Let’s
continue our talks on lime fruits and conclude same here.
One of the
best things about the lime fruits and its juice is its many excellent medicinal
properties and its use in the prevention and curative values of ill-health.
It is on
record that what modern medicine in its advance stage could not do, lime fruits
can and this is good news indeed.
Among all
fruits, lime fruits come to mind as the best medicinal fruit. We saw in part 1
of this discourse how the English navy used it to keep scurvy at bay in their
many seafaring voyage or military conquest. They kept this as a secret for
years and dominated the high seas.
Now, all
these is shared and no longer a secret, but only to the ignorant minds.
It is on
this basis that lime fruit is distributed to workers in many unfriendly work
place where scurvy is likely to break out, like coal mines, cement factories,
heat furnaces and painting shops.
Other health
benefit information on the fruit and its juice include the following and much
more.
Care of the skin: The juice and its oils care
wonderfully for the skin. This can be the consumption of the entire fruit or
externally applied. Due to its many antibiotic, antiseptic and disinfectant properties,
lime fruit juice or limeade and its oils (lime oil) cures rashes, dandruff,
enzymes, acnes and pimples. That is why they are the main ingredients in many
cosmetics, skin and hair care lotions and oils.
Easing Constipation: The acids in lime fruit juices
scrub and wash off any dirty in both the excretory and digestive systems. This
in turn benefits the immune system. In this way, it helps to ease constipation.
When I was a
boy, I used a pitch or two of common salt to mix two or three pieces of the
lime fruits that I squeezed into a cup of warm water. This prevents the juice
from being too sour. This solution or mixture is a good purgative remedy. When
it is taken with a cup of cucumber fruit, it strongly evacuated dirty in the
intestines and has no negative side effect.
This is one
of the best homemade purgative herbal remedies without resorting to herbal teas
over the counter.
Prevents Diabetes Lime fruits can be use to prevent
diabetes mellitus. The Glycemic Index (GI) of the fruits is 0 or 1. And
prevents the tendency of the blood glucose (sugar level) to rise high.. This
is related to preventing high blood pressure and heart diseases. This is
because of the high soluble fibre in the fruits.
Prevents Fever Many agreed that lime fruits can
prevent fever and it is also an antidote for its treatment. My experience here
is should I develop a feverish condition, (I rarely get sick these days due to
my taking good care of my body with natures greens) I will squeezed at least
two fresh lime fruits into a cup of warm black tea. I take this three times
morning, noon and evening to cleanse my digestive system. Then I will eat my
supper.
Cholera Cholera can strike any time without
notice. Talks about it being confirm only to some third world countries is
useless. It is a very serious disease where water is concern. So if by mistake
a water system, whether domestic, public or industrial get polluted, cholera
can strike, right?
So here is
the chance to put a few drops of fresh lime juice in your drinking water no
matter how safe it is. The few drops of the juice you squeezed into the
drinking water refreshed the water much more with a nice flavor.
In this way,
one can prevent many other ailments like gum disease of the mouth and gout
because of its vitamin C powerhouse.
We know all
fruits and vegetables has vitamin C. For example, guava has 85% vitamin C;
while lime has 35%. But due to the citric acid content of the lime fruits, its
vitamin C is more powerful than any other fruits and vegetables. It provides a
strong source of antioxidants and detoxifiers (vitamin C plus flavonoids). This
helps to destroy free radicals in the blood stream.
Piles I cannot remember the last time I
bleed when I went to eased myself in the toilet. But I do know for sure that I
bleed. Piles are also known as hemorrhoids. It happen in the anal part of the
body when you when to stool or piss. Limes prevent its formation without any
side effects.
Lime,
further prevent and cures any sores as a result of the hemorrhoids. In this
way, cancers of the colon and anus can be get rid off.
As a person
who is taking limes regularly in my drinking waters, I have not see the disease
occur again, not even in my household or family. That is why I can recommend it
to be used freely in http://myevergreengoodhealth.blogspot.com salads, cooktail, wines, teas, and all meals just by
sprinkling a few drops of its juices on the food one is about to eat. You can
add it to all any other fruits and get a maximum benefit in its vitamin C plus
citric acid content.
Kidney Stone Precipitation Lime fruits have a very high
potassium quality. In the urinary bladder and kidneys, chemicals from drugs and
refined food carbohydrates get a place for deposing. These toxin items were
usual removed by the addition of fresh lime fruits or its juices during meal
time. The lime juices were so effective in dissolving the kidney stones and
other toxins. Furthermore, it cures infections in the urinary system and stops
the growth of prostrate cancer in men according to research findings.
Weight Loss Program As well noted, limes have excellent
citric acid contents. This qualified the lime fruits as a weight reducing
agents in burning the fats in the body in the form of adipose tissues.
Cut and
squeezed two or three fresh lime fruits into a glass of warm water and drink
this in the morning. It will help in reducing your weight.
In addition,
at noon time you can make a snack of the juice with a cucumber fruit. Remember
