Lime Whether you’re adding a bit of lime to your favorite drink, squeezing the juice atop a savory dinner, or concocting an intoxicating margarita body scrub, the health benefits of lime stretch far beyond your wildest dreams!

Limes are an excellent sources of vitamin C, B6, Potassium, Folate, Flavonoids and the outstanding phytochemical – Limonene. Limonene has anti-cancer effects and helps increase the level of enzymes that detoxify carcinogens.

All it takes is a bit of lime mixed into your drinking water to effortlessly enjoy all of its medicinal properties. Toss a few slices of lime (with the peel) into your glass, or make your own lime cubes by pouring freshly squeezed lime juice into an ice tray. Pop a few cubes into your drink and increase the absorbability of all other nutrients in the beverage five-fold!
