How does lemon juice aid in COVID-19 recovery?

Question

Hi doctor,

I recently contracted COVID-19, and my doctor recommended consuming plenty of lemon juice and citrus fruits. I have since recovered and feel much better, and I am curious about the specific benefits they provide to our bodies.

Why are lemon and other citrus fruits beneficial for the body?
What makes them special in healthy eating?
Could you please tell me the various ways we can incorporate lemon and other citrus fruits into our diet to further improve overall health?

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and can understand your concern.

Lemons and other citrus fruits are beneficial for our body primarily because they are rich in vitamin C. Vitamin C plays a key role in detoxifying the body, supporting overall health, and aiding in the digestion of fatty tissues, especially for those who may be obese. Additionally, these fruits have the special property of preventing the formation of stones in the body, such as kidney stones or gallbladder stones, as they help break them down. Our body often requires detoxification to remove harmful toxins, and vitamin C-rich foods like lemons and other citrus fruits are very effective in this process.

Let me know if you need any further information.

Thank you.
