let’s talk about the mind-blowing

benefits of a lemon I think most people

know that lemons are high in vitamin C

so if you buy uh lemon juice that’s

bottled it’s pasteurized so you’re not

going to get a lot of vitamin C I’m

talking about fresh squeeze lemon juice

okay so you have vitamin C you also have

citrate which can help lower the risk of

getting kidney stones lemons are good

for the skin good for digestion but

today I’m going to talk about this other

group of nutrients and lemons called

flavonoids okay there are over 6,000

different flavonoids and no we’re not

going to cover each one of them today

but we are going to cover one flavonoid

okay just one so the one I want to cover

is called Os citrin Os citrin is a

flavonoid in lemons and lemons have the

most OS citrates and these are the facts

removing fat from your liver helping you

balance out your lipids like cholesterol

in your liver reversal of diabetes on a

double blinded randomized study OC

citrin has similar effects to the main

antioxidant in green tea so it’s a very

very powerful antioxidant Aeros citrin

also has a lot to do with protecting the

Integrity of your capillaries so how is

that going to relate to what problems

you might have well bleeding gums if

your gum tissue is like red or swollen

wow you need lemons it’s not just the

vitamin C it’s these flavonoids and that

can also give you a lot of benefits in

your circulation the peripheral

circulation the circulation that happens

in the extremities like on the bottom of

your feet or ankles or your hands are

discolored or you have um circulation

problems or maybe you have um spider

veins OC citrin can greatly help that

some of these other phytonutrients have

huge profound effect um against

hypoglycemia high blood glucose which is

diabetes so let’s say you are a diabetic

or you have sugar or let’s say you just

ate a bunch of sugar and you had a lemon

the phytonutrient the flavonoids in that

lemon are going to counteract all this

oxidative stress going on they’re going

to also improve your HDL they’re going

to decrease your LDL and your

triglycerides there’s also some really

great data which I’m going to put all

this down below of decreasing your risk

to Chronic Venus insufficiency that’s a

problem with your Venus system or the

veins these compounds are very potent

anti-inflammatories for things like

rheumatoid arthritis or any type of

arthritis these compounds decrease

something called glycation glycation is

The Binding of sugar to protein or sugar

to a fat making that protein unusable in

your body clogging things up and so the

flavonoids directly inhibit that

formation and because flavonoids

decrease inflammation you also get a

decrease of fibrosis as well as clotting

flavonoids also have a pretty uh potent

effect against insulin resistance which

the majority of the population has and

probably doesn’t know it which includes

things like metabolic syndrome where you

have like blood pressure issues ETC

these flavonoids also have a profound

effect against something called diabetic

cardiomyopathy which is a problem not

just with the vascular system in the

heart but the actual heart muscle itself

so these flavonoids uh Target supporting

the endothelial layer the inside layer

of that artery where you have a lot of

damage that can occur and then you have

plaque that forms from there but also

the heart muscle itself there’s also a

whole bunch of data on what it can do to

your brain uh it’s very neuroprotective

the essential oil in the lemon which is

little bit different than these other

compounds are antimicrobial so what does

this mean it means you should be

consuming more lemons and I would

recommend taking the whole lemon peel in

all with a maybe a 12 oz glass of water

maybe do like a couple drops of stevia

or you can do electrolyte powder that’s

already sweetened with stevia blend it

up and drink that in the morning

especially if you have blood sugar

problems you’re diabetic or you’re

pre-diabetic or you have insulin

resistance now of course I always like

to add a little apple cider vinegar with

it just to give it a nice little kick

but I just wanted to give you some extra

data on lemons which are uh way more

beneficial than I actually thought as

you may know it’s becoming more and more

difficult to find my content so if you

want Dr Berg un filtered go to rumble I

put a link down below and I will see you

on the other
