Lemon is useful, but the benefits of its seeds should not be overlooked. It is known that lemon can be extremely beneficial for our health, mainly because it is rich in vitamin C, but did you know that its seeds are also an excellent source of useful substances?, N1 TV reported.
You can consume lemon seeds by first grinding them, then mixing them with water, boiling the liquid, and drinking it. Lemon pit paste can also be used as an addition to various dishes. Note that it is not good to take more than three to five seeds at a time. If you don't grind them before eating, they won't harm you, but they probably won't be digested.
The most important positive effects that regular consumption of seeds can bring are the following:
Protection against oxidative stress:
Like lemons, we find a lot of vitamin C in the seeds, which is one of the most praised antioxidants (100 g of lemon peel contains about 47 mg of vitamin C).
They are also a good source of limonoids and flavonoids. By consuming lemon seeds, you can provide your body with important antioxidants that will neutralize the negative effects of free radicals. This will reduce the risk of oxidative stress and therefore of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and other diseases.
It is possible to make quality lemon seed oil, which is one of nature's great analgesics.
Lemon seed oil is said to have a very positive effect on the parts of the brain associated with pain perception, which provides an analgesic effect.
Stimulation of collagen formation:
One of the main culprits of accelerated skin aging is the slowing down of collagen production.
Collagen is an extremely important structural protein that is responsible for the elasticity and durability of the skin. One of the best ways to slow skin aging is to increase your vitamin C intake.
Not only is it an excellent antioxidant that protects the skin from UV rays and other negative effects responsible for accelerated skin aging, but vitamin C is also important for the creation of collagen itself.
Helps fight infections:
Lemon seed extract can be useful for the prevention and faster control of various infections, including fungal ones.
For example, it has been found that substances in lemon peel can reduce the risk of candida overgrowth, a well-known fungus that can cause serious damage if it overgrows.
Improves memory and concentration:
Do you feel like your memory isn't the best lately? Perhaps you have noticed that it is quite difficult for you to focus.
With these symptoms, on the one hand, it is logical to rule out more serious problems first. If it turns out that there is nothing more serious (for example, early signs of Alzheimer's disease), then there are natural remedies that can help your brain work. Among them is lemon seed oil, which can be very beneficial for memory and concentration and is said to help improve mood as it has been found to have a positive effect on dopamine and serotonin receptors. /BGNES
