A William Paterson University study reveals lemons as the healthiest fruit, surpassing apples and bananas. Lemons boast high vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, boosting immunity and aiding digestion. Despite their acidity, lemons alkalinize the body upon metabolism. Researchers recommend incorporating lemon juice diluted in water into your diet, avoiding undiluted consumption on an empty stomach. Limes offer similar benefits but with slightly fewer flavonoids than lemons.
