Your well-being will notice. For our part, we explain three great benefits for your health that you can get with the lemon peel.

It should be remembered that these remedies do not have a proven scientific basis at the moment, therefore, if you notice any side effects we recommend that you stop using them.

1. Lemon peel to treat joint pain

Joint pain can be caused by arthritis, injuries, contractures, or even by the accumulation of uric acid crystals (gout). All these ailments occur with inflammation in the tissue that surrounds the damaged joint itself.

Thus, one way to combat and treat said inflammation could be to use a natural antiseptic to reduce both pain and possible fever and even the infection that can appear in these areas.

• Lemon peel contains multiple oils, such as citronella and phelandrene, as well as vitamin C, citric acid, malic acid, formic acid, hesperidin or pectins, among others.
• All of these components could reduce joint pain and blood vessel inflammation.

2. Lemon peel to speed up metabolism and lose weight

As we have already pointed out at the beginning, it is in the lemon peel itself that most of its benefits are concentrated. In this case, when it comes to losing some weight and accelerating the metabolism, the pectin contained in this part of the lemon will be very useful.

• Pectin could help us when it comes to prevent us from absorbing sugar or accumulating fat deposits.
• It should also be noted that we should never carry out an extreme diet based only on lemon juice.  This remedy is only a supplement to our diet, which should always be varied, balanced but complete.

When it comes to losing weight, we must do it with health.
