Lemons have antibacterial, antiviral, and immune-boosting ability. They have also been used as a weight loss aid because lemon juice aides in digestion and liver cleansing. Lemons contain many substances--notably calcium, magnesium, vitamin C, bioflavonoids, pectin, and limonene--that promote immunity and fight infection. The vitamin C they contain is important for making and repairing collagen, the elastic-like substance found in skin, ligaments, and other body tissues. Lemon juice is also a great salt substitute.
