Start your day with this instead of coffee....

I hear so much about Turmeric and have yet to try it. Lemons I love. I wonder if it makes a difference they are usually in my drinks as opposed to warm water?

 

[God]

I suppose for the same reason you feel the need to reply as you do:biggrin2:

Hmmmmmm

Are we reading the same thing here?. There is no need to insult anyone for no reason.

Getting back to the OP's post.

It does have its benefits.

Turmeric is great to add to teas and smoothies. When you do, add a little black pepper or oil, such as coconut oil, as it needs either or, for the body to absorb it
I'm not sure about the warm water in lemon vs just adding a wedge or slice to a drink, something for me to look up, either way I'd think both are good

I usually buy ReaLemon, those little plastic things and learned today they aren't as good as the real thing.
I hate when that happens.

It is a concentrate and so much is lost in the process.

Dried Lemon Zest is a good alternative in cooking

This smoothies sound wonderful and Rai needs all the help he can get!:biggrin2:

Cristy, looking at your figure in the pics it doesn't surprise me you eat well.

How much is lost? I'd be okay if I'm getting 50% of the benefits as long as they are still healthy.

 

[Jasper]

Most lemon peels are tossed without getting the zest part.

They have to add stabilizers to it so it can sit on a shelf.

When you use fresh Lemons and Limes, particularly the ZEST.
You get the natural oils from the fruit. That is what you want.
When you slow boil a Lemon or a lime you not only infuse the juice but also the oils.

7 to 10 minutes is all it takes on a low boil.
1/4 cup of water per fruit.is what you want but that is next to impossible.

I need percentages!
How much is lost when a lemon is concentrated?

For that I suggest you check with the manufacturer.
They are required to provide that research info on request.

Maybe Cristy knows?
I'd rather discuss this with her than with the ReaLemon corporation who would probably lie to keep my business.

When you want facts you should ask those who possess them.

Is there a Consumer Reports article on ReaLemon juice? I trust their partisan fact checking over the guys who are trying to sell a product.

You know Cristy is going to bitch slap you for this one. :biggrin2:
