THE LEMON IS BOTH a small evergreen tree native to Asia and the tree's oval yellow fruit. Many lemon-flavored drinks and candies are available, including lemonade and lemonheads. However, the Lime is a term referring to a number of different fruits, both species and hybrids, citruses, which are typically round, green to yellow in color, 3–6 cm in diameter, and containing sour and acidic pulp.
The first real lemon cultivation in Europe began in Genoa in the middle of the fifteenth century. It was later introduced to the Americas in 1493 when Christopher Columbus brought lemon seeds to Hispaniola along his voyages. Spanish conquest throughout the New World helped spread lemon seeds. It was mainly used as ornament and medicine. In 1700s and late 1800s, lemons were increasingly planted in Florida and California when lemons began to be used in cooking and flavoring.
Heart Health
Lemon juice, because it contains potassium, can help to control high blood pressure, dizziness, nausea as provides relaxation to mind and body. It reduces mental stress and depression. Raw, extracted lemon juice is rich in vitamin P, a helpful nutrient found in many citrus fruits. Vitamin P is responsible for helping the body absorb Vitamin C, and also, it has a vital role in the condition of our blood. Vitamin P benefits capillary health and helps prevent capillary bleeding. It can be found in both the juice and the peel, and it is vital for controlling hemorrhage in a variety of medical conditions.
Cancer Protection
Lemons and limes contain flavonoid compounds that have antioxidant and anti-cancer components. One of these is the flavonoid called flavonol glycosides, along with many kaempferol-related molecules. They have been shown to stop cell division in many cancer cell lines, and they provide antibiotic effects. In several villages in West Africa where cholera epidemics had occurred, the inclusion of lime juice during the main meal of the day was determined to have been protective against the contraction of cholera. Studies have shown that cell cycles-including the decision a cell makes about whether or not to divide (called mitosis) or die (apoptosis-are altered by lime juice), as are the activities of special immune cells called monocytes. As a great source of vitamin C, it neutralizes any free radicals with which it comes into contact with.

The word of the LORD came again to Zechariah: “This is what the LORD Almighty said: ‘Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor. Do not plot evil against each other’ (Zech 7:8-10).

Lime Time
 
The exact origin of the lemon has remained a mystery, though it is widely presumed that lemons first grew in India, northern Burma, and China. In South and South East Asia, it was known for its antiseptic properties and it was used as an antidote for various poisons. Lemons entered Europe (near southern Italy) no later than the first century AD, during the time of Ancient Rome.
However, they were not widely cultivated. It was later introduced to Persia and then to Iraq and Egypt around AD 700. The lemon was first recorded in literature in a tenth century Arabic treatise on farming, and was also used as an ornamental plant in early Islamic gardens. It was distributed widely throughout the Arab world and the Mediterranean region between AD 1000 and AD 1150. The genetic origin of the lemon, however, was reported to be hybrid between sour orange and citron. |
