Limes are acidic, round, and brilliant green citrus fruits that are packed with vitamin C, antioxidants, and other minerals. Lime has a lot of antioxidants. Antioxidants safeguard your body by preventing or reversing cell damage produced by free radicals, or harmful molecules. Potassium, vitamins A, B, C, and D, calcium, and magnesium are all found in limes. Eating lime fruit or drinking lime juice has several health benefits, as well as aiding in the prevention of many medical conditions, according to Healthline and Medical news today.
1. Heart disease.
According to Healthline, research shows that limes may reduce several heart disease risk factors. Limes are high in vitamin C, which may help lower high blood pressure. Heart disease is caused by high blood pressure, which is a key risk factor. Vitamin C may also help to prevent atherosclerosis, a disease in which plaque builds up in the arteries and narrows them.
3. It helps prevent kidney stones.
Kidney stones are solid mineral crystals in the kidneys that are difficult to pass. They can form inside your kidneys if your urine is extremely concentrated or if you have a lot of stone-forming minerals in your urine, such as calcium. Citrus fruits, such as limes, are high in citric acid, which can help avoid kidney stones by increasing citrate levels in the urine and binding stone-forming minerals.
