Thyme For Nutrition

Lemon is a great way to include Vitamin C in your diet. A major antioxidant, it boosts the immunity, helps bones, ligaments, blood vessels and tendons. An easy way to incorporate lemon juice is to add just ½ a tablespoon of fresh juice to your glass of water. When possible choose fresh lemons for your juice rather than bottled juice.

Fresh lemon juice contains almost twice the amount of vitamin C as bottled lemon juice. Fresh lemons also give you the added bonus of the lemon peel. Grated lemon peel can be used on salads, in muffins and breads for added flavor and vitamins and nutrients.
