On their own, lemons and garlic are incredible health promoting foods that can promote the health of our bodies many different ways. In fact, some even consider both lemons and garlic to be superfoods in their own right. When mixed together, the mixture becomes a nutritional and antioxidant powerhouse that can prevent disease and infections and treat unwanted body ailments. We will discuss how to easily create this mixture at the end of the video. Now, lets discuss some of the incredible health benefits of consuming lemon mixed with garlic.
1. First, consuming lemon and garlic will provide our bodies with many different vitamins, minerals and other important nutrients. Lemons are packed with nutrition, including vitamin C, niacin, vitamin B6, riboflavin, calcium, potassium and copper to name a few. They also contain disease fighting flavonoid antioxidants. Garlic is also well known for being very nutritious. It contains high levels of manganese, vitamin C, selenium, vitamin B6 and vitamin B1. It also contains a unique and potent compound known as allicin.
2. Regularly consuming this mixture can also help to fight common cold and flu symptoms while boosting our immune system. Lemons are very high in vitamin C, which specifically helps to boost our immune system. They can also help to treat cold, flu and fever symptoms. As well, lemons can help to treat and soothe respiratory disorders and infections, again due to their high levels of vitamin C. Garlic is also great for treating common cold and flu symptoms and is a great natural immune system booster. Studies have found that garlic can help to both prevent and reduce cold and flu symptoms.
3. This mixture is also incredibly heart healthy. Both lemons and garlic can help to promote the overall health of our heart many different ways. Lemons can help to control blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease. Lemon contains heart healthy minerals such as potassium, which is specifically helpful in controlling blood pressure. As well, lemons are great sources of antioxidants, which can reduce inflammation and free radicals in the body that can cause damage to the cardiovascular system and increase the risk of heart disease. Garlic is also great for heart health. The unique and active compounds in garlic can help to reduce blood pressure, reduce total and LDL cholesterol levels and lower the risk of heart disease.
4. Lemons and garlic can also help to boost cognitive function and help with the prevention of certain types of cognitive disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. This is attributed to the high amounts of free radical fighting antioxidants both of these foods contain. This allows lemons and garlic to prevent oxidative damage, which can negatively effect our cognitive function as we get older. Garlic specifically contains antioxidants that will support the body’s protective functions and mechanisms against unwanted oxidative stress and damage. Always discuss with your medical practitioner for further treatment and prevention methods in this regard.
5. Lastly, this mixture of lemons and garlic can help to boost energy naturally and even have benefits for those individuals who are following a workout routine or wanting to increase athletic performance. Lemons and lemon water is well known for naturally boosting energy levels as well as reducing stress levels, which can decrease our energy levels. This is largely attributed to the many different nutrients lemons contains. Garlic can also increase energy and boost athletic performance. Studies have found that individuals consuming garlic reduced their peak heart rate while improving their exercise capacity.
To create this mixture, you will need a half cup of garlic, 2 large lemons and 16 ounces of water. First, chop the lemons and garlic finely once washed. Add them to boiling water and boil for about 15 minutes on lower heart. Once this time has passed, remove from heat and let the mixture cool. Then store the liquid in a glass jar. Consume about 50ml each morning on an empty stomach before breakfast for a week for best results.
