HEALTH BENEFITS OF CITRUS
Citrus fruits are packed full of vitamin C, rich in fiber and have numerous plant compounds (flavonoids, carotenoids and essential oils) that produce various health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. They contain nutrients that boost heart health, protect the brain and reduce kidney stones!
And, by the way . . . look at the amazing mandala patterns they have naturally!
But, did you know that you don’t even have to eat or drink citrus to receive some of the fabulous, natural health benefits?
The fresh scent of citrus is a natural mood booster! The refreshing, uplifting aromas of lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange and other citrus fruits can help boost the body’s ability to produce serotonin, which is a positive, ‘feel good’ hormone.
At the same time, citrus scents can also help decrease the body’s stress hormone, norepinephrine. WOW! The incredible power of citrus is quite impressive – it can really help put the squeeze on depression, sadness and even anger. The scent of citrus can simultaneously calm and relax us while at the same time invigorate us with uplifting, positive energy!
