“Cutting a Lemon and Placing It by Your Bed – Here’s Why”
Did you know that a lemon can offer more than just a refreshing drink? We already know they have multiple uses, but we had no idea they could be used for this purpose! Cutting into the yellow fruit and placing it next to your bed in a small bowl has numerous health benefits.
Who knew lemons were so useful!
Vitamin Boost
If you’re tough enough and don’t mind the extremely sour taste, you can eat a whole lemon and be done with it. Lemons provide a genuine vitamin boost as they are packed with super-healthy phytonutrients. These phytonutrients scavenge for free radicals in your body that cause damage. Start your morning by drinking a glass of lukewarm water with lemon juice to kickstart your digestion and improve your skin. In other words, there are only benefits to gain from consuming this sour fruit.
Empty Stomach
To maximize the benefits of your lemon water, it’s important to drink it on an empty stomach in the morning. This way, it’s most effective in cleansing your body of toxins and also aids in weight loss. When consumed on an empty stomach, lemon water stimulates the production of bile in your liver, which reduces hunger and aids in faster digestion. Moreover, the citric acid in lemon water is beneficial for oral hygiene, ensuring bacteria and food residue vanish from your mouth.
But did you know that it can also help with depression and anxiety attacks? Read on to the next page to find out how!
Antiseptic Properties
The aroma of lemon contains antiseptic properties that can influence your mood. The scent of the fruit can help lessen episodes of depression and anxiety and create a positive atmosphere in the room. All you need for this trick are a few lemons. Cut off the top of a lemon and place it upright with the cut part facing upwards. Then, take a sharp knife and make incisions into the top of the fruit in both directions, as shown in the picture on the first page. Be careful not to cut the parts completely. Place the cut lemon in a bowl next to your bed and let the aroma work its magic. For an even more effective result, you can place a bowl with a sliced lemon in each corner of the room.
Concentration
As if feeling more relaxed and less anxious isn’t reason enough to try this trick, we’ve discovered another benefit for you. Inhaling the citrus aroma of the yellow fruit stimulates your mental activity. Smelling this aroma every day improves concentration and enhances memory. Bringing a few lemons to your workplace is also a good idea, as people tend to make fewer mistakes and work more efficiently when there’s a lemony scent around the room.
