Strange Fruit…But It’s Still Good For You

So I went out to my lime tree this morning and found this…

And somebody had a dirty mind and did this…

And then The Hubster did this…

In any case, no matter what they look like on the outside, the same skin-loving goodness is the same on the inside. I start my morning with a glass of lime or lemon water because it’s packed with Vitamin C.

What Does Vitamin C Do for the Skin?

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that slows the rate of free-radical damage — free radicals are unstable molecules that damage collagen and cause skin dryness, fine lines and wrinkles. New research shows that ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, a derivative of vitamin C, not only neutralizes free radicals, but also reverses DNA damage [source: University of Leicester]. SOURCE

Lemon and Lime Juice Can Help with Weight Loss

Limes have a very high citric acid content, and citric acid is a very strong fat burner (Think grapefruit, only limes taste better and have 2 times the citric acid content!). Taking the steps to use lime for weight loss is as simple as adding it to your daily water intake. (I personally take bottles of water to work every day, and inside my desk drawer is a bottle of unsweetened Key-lime juice.) Adding lime juice to just two or three glasses of water throughout your day, can help boost your weight loss if you are on a diet. Lime juice in cold water is a great and refreshing drink, which not only promotes weight loss but cools you down significantly more so than a regular bottle of water would! While being a fat burner, lime juice is also an excellent anti-oxidant. This helps your quest of losing weight by removing the toxins in your body and keeping you squeaky clean and ultimately feeling better over all. SOURCE
