LET’S MAKE INVISIBLE INK

Simply dab a brush into a bowl of
LEMON FRESH lemon juice and write away on white paper. Make sure you
don't use too much juice.

To see the message, simply heat
the paper after it dries. Another
way to see the message is put salt
on the drying ink. Give it a minute
and then wipe the salt off. Use a
wax crayon to color over the message.

Why it works: Lemon juice is mildly
acidic and acid weakens paper. The
acid remains in the paper after the
juice has dried. When the paper is
held near heat the acidic parts of
the paper turn brown.

......MORNING RITUALS

Nutritionists recommend to start the day by drinking a glass
of water and lemon juice. Lemon has a number of beneficial
qualities: Lemons are diuretic and helps out the colon.
(For some people lemons even works as a laxative). Lemons
are an antiseptic. The detoxing qualities help cleanse the
body (clean out impurities and toxins). Some sources claim
that the regular consumption of a lemon drink in the morning
helps to stimulate the liver to produce bile, for better
digestion of the day's food.
......THE LEMON JUICE DIET

What is an easy way to detoxify your system
and lose weight? Not fasting, not liquid or fad
diets. The Lemon Juice Diet is a safe and
delicious eating plan that goes far beyond the ‘Master Cleanse’ program used by celebrities
for quick, short-term fixes. Instead of just suggesting dieters drink a concoction of lemon juice, cayenne, and maple syrup, The Lemon
Juice Diet starts there and then integrates
lemon juice into a healthier, easy to maintain, long-term plan.

Lemon is a natural powerhouse; its great flavor makes it an easy addition to your diet and its low glycemic index provides a steady stream of energy, without the sugar high and subsequent crash we get from high GI foods. The Lemon Juice Diet capitalizes on lemon juice's natural power to lower blood sugar, create a feeling of fullness, provide  vitamin C and stimulate the liver for maximum fat-burning. Lemon juice can even boost immunity and brain function, fight cholesterol, and fire up your metabolism.

With clear meal plans, delicious recipes and easy exercise tips, The Lemon Juice Diet is a quick and easy way to long-lasting good health. The Lemon Juice Diet (Paperback) by Theresa Cheung.

....EXTRA BOOST TO GREEN TEA

If you add squeezed lemon juice to your green tea you’re probably giving your body an extra boost, according to a recent study from Purdue University. "Citrus juice added to green tea caused more of the tea’s antioxidants to persist through simulated digestion. This suggests that adding vitamin C or citrus juices such as lemon and lime results in more available antioxidants at the absorption phase," reports the study’s lead author and assistant professor of food science at Purdue University, Mario Ferruzzi.

THE WORLD OF GLAMOUR IS LOOKING AT
NATURAL DETOX

Singer and actress Beyonce Knowles made the Master Cleanse a Hollywood favorite. This cleanse is more like a fast. As you do not eat the digestive system is cleaned out. The cleanse consists mainly of drinking water with lemon juice, cayenne, and maple syrup all day every day for around seven to ten days. People lose a lot of weight, but it's not for the weak. It seams one has to be physically and mentally strong to endure this one. Check out facts on wikipedia.

......REPLACING SALT WITH LEMON JUICE

Consider lemons and limes as powerhouses to bring out the flavor of
other foods, ensuring that food does not taste bland. If you are watching your salt intake (and even if you are not), use lemon juice as the tartness makes a great salt substitute and may help to replace the craving you may have for salt. Best of all, lemon juice does not raise your blood pressure.
