Many people are puzzled with the best eating way of lemons. If we eat them directly, the taste is not so good. In fact, the best way of eating is to cut lemons into pieces and use these pieces to make tea. Lemonade can not only provide all the nutrients contained in lemons for us, but also help people who want to be slim lose weight. These magic functions of lemons are rather special among all the fruits. 

According to the scientific studies, lemon is a kind of fruit with rather high value for nutrition and drug. With sugar as its main nutrient component, lemon also contains abundant other nutrients, such as calcium, phosphorus, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin C and nicotinic acid. The reason for the bitter taste of lemon is that the content of organic acid contained in lemons is 6.4% higher than that contained in any other fruit like oranges or apples. In addition, lemons contain many other abundant nutrients like flavonoid and naphtha. According to the traditional Chinese medicine, lemons play an important role in promoting the secretion, stopping the thirst, dissolving the phlegm and stopping the cough. If someone feels sick or does not want to have dinner, he can drink lemonade to alleviate the illness. However, it is not suitable for people who have too much gastric acid to drink lemonade.

To many women, lemonade is a kind of tool to help them lose weight. Lemonade is rather effective in digesting the food. Therefore, it is suitable for people to drink some lemonade after dinner. In addition, lemonade plays an important role in preventing and reducing the diabetes and its complications. This is because lemons contain a kind of special substance called “neoeriocitrin” which can greatly reduce the amount of adipose acidification in the liver, kidney and blood of the patients with diabetes. Lemons can also prevent cardiovascular disease. The patients with hypertension and myocardial infarction can often drink lemonade to improve the symptoms of the disease.

In fact, the eating ways of lemons are really diverse. Just as what has been mentioned above, we can cut lemons into small pieces and put pieces into the plain boiled water. In addition, we can also put several pieces of lemon into the black tea and make the tea more fragrant. Other drinks like aerated water can also be added with pieces of lemons. Lemon cheese is also a good choice.
