Dr. Alexandra Lapina, a Russian nutrition expert, announced that lemon improves the digestion of food, stimulates appetite and lowers cholesterol.
In an interview with the Russian RIA Novosti news agency, the expert points out that lemon has many benefits for health, but at the same time there are specific features in the body that prevent its consumption.
“Lemon improves digestion, stimulates appetite, lowers cholesterol, relieves spasms and prevents malignant tumors,” she says. “Lemon is often used to fight colds and coughs. It also has antiviral and antibacterial properties.”
She adds, but not everyone can eat lemon, because it causes allergies. It is also not recommended for those who suffer from kidney, stomach and intestine problems to take it.
