As everyone knows, lemonade is also a favorite drink for many women, because lemons can promote metabolism, delay aging, and enhance the body’s resistance. In addition to the effect of strengthening the body, lemon is also a food with very high beauty value. Its whitening effect is quite significant. Moreover, its unique fruit acid composition can soften the stratum corneum and make our skin look white and shiny.
We all know that citric acid has the effect of preventing and eliminating skin pigmentation. Lemon balm, moisturizer and shampoo all need it. Girls usually love to make up, but often use some cosmetics containing lead, which is harmful to skin health over time, and it is easy to form pigment spots on the skin to affect the appearance. The use of lemon type moisturizer or cream can effectively destroy the chemical reaction of lead on the skin, so as to keep the skin smooth and tender.
how to brew lemonade
The lemonade must be light. A piece of lemon with a skin can pour 3-4 cups of water. This kind of lemonade does not have a strong sour taste. It can be drunk without sugar or honey, so it contains less energy. Lemon must be peeled and sliced thin, because the part of the skin contains higher flavonoids, which may be more worth soaking than the lemon pulp. Lemon essential oil is also mainly in the skin. If it is thinly cut, the aroma components in the lemon skin are easy to bubble out. Lemon peel, including other citrus peel, contains some bitter flavonoid substances, such as hesperidin and naringin, but they are also beneficial ingredients. It has a slight bitter taste, which matches with the sour taste. It will quench your thirst when you drink it in hot weather.
Some people say that lemons can’t be soaked in hot water, for fear of losing vitamin C. In fact, the water used for making lemons should not be too cold, otherwise the fragrance will not come out. It’s easy to solve this problem. Just let the lemonade cool a little before drinking it.
Some people have heard that lemonade can whiten, but others have heard that lemonade is a “photosensitive food”, and they are worried that after drinking lemonade during the day, their skin will become spots and black. However, this statement is only limited to online rumors, and we have not seen relevant research evidence. There is even information on the Internet that vitamin C is a photosensitive substance. If this is the case, all fruits and vegetables contain vitamin C. It seems that people can’t eat any fruits and vegetables during the day. Obviously, it is very absurd. From the scientific point of view, the main photosensitive substances in food include chlorophyll, riboflavin and heme. If you eat photosensitive substances, you will grow spots. First of all, you can’t eat red meat (more heme), milk (more riboflavin), green leafy vegetables and kiwifruit (with chlorophyll). It seems that you can only eat grain during the day.
