Lemon is also a natural antioxidant rich in vitamin C. It neutralizes free radicals and prevents them from damaging the body. The limonene component present in lemon stimulates lymph flow and the elimination of carcinogens. It also helps prevent cholesterol buildup.
Reduction of inflammation
Inflammation of the joints can lead to the accumulation of uric acids in the blood, urine, body tissues, and cause pain. The alkalizing effect of baking soda may help relieve this condition when consumed.
Relief of urinary tract infection
Baking soda taken with cranberry juice or lemon juice mixed with water helps treat urinary tract infections. It does this by reducing or neutralizing the acid content in urine.
Improved digestion
Lemon juice releases toxins from the digestive tract, while baking soda helps break down fatty acids, thus improving digestion. This neutralizes acidic gastric juices in the stomach and prevents indigestion and heartburn.
