  Help Your Body With Detox Benefits From Lemons

  Lemon juice contains valuable vitamins and minerals to help detox your body and help it become resistant to some diseases. The vitamin C helps rejuvenate your skin by generating collagen in the tissue. The citric acid helps reduce the risk of heart disease, stomach and oral cancer, and speeds up your metabolism. This type of detox may not be right for everyone so do not begin before consulting with your doctor.

  Begin the Lemon Detoxification Slowly

  Citric juices may have an adverse affect so start the detox by drinking a low dose of lemon tea throughout the day. Drink nothing except real lemon juice dissolved in water. Every three days, for up to two weeks, slightly increase the juice concentration. This detox regime does not include any solid foods. Again, consult your doctor before you begin detoxification.
