Let’s talk about lemon juice and how to avoid common mistakes when consuming it.

It’s important to avoid pasteurized lemon juice because the heat used can destroy some of the benefits. Instead, consume lemon juice squeezed from organic lemons or blend whole organic lemons.

Top potential benefits of lemons and limes:
• They can help reduce kidney stones
• They’re high in vitamin C and may help reduce the symptoms of vitamin C deficiency and scurvy
• They have an antihistamine effect
• They have anti-fungal properties
• They can help reduce uric acid
• They can help increase iron absorption

Top mistakes people make when consuming lemon juice:
1. Drinking it right before a meal
What to do:
• Consume lemon water at least a half hour before you eat.

2. Not diluting it with water and not using a straw
What to do:
• Dilute your lemon juice with water and drink it through a straw.

3. Drinking it if you have an ulcer or gastritis
What to do:
• Lemon water will cause a burning sensation in this situation. Avoid anything acidic if you have an ulcer or inflammation in the stomach.

4. Drinking it if you have alkalosis
What to do:
• Lemon juice can worsen the symptoms of alkalosis and should be avoided in this situation.

From the studies I've read pasteurization only drops vitamin c a few percent, but could drop it up too around 40% if the pasteurization/shelf time are rather extreme.
Thanks for all you do, you've taught me so much. Hopefully this is returning the favor a bit!

I’ve learned so much from you and I am in the healthiest state I’ve ever been, both mentally and physically. If it is sore throat, sleep deprivation, blood sugar (energy level) or candida, your information made me overcome these things quite easily. thanks

You are a godsend Dr. Thank you for sharing your GIFTS to the world! I have learnt so much and benefited greatly from your teaching videos! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I do a full of shot glass lemon juice with sea salt whenever I felt an itchy throat. The following day my itchy throat would be gone. Works every time.

Lucky for me I live on a lemon farm. It's probably why I am so bitter.

God bless you Doctor. We're grateful

I carry a lemon to work often. The afternoon slump is easily remedied by drinking a bottle of water with fresh lemon juice in it. I swear by it! 🌿🍋

Just wanted to say you are the reason I’m healthy today. I’ve learned so much from you and I am in the healthiest state I’ve ever been, both mentally and physically.

Thanks to watching hundreds of Dr. Berg's videos, as well as Dr. Jason Fung's, and strict keto I've gone from 265 lbs at over 30% bodyfat and diagnosed pre diabetic to 214 lbs at app 14% bodyfat in 7 months, all while gaining muscle. I turn 50 in 2 months and am in the same shape as when I was in the military.

There are millions of content on YouTube giving opinions to keep healthy but I only found them exaggerating the effects of whatever they recommend. Yours are very scientific and logical. If you just enhance the volume in the video it will be better to understand the content. Thanks

[s.p]

I am so happy I found Dr.Berg's videos! I am learning so much and by watching them I'm changing my mindset and wanting to be healthier. I forward video links to friends and have been telling everyone about his video!

Mr. Berg - I would like to thank you for your valuable content.
I used to be 270 pounds, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, bad liver, bad vision, bad lungs at age 54 I was in bad shape.
My diet was all processed foods, carbs and sugar.
For the last 3 years I've followed your Clean Keto, lemon ACV Water, 8 to 10 cups of cruciferous veges and daily walking.
I buy organic meats, direct from the local farmers as possible which supports my community.
I cut out all all the processed crap, all sugar and alcohol and only eat 25 grams of carbs a day.
I've lost over 50 pounds, I now have ZERO health issues, I leap out of bed and have tons of energy.
I can't thank you enough for sharing your experiences, you saved my life.

[johnziersch]
