This is a delicious, refreshing tonic for the warm weather. It is loaded with Vitamin C — the juice of three lemons provides about 135 mg of Vitamin C, or 167 percent of the RDA. Squeezing fresh lemon juice on your greens, fish, or adding it to a glass a of water is a great way to get a boost of Vitamin C. Lemons also contain limonene, which is a potent phytochemical that has strong anticancer properties.
