so here you are you take a lemon cut it

in half squeeze it in your water

disregard the peel from the garbage and

then you drink your lemon water thinking

you’re getting

all these amazing nutrients but did you

realize that the peel the white part

which is called the pith and the seeds

have five times

more nutrition

than the juice in the pulp when you hear

what i’m going to talk about the

benefits of using the whole lemon

you will never waste the peel again so

let me explain

typically lemons are loaded with vitamin

c unless it’s pasteurized and you’re

consuming

like lemon juice from some bottle

so if it’s pasteurized it’s heated

there’s hardly any vitamin c unless they

add it in there

but there is potassium magnesium b6

b1

b2 there’s copper there’s vitamin e

and if you use actual fresh lemon you’ll

get vitamin c which i’m going to cover

i’ve done quite a few videos on the

benefits of lemon water specifically

reducing fat on your liver

reducing cholesterol

helping you lose weight because you’re

making insulin more sensitive and you’re

addressing insulin resistance the

benefits of anti-aging the benefits of

lemon for anti-cancer there are very

specific compounds in lemons that

can help kill cancer cells and the

benefits of lemons for kidney stone

prevention especially if you’re on the

ketogenic diet and you’re prone to

kidney stones and then the benefit of

vitamin c for your immune system and

also how lemon can inhibit

collagen destruction but if you actually

consume

the white part of the lemon and the

outer peel

and the seeds you’re going to get some

additional very cool benefits that i

want to educate you on now the first

thing i want to cover is vitamin c

vitamin c deficiency is related to

something called scurvy okay where you

lose your collagen your joints you have

a lot of fatigue and you might say that

scurvy doesn’t exist now but i think

there’s subclinical versions of scurvy

that people have and they don’t even

really know that they had it but in the

30s

scientists have

found that using straight ascorbic acid

which is considered vitamin c which it’s

really not

it’s just one part of the vitamin c

complex

they found that using ascorbic acid does

not work as well as using the whole

vitamin c complex

from lemons paprika or oranges in other

words they found some other additional

things in the whole fruit like lemons

that are not in ascorbic acid and so

back in the 30s

they identified vitamin p okay now they

don’t call it vitamin p anymore because

typically vitamins fulfill a certain

criteria and vitamin p does not fulfill

that criteria

but vitamin p stands for permeability as

in vascular permeability or

capillary permeability or microvascular

permeability

now permeability is basically the

ability

of your vascular system

to

allow things to move in and out between

the vascular system and so there are

various gaps that occur and when you

have too much of a gap you have symptoms

like bleeding gums

like gingivitis you might get

spider veins varicose veins

hemorrhoids which involve the veins

you might get bruising you might get a

bleeding nose or edema so they found

this p factor okay vitamin p

helps to tighten up those junctions

those gaps

and prevents all these symptoms so the p

factor is really part of the vitamin c

complex that’s in nature so typically in

nature you don’t just have ascorbic acid

you have ascorbic acid which is a the

antioxidant portion

you have also the p factor which is

really the bioflavonoids and there’s

about eight thousand different

bioflavonoids in certain plant compounds

and what i’m going to talk about is the

citrus

bioflavonoids these bioflavonoids are

part of the vitamin c complex the other

parts of the vitamin c complex would be

the j factor or vitamin j

another thing that i’m not going to get

into now but vitamin j helps

increase the oxygenation in your lungs

they help it helps you breathe better

and then you also have

copper in the vitamin c complex in an

enzyme form called tyrosinase

and that copper is really important in

collagen formation this is why vitamin c

is so good for collagen

joint health etc and then you also have

vitamin k1 which is part of the vitamin

c complex as well which also helps to

prevent bleeding and things like that

because vitamin k1 is involved with

clotting so when you’re consuming

the white part in the outside part

of the lemon or limes you are getting a

tremendous amount of this extra

vitamin p or let’s just call it the

bioflavonoids

which can really help you in many

different ways including some additional

things for the eye i mean think about

what happens in with diabetes you have a

lot of damage

in the capillaries you have damage in

the nervous system because the

capillaries are no longer feeding the

nerves so you get peripheral neuropathy

you have a lot of problems of the eye

as in diabetic retinopathy in diabetes

you have macular degeneration you get

cataracts you get glaucoma dry eyes and

so you have a lot of leaking of blood

through the capillaries in the eye

caused by the destruction of the high

glucose but if you’re a diabetic

and you actually take these

bioflavonoids from lemons you can

greatly reduce the complications that

occur from diabetes and this incredible

oxidation that is just destroying your

capillary system now here’s what i’m

going to recommend that you do and you

just need to try this once to see

and once you try this you’re going to

like it you’re going to feel good and

you’re going to want to do this every

day

one lemon you’re going to blend it okay

make sure the lemon is an organic lemon

i would blend the whole thing seeds and

all unless the seeds bother your stomach

some people um they might find that they

have a sensitivity or gastritis in their

stomach and so they might take the seeds

out but there’s a lot of nutrition in

these seeds they’re not poisonous like

eating cherry seeds or apricot seeds

things like that the seeds from lemons

or limes are totally fun so what you do

is you simply take eight ounces of water

one cup of water

put in the blender

take the whole lemon

and blend it on down for probably 30

to 45 seconds okay

it will make this whitish drink okay

that’s very very bitter so you know it’s

good for the liver

and especially a fatty liver not to

mention your skin

and giving you all these other great

benefits now to offset the bitterness

i usually like to use

liquid stevia drops

and depending on your taste you might

want to try just five drops and see if

that’s sufficient or some people like it

a little bit sweeter so put up to 10

drops so between 5 and ten drops okay

and then just slug it down it’s actually

quite delicious now you can also use

instead of stevia frozen blueberries

okay you mix a cup of blueberries frozen

with your lemon blend it on down it

makes a delicious lemon blueberry shake

so try this every day not just for a

fatty liver but to get the extra

benefits

of the so-called waste product of lemons

that most people are disregarding just

because they don’t know all the amazing

bio flavonoid benefits from the whole

lemon now if you haven’t seen my popular

video on lemon water yet

i put it right here check it out
