We are all familiar with the benefits of using a lemon as it is rich with vitamin C and helps us fight viruses and cold. However, a lemon has other uses too and after reading some of these suggestions you will probably rush to buy a kilo or two.
1. Keep insects and roaches away from your house
If you want to get rid of roaches or keep away fleas from your house and your pet mix the juice of 4 lemons (along with the rinds) with 2 liters of water and wash your floors with it. Fleas and roaches will flee because they hate the smell of the lemon and your house will be clean and your pet grateful.
2. Prevents Kidney Stones
Regular consumption of lemonade or lemon juice mixed with water can increase the production of urinary citrate, a chemical in the urine that prevents the formation of crystals that may build up into kidney stones.
3. Mental Health
Lemon can relieve stress and depression. Just squeeze one or two lemons and make yourself a lemonade with a spoon of honey instead of sugar or you can squeeze some lemon into the glass of water and drink it every day. The results will be felt immediately.
4. Wash your Fruit and Vegetables
When you buy fruit and vegetables on the market you never know if they have been treated with pesticides or not. So use lemon juice to make sure you clean them of all the dirt and pesticides they may have. Pour some water into the bowl and squeeze out one tablespoon of lemon juice, mix it with water and leave your fruit or vegetables into the water for 10 min. Wash them thoroughly and they are ready to be eaten.
