What are the Benefits of Lime Water?
Who knew simply adding fruit into water could have so many benefits? Well, we did. Check out some of our favourite lime water benefits below:
It’s filled with antioxidants - limes are an excellent source of potassium, calcium, magnesium and vitamins A, B, C & D and may protect your body from free radicals and harmful chemicals.
It could promote healthy, youthful skin - lime water is filled with vitamin C and flavonoids, which are the antioxidants which strengthen collagen. You can also find these ingredients in popular skincare products!
It may aid digestion! - The acidic content of limes can help break down food for better digestion. Not only this, but the flavonoids in limes can also stimulate secretion of digestive juices.
It may help fight infections - The vitamins and antioxidants in lime water can help fight off infections like the flu. So if you feel like you’re coming down with something, we recommend squeezing some limes, or cracking open a can of our delicious lime sparkling water.
