 Friends, this time I want to share a little about the benefits of lemon, this plant thrives in front of our house.  This lemon tree was planted by our late father. It turns out that lemon fruit is very beneficial for our stomachs, especially during this Eid al-Fitr holiday, the consumption of meat which is more or less influential for digestion.

 Considering that it is so special to sacrifice, of course eating the sacrificial meat dish is also very special.  Sometimes people who "abstain" from eating meat for health reasons, during the Hajj they take the time to take blessings by tasting beef and mutton.  Moreover, those of us who are not abstaining from eating meat, of course, sometimes the portions become larger than usual.

 (Ripe lemons.)

 In some countries that have a habit of consuming meat, and are less familiar with consuming fish.  So like it or not, the only option is to consume meat.  Actually beef is not only delicious and tasty, beef also provides the nutritional needs that our bodies really need.  For some people too, consuming beef can have an effect on health due to the condition of the disease.  There are people who suffer from cholesterol, stomach acid, ulcers and others.

 Besides that, lemon is one of the best sources of vitamin C which can regulate your immunity.  Moreover, during the current Covid-19 epidemic, vitamin C is one of the main factors to increase our immunity.  Without adequate intake of vitamin C in the body, our immune system will not be able to survive to fight viruses and bacteria that live in the body.

 There are several types of fruit that we can consume which function as traditional medicines to treat stomach problems.  One of the best is Lemon Orange which is very effective to help overcome digestive problems.

 Apart from boosting antibodies, the sour taste of lemon water can help digest food
 The citrus flavonoids in lemon help the acids in the stomach break down food, thereby improving overall digestion.  Helping digestion is especially important as we get older as the amount of acid in the stomach decreases with age.

 Drinking a glass of warm lemon is very good for health, than we consume coffee or tea in the morning.  This lemon juice is believed to also reduce weight because of the nature of this lemon which controls calories, so nowadays many women consume this juice for reasons of losing weight.  Lemon juice with its natural aroma also makes us feel calm and relaxed so that it can increase the concentration of our thoughts.

 The way to serve it is very easy, we just need to add lemon slices and grated lemon to warm water.  We slice the lemon and the peel into a glass.  Better yet, soak it for a while in the glass so that all the substance from the lemon wedge comes out.  There are many benefits of pectin, the fiber found in the pulp and skin of the fruit.  Many studies have shown that fiber can improve digestion and intestinal health, we can consume lemon juice by adding honey or sugar or without using honey or sugar.  May be useful.[]
