Vitamin C Water (it's that time of the year)

The benefits of Vitamin C are phenomenal

1. Lemons and limes are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, which may help aid in digestion, respiration and the prevention of cancer. (or so says Lance Armstrong's organization livestrong.com) 

2.  According to Juicing for Health, citrus fruits are somewhat similar to digestive enzymes. Adding them to a warm glass of water can promote better digestion and relieve common symptoms of digestive conditions, such as heartburn, indigestion, gas, bloating, loss of appetite, vomiting and constipation.  
 
Very appropriate since my last post was hot sauce 

4.  The vitamins and nutrients in these citrus fruits may be of benefit in treating symptoms associated with the common cold or flu, including cough and sore throat. 
 
So during the fall I like to keep some citrus water in the fridge because  A.  Lance Armstrong made it through cancer, and  B.  I need to use the spearmint from my garden. (Both fine reasons)
 

One grapefruit, one lemon, one lime and one orange with some mint! 
No gas or flu....SCORE
