the circulatory system.

Since arteries are responsible for carrying blood to and from your heart and other organs, keeping them healthy plays an important role in heart health.

Limes are also a source of magnesium and potassium, two nutrients that support heart health.

Potassium supports blood health and circulation and magnesium is essential to keep muscles working properly, plus limonoids in limes may promote healthy blood lipid levels.
Skin Benefits of Lime

The nutrients and antioxidants in limes help rejuvenate skin and strengthen collagen.

Vitamin C nourishes skin cells inside and out and may even help fight signs of skin aging.

Hydration is also important to keeping skin healthy, and adding lime to your water is a tasty way to hydrate and revitalize healthy skin.

Some people also use the essential oil of Kaffir lime in skin tonics to help smooth skin quality, but be cautious when using essential oils on your skin and never apply lime directly to the skin.

Read the product label and choose an essential oil product that is formulated for use on the skin.

Lime products applied topically may make your skin more sensitive to the sun.
Lime for Digestive Support

The acidity in lime may help break down food so you can digest it more easily, plus the flavonoids in limes stimulate digestive juices, and may even stimulate bowel activity.

Drinking some water with lime on an empty stomach in the morning may help kick start your digestive system too.

Also, try drinking a glass of warm water with the juice of a whole lime about thirty minutes before a meal to aid digestion.

You may be less likely to overeat if you drink warm lime water before a meal.
Immune System Booster

The vitamin C and antioxidants provided by limes may help give your immune system a healthy boost.

Vitamin C is needed by the all the tissues of your body for growth and repair and it’s involved in many important functions, including immune function and helping protect cells from free radicals.


Limes and Weight Loss

The citric acid in limes may help kick up your metabolism so you burn more calories, and if you get your lime nutrition by drinking lime water, that’s even better.

Staying hydrated is an excellent way to help you maintain a healthy weight.

It’s easy to mistake thirst for hunger, so if you’re hydrated, you may be less likely to eat without actually being hungry.


Lime for Kidney Health

Adding limes or lemons to your diet may help promote kidney health, since citric acid may boost urinary citrate and urine volume.

And of course, water is great for your kidneys too.

So add some lime to your next glass of water to help give your kidneys, and your whole body, a welcome health boost.


Lime and Nutrient

Absorption Vitamin C plays a beneficial role in the absorption of iron, which is essential for your body’s production of blood and for hemoglobin.

Low levels of iron can cause a host of health concerns.

Since vitamin C can increase the amount of iron you absorb from the foods you eat when eaten together.

Lime is an excellent addition to recipes that contain iron-rich ingredients like spinach and red meats.
Lime for Healthy Joints

Vitamin C and other antioxidants in limes may also help support the health of your joints.

Promote joint flexibility, and limes may help reduce uric acid levels in the body.

As good as limes are, they can be very dangerous when over-consumed and abused. They can chop the linnings of the stomach wall thereby resulting in ulcer.

Moderation is very key.
