Have you ever heard someone saying:'what a sour face she/he has? Actually the same face many of us have while eating lemon... it is not tasty at all.However, very beneficial to our health.

First of all,if you put some lemon in the fridge, it will reduce bad smell.

Second, lemon can help you as an excellent cleaner. Using natural lemon juice (half lemon (juice)/ two cups of water) you can easily clean your carpet, reduce bad smell, it works as antibacterial stuff.

Third, lemon can work as an original way of cleaning your teeth (especially if you smoke or drink alcoholic drinks, black tea,etc.). Just 'brush' your teeth with a slice of lemon (it is also very useful for travelers).

Fourth, it is said that lemon is helpful for freckled people who really want to get rid of freckles. You have to keep a piece of cotton (or cloth) for a while (few seconds) in natural lemon juice and then keep it on the freckled part of a body for ten fifteen minutes. Then wash it up using tepid water (and soap).

Fifth, lemon is a very good thing to use while drinking strong drinks (such as whisky, vodka, etc.). In that case lemon helps as a means of reducing strong taste.

So, lemon is very beneficial to our health. However, we should use it rationally...
