Lemon Lime?

Question

a friend of mine told me that if you add a whole lemon or a whole lime or a mixture of both is really healthy for you but didn't explain why i happen to love both in water what are the health benefits of lemon? what about lime? Any risks Like overdose kidney problems etc... is it safe to add one of each, once a day

Answer 1

All I know is one of the British captains was the first to use limes with his crew to prevent scurvy, on the sailing ships, because the lack of vitamin C caused by fresh fruit and vegies running out on long trips.

That's why the Americans call the British sailors Limeys.

Prior to that a lot crew members were lost at sea through scurvy.

Answer 2

They are just a citrus fruit like oranges.  The vitamin C passes through you in a day and you need not worry on any vitamin overdose. The pulp also is passed.  Some people cannot handle the acidity of citrus.  IE.  you see in stores orange juice with low acid sold.  I have that problem.  It show in my tongue now and then my tongue is sensitive just a little. So, no not that I have ever heard of.

Answer 3
