10 Amazing Lemon Health Benefits

Ease symptoms of the common cold
While lemon isn’t top banana, so to speak, it still has plenty of vitamin C content, which may play a role in dealing with the common cold. There have been a lot of myth-versus-fact stories written about vitamin C and its effect on the cold, but the National Institutes of Health lays it out like this:

• For most people, vitamin C supplements or vitamin C-rich foods do not reduce the risk of getting the common cold.
• Taking a vitamin C supplement or [vitamin C-rich foods] after a cold starts does not appear to be helpful.
• However, people who take vitamin C supplements [or vitamin C-rich foods] regularly might have slightly shorter colds or somewhat milder symptoms.
