The Alkalizing Powerfood
Lemons are acidic to the taste, but are alkaline-forming in the body. In fact they are one of the most alkaline-forming foods; this makes them great for balancing a highly acidic condition in the body.Lemons are a favorite all over the world and an essential food in kitchens everywhere.
“We are living in a world today where lemonade is made from artificial flavors and furniture polish is made from real lemons.” –Alfred E. Newman
1. Lemons are alkalizing for the body: Lemons are acidic to begin with but they are alkaline-forming on body fluids helping to restore balance to the body’s pH.
2. Lemons are rich in vitamin C and flavonoids that work against infections like the flu and colds.
3. Your liver loves lemons: “The lemon is a wonderful stimulant to the liver and is a dissolvent of uric acid and other poisons, liquefies the bile,” says Jethro Kloss in his book Back to Eden. Fresh lemon juice added to a large glass of water in the morning is a great liver detoxifier.
4. Cleans your bowels: Lemons increase peristalsis in the bowels, helping to create a bowel movement thus eliminating waste and helping with regularity. Add the juice of one lemon to warm water and drink first thing in the morning.
5. Scurvy is treated by giving one to two ounces of lemon juice diluted with water every two to four hours. In 1747, a naval surgeon named James Lind cured scurvy with fresh lemons. To this day, the British Navy requires ships to carry enough lemons so that every sailor could have one ounce of juice a day. In the past, lemons were replaced with limes; this is where the English got their nickname “limeys.”
6. The citric acid in lemon juice helps to dissolve gallstones, calcium deposits, and kidney stones.
7. Vitamin C in lemons helps to neutralize free radicals linked to aging and most types of disease.
8. The lemon peel contains the potent phytonutrient tangeretin, which has been proven to be effective for brain disorders like Parkinson’s disease.
9. In India, Ayurveda medicine values the lemon as a fruit and for its properties. It is sour, warm, promoter of gastric fire, light, good for vision, pungent and astringent.
10. It destroys intestinal worms.
11. When there is insufficient oxygen and difficulty in breathing (such as when mountain climbing) lemons are very helpful. The first man to reach the top of Mt. Everest, Edmund Hillary, said that his success on Mt. Everest was greatly due to lemons.
12. Lemons have powerful antibacterial properties; experiments have found the juice of lemons destroy the bacteria of malaria, cholera, diphtheria, typhoid and other deadly diseases.
13. Blood vessels are strengthened by the vitamin P (bioflavinoids) in lemon thus prevents internal hemorrhage. Also, making it useful in treating high blood pressure.
14. The symptoms of eye disorders, including diabetic retinopathy have been shown in research to improve due to the rutin, found in lemons.
15. Lemons contain 22 anti-cancer compounds, including naturally occurring limonene; oil which slows or halts the growth of cancer tumors in animals and flavonol glycosides which stop cell division in cancer cells.
16. According to The Reams Biological Ionization Theory (RBTI), the lemon is the ONLY food in the world that is anionic (an ion with a negative charge). All other foods are cationic (the ion has a positive charge.) This makes it extremely useful to health as it is the interaction between anions and cations that ultimately provides all cell energy.

Lemons
The way you start each day is incredibly important. Whether
you're a mom, a coach, a writer, a small business owner or a yoga teacher, what
you do first thing in the morning matters.
According to Ayurvedic philosophy, choices that you make
regarding your daily routine either build up resistance to disease or tear it
down.
Start the day out with a mug of warm water and the juice of half
a lemon.
It's so simple and the benefits are just too good to ignore.
Warm water with lemon:
1. Boosts your immune system
Lemons are high in Vitamin C and potassium. Vitamin C is great
for fighting colds and potassium stimulates brain and nerve function and helps
control blood pressure.
2. Balances pH
Lemons are an incredibly alkaline food, believe it or not. Yes,
they are acidic on their own, but inside our bodies they're alkaline (the
citric acid does not create acidity in the body once metabolized). As you
wellness warriors know, an alkaline body is really the key to good health.
3. Helps with weight loss
Lemons are high in pectin fiber, which helps fight hunger
cravings. It also has been shown that people who maintain a more alkaline diet
lose weight faster. And, my experience is that when I start the day off right,
it's easier to make the best choices for myself the rest of the day.
4. Aids digestion
The warm water serves to stimulate the gastrointestinal tract
and peristalsis—the waves of muscle contractions within the intestinal walls
that keep things moving. Lemons and limes are also high in minerals and
vitamins and help loosen ama, or toxins, in the digestive tract.
5. Acts as a gentle, natural diuretic
Lemon juice helps flush out unwanted materials because lemons
increase the rate of urination in the body. Toxins are, therefore, released at
a faster rate which helps keep your urinary tract healthy.
6. Clears skin
The vitamin C helps decrease wrinkles and blemishes. Lemon water
purges toxins from the blood which helps keep skin clear as well.
7. Hydrates the lymph system
This cup of goodness helps start the day on a
hydrated note, which helps prevent dehydration (obviously) and adrenal fatigue. When your body is dehydrated, or deeply dehydrated (adrenal
fatigue) it can't perform all of it's proper functions, which leads to toxic
buildup, stress, constipation, and the list goes on. Your adrenals happen to be
two small glands that sit on top of your kidneys, and along with your thyroid,
create energy. They also secrete important hormones, including aldosterone.
Aldosterone is a hormone secreted by your adrenals that regulates water levels
and the concentration of minerals, like sodium, in your body, helping you stay
hydrated. Your adrenals are also responsible for regulating your stress
response. So, the bottom line is that you really don't want to mess with a deep
state of dehydration!
Adopting just this one practice of drinking a cup of warm water
with lemon in the morning for a month can radically alter your experience of
the day. Don't be surprised if you begin to view mornings in a new light.
The recipe is really simple—a cup of warm (not hot) water and
the juice from half a lemon.

Bangsa Kasihan
Kasihan bangsa yang memakai pakaian yang tidak ditenunnya,
memakan roti dari gandum yang tidak dituainya
dan meminum anggur yang tidak diperasnya
Kasihan bangsa yang menjadikan orang bodoh menjadi pahlawan,
dan menganggap penindasan penjajah sebagai hadiah.
Kasihan bangsa yang meremehkan nafsu dalam mimpi-mimpinya ketika tidur,
sementara menyerah padanya ketika bangun.
Kasihan bangsa yang tidak pernah angkat suara
kecuali jika sedang berjalan di atas kuburan,
tidak sesumbar kecuali di runtuhan,
dan tidak memberontak kecuali ketika lehernya
sudah berada di antara pedang dan landasan.
Kasihan bangsa yang negarawannya serigala,
falsafahnya karung nasi,
dan senimannya tukang tambal dan tukang tiru.
Kasihan bangsa yang menyambut penguasa barunya
dengan trompet kehormatan namun melepasnya dengan cacian,
hanya untuk menyambut penguasa baru lain dengan trompet lagi.
Kasihan bangsa yang orang sucinya dungu
menghitung tahun-tahun berlalu
dan orang kuatnya masih dalam gendongan.
Kasihan bangsa yang berpecah-belah,
dan masing-masing menganggap dirinya sebagai satu bangsa.
oleh Khalil Gibran
