The health and beauty benefits of lime range from skin care, to weight loss, to disease fighter, and much more!

Skin Care Tips – Lime juice and its oil make a beautiful skin treatment when consumed orally or applied externally.  It rejuvenates the skin and keeps it shiny. 

Here’s a scrub that will help reduce dry skin patches – Mix 3 tablespoons orange massage oil, 1 tablespoon agave nectar, freshly squeezed juice from 1/2 a  lime, and 2 tablespoons sea salt in a bowl.  Massage all over your body, in a circular motion, rinse, and pat dry.  The lime juice’s vitamin C rejuvenates skin, while its acids and the salt slough off dead skin cells.

Weight Loss - A glass of warm water with the juice of one lime in it is an excellent weight reducer as well as a refreshing, antioxidant drink.   The citric acid present in lime is an excellent fat burner.  Just have 2 glasses a day and watch the results.

Health and Beauty Tip #1 - Add a squeeze of lime juice to a cup of green tea for a supercharged health drink.  The vitamin C in citrus juice allows more of the tea’s catechins (antioxidants that are believed to fight heart disease, stroke, and cancer) to be absorbed during digestion.

Health and Beauty Tip #2 – The antioxidant properties protect eyes from aging and macular degeneration.  Flavonoids help protect them from infections.

Health and Beauty Tip #3- The root causes of gum problems (Scurvy) are deficiency of vitamin C and microbial growth.  Limes can help – it’s vitamin C can help with Scurvy, flavonoids inhibit microbial growth, and potassium & flavonoids help heal ulcers and wounds.
