Lemon Water
Weight Loss Benefits.
Rich in antioxidants, high in fiber and low in calories,
limes are an effective weight-loss food. Lime is one of those foods that
improve the body's ability to burn fat/calories, though the weight loss mantra
still remains the same i.e. burning more calories than what you consume every
day. You may have lime either by squeezing it in water or over
delicacies/salads.
How lime
helps one to lose weight
There have been several debates on the effectiveness of lemon
in improving digestion and helping the body regulate sugar absorption, thus,
helping in weight loss. Lime helps the
body detoxify by breaking food down with the help of stomach acid and move it
into the small intestine where the nutrients are absorbed. Thereafter, food is
converted into solid stool which is then eliminated naturally.
The Nutrition and Metabolic Research Center described lemon
as a fat burner owing to the presence of vitamin C which helps the body to
absorb calcium into its fat cells. Calcium in the fat cells restrains the
desire to eat more, thus, preventing weight gain. A study at Arizona State University also
suggested that people who have foods that are high in vitamins such as lemons,
oranges, and grapes are less likely to gain weight.
