Does anyone know the benefits of drinking lemon juice?

I use fresh squeezed lemon along with other ingredients as a liver cleanser.

Lemon water also surpresses your appetiate. Whenever I do fasts I drink a lot of it throughout the day and it is very effective as an appetiate supressant.

Armandillo Pie: Very interesting post. I'm planning a 7 day water fast this winter so your post is very timely. I never knew this particular benefit of drinking lemon juice. Wish I had know this on the three fasts that I did years ago. Thanks.

Gald I could provide some info. Michael, I have done many fasts, some at my home and some at We Care, a fasting/cleansing spa out in the California Desert. It was there that I discovered the benefits of lemon water. They had us drink a lot of it throughout the day ( also they added fresh peppermint leaves for digestion). It not only invigorated me, but made the fasting so much easier. Good luck,
