Health Notes with Dr. Liz

Zest for Good Health

Smelling a freshly cut lemon invigorates both mind and body (and for some people even triggers them to salivate!) We enjoy the fragrance so much we use lemon-scented cleaners, candles and more. So you lemon lovers can rejoice: The very same compound that gives lemons their fragrance and pucker also provides a myriad of health benefits.

Limonene, found in the peel (also know as “zest”) and juice, is a strong antioxidant. Studies show that limonene helps protect artery walls from damage caused by “runaway” LDL cholesterol that can lead to heart disease. Limonene also shows promise as an anti-cancer agent explaining why people who eat lemons and other citrus have lower risk for some cancers.

So when life gives you lemons, besides making lemonade, try my top five ways to use lemon zest and juice:

• Add lemon juice and zest to BBQ sauce for a new zing.
• Mix juice and zest into vanilla yogurt for a fruit dip.
• Sprinkle chopped chives, zest and lemon juice over steamed summer squash.
• Float slices of whole lemon (rinsed well) in ice water or iced green tea.
• Toss fruit salad with lemon juice and a sprinkle of zest (helps prevent browning of fruit and livens flavor.)
