How can lemon benefits your health?

According to Ware, M, & Warwick, K.W (2023)MedicalNewsToday, Lemons are a nutritious fruit that
can offer a variety of health benefits. They are high in vitamin C, and eating them may lower your risk of
heart disease and cancer. Lemons are a popular fruit that is used in little amounts to flavor baked goods,
sauces, salad dressings, marinades, beverages, and desserts. However, because of their strong, sour
flavor, they are rarely consumed alone. Lemons are an excellent source of vitamin C. A single 58-gram
(g) lemon contains more than 30 milligrams (mg) of vitamin C. Vitamin C is necessary for good health,
and a shortage can cause issues. The early explorers realized this and took lemons on their long trips to
help prevent or treat scurvy, which was life-threatening condition was widespread among seafarers. This
article examines the nutritional value of lemons, as well as its potential health advantages, culinary
applications, and health hazards. Benefits: Lemons can be both healthy and refreshing. Lemons have
high levels of vitamin C and flavonoids, which are antioxidants. Antioxidants aid in the elimination of
free radicals, which can cause cell damage. These nutrients can help prevent diseases and improve
