😉 Greetings to my regular and new readers! Dear Lemon is our guest today. In this article, “The use of lemon in everyday life and for health: tips” – our guest in an unusual role.
How good it is sometimes to drink tea with the addition of a slice of lemon familiar to everyone. Lovers of fresh and invigorating fruit add its zest to a wide variety of baked goods. From pies and buns to airy cakes to give them a unique flavor.
But these are far from all cases when lemon cannot be replaced with something else. Let’s consider several options for using this amazing fruit.
Using lemon in everyday life
In the kitchen
In modern electric kettles, scale often appears, which all housewives, without exception, can not stand. It is she who becomes a breeding ground for unpleasant odors in the device, and also impairs its operation.
This is where the leftover lemon cuttings from culinary accomplishments come to the rescue. How do you use them in this slightly unfamiliar role? You just need to cut off the top layer, separating it from the white soft layer, and put it in the kettle.
The kettle must be boiled, emptied immediately and refilled with cold water. The scale will peel off the walls and it will shine again.
Lemon cleans the microwave perfectly!
Fill half a microwave-safe bowl with water. Add a few citrus wedges and microwave for 5 minutes. Condensation will remain on the walls of the microwave. Wait 10 minutes. Then wipe off this condensation with a suitable cloth – done!
In general, the peel of this citrus is a unique product! Sometimes it is indispensable in the household. For example, if you mix it with pepper, you get a wonderful seasoning. The residue can be used to make a natural fragrance that will help eliminate unpleasant odors from the trash can.
To do this, you just need to rub its inner surface (previously washed) with the outer side of the lemon peel. And the pulp of this fruit is able to clean metal elements in the bathroom and kitchen from soapy deposits.
Lemon juice mixed with fine salt can be used to deep clean wood cutting boards for fish and meat. The smell of these products after treatment with the composition evaporates, and the board itself becomes light and clean.
Wash
Lemon juice with the addition of baking soda is great for whitening laundry. Soak the laundry in a solution (water + lemon juice + soda) for half an hour before washing. Rub the stains with a lemon wedge. After washing, snow-white and clean linen will pleasantly surprise you.
Lemon for health
When combined with baking soda, lemon is an excellent remedy for softening hardened heels. To experience the effectiveness of this remedy, you need to cut the fruit in half and dip the cut into baking soda.
Body Care
Wipe the previously washed feet with this product for 3-5 minutes and rinse with warm water. The skin on them will become noticeably lighter and softer after the first procedure. You can cleanse the whole body with lemon and skin. You need to make a scrub with coarse sugar, pulp, lemon peel and a few drops of olive oil.
Nail care
There is a simple recipe for nail care. Take half a lemon and squeeze the lemon juice into a cup of warm water. Dip your fingertips into the cup for 5-7 minutes. This healing bath will strengthen your marigolds.
From nausea
Are you seasick or sick? A slice of citrus will help you: hold it in your mouth for a while – the malaise should go away.
As you can see, lemon is not only a tasty and healthy food product. With its help, you can put in order dishes, furniture, plumbing and, most importantly, your body! If you don’t know how to use lemon beyond its intended use, you should look at it with different eyes.
Then, perhaps, you will find a hundred more ways to use the leftovers of this fruit with benefit. But remember that thick-skinned fruits are not very juicy.
