Lemonade

June 9, 2025June 9, 2025

Dear Friends and Potential Friends,

SPACE

I write this letter in hopes that you are ok or semi-ok. I write to discuss lemonade and lemon shots (pure lemon juice and ginger) awesome beverages that I enjoy drinking occasionally.

Warmer weather, hotter weather and days when the humidity kills your hair flip are here. It is hot and a cold soda will only make things worse. Therefore, i grab some lemons and let the yum begin. Lemonade because of the acidity actually is more refreshing than a soda water. Depending on what type of lemonade i am in the mood for, i will make my lemonade tarty or regular. On some days I will make lemonade without any sweetener so then I can add some honey to each glass of lemonade. Then on some days I will boil a little bit of water with sugar, then after that comes to a boil allow that to cool off and add to my lemonade. Then on a lazy day, bam just a regular cup of sugar from the sugar container.

The importance of lemons is overlooked.  Lemons are high in vitamin C. Lemons  help reduce the risk of heart disease. When I was a kid my mom would tell me, “stop eating those lemons or they are going to thin your blood and if you cut yourself you are going to bleed like a water faucet”.  To this day I still ask myself, does that indicate that whatever is in the blood is also thinned with lemons ? Hum! I found an awesome article about lemons, link  https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/6-lemon-health-benefits#TOC_TITLE_HDR_4  The article mentions that lemons help prevent kidney stones. That makes sense to me because the lemon acidity would do that. The lemons acidity would dissolve the kidney stones to where they can they be passed. The article also mentioned that lemons help with anemia. The article says, “lemons contain both vitamin C and citric acid, they may protect against anemia by ensuring that you absorb as much iron as possible from your diet”. Another awesome thing about lemons the article mentioned is that, lemons reduce cancer. That makes sense to me because of the lemon acidity fighting and combating against the cancer cells. On this side of the wrestling ring we have Lemon Acidity and on this side of the wrestling ring we have Cancer Cells therefore let the fighting begin. Also the acidity from the lemon acidity would throw punch the cancer cells and make them thinner, less strong. The last thing the article mentioned is that lemons help with the digestive system. This is true because when I do my lemon beverages I can actually feel the relief from having eaten hours before.

In conclusion, lemons will typically do a body good. Regardless if you decide to make lemonade. Perhaps do what I do and drink pure lemon shots (drink straight up lemon juice is what i sometimes do). Perhaps just slice a lemon in half and eat the lemon. Fruit juice stands and stores sell fresh Lemon and Ginger shots in small 2 ounces size of nothing but fresh lemon juice and ginger.  Don’t forget to add some fresh squeezed lemon juice on top of your pasta dish for that extra yum. Have A Good Day!
