Lemons

Fresh lemon juice is king of fruit juices. It contains citric acid, which acts in body in a way no other juice does. First it acts on liver to build up its enzymes so it can detoxify toxins in blood. Then it combines with calcium to form soluble chemical substances. This makes it effective in removing kidney and pancreatic stones, plack build up along artery walls, and other calcium deposits that occur in body.

When liver, gallbladder, and pancreas are not working right, food digestion is affected. This in turn will create constipation.

Use lemons moderately since they break up oils during digestion and in our body they make oils less available to our cells and joints.
