Lemons fruits, rich in antioxidant vitamin C and potassium,  which help protect against cancer,  cardiovascular disease, asthma attacks, .

The flavonoids in citrus fruits may help lower the risk of ischemic stroke in women.
Ischemic stroke is the most common type of stroke. 
It can happen when a blood clot blocks the flow of blood to the brain.





Iron deficiency is a leading cause of anemia.

Squeezing a bit of Lemon Juice to the salad containing baby spinach leaves and raisins can help maximize the intake of both iron and vitamin C.




Symptoms can start to appear within a month of not consuming vitamin C, and they include:

fatigue
malaise (a feeling of being unwell)
inflammation of the gums or bleeding gums
red patches on the skin due to blood vessels breaking beneath the surface
joint pain
slow wound healing
loosening of teeth
depression
Many of these happen when the connective tissues weaken due to the lack of vitamin C.

Since vitamin C helps the body absorb iron, people who are deficient in iron may also develop anemia.
