Lemons are packed with flavor, but (thankfully) not calorie
s
— the juice of an entire lemon has only 12 calories but a whopping third of the daily recommended value of vitamin C. But it's more than just a diet-friendly flavor-booster. They're an antioxidant powerhouse (in addition to all the vitamin C) . Those antioxidants, known as flavonoids, could help lemons decrease heart disease risk, reduce inflammation, and fight some cancers(including pancreatic and stomach). More recent studies have even shown that lemons could play a role in protecting the brain and preventing stroke (at least in women) .
