Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

So here you are, you take a lemon, cut in half, squeeze it in your water, disregard the

peel from the garbage, and then you drink your lemon water thinking you're getting all these

amazing nutrients. But did you realize that the peel, the white part, which is called the

pith and the seeds, have five times more nutrition than the juice in the pulp? When you hear what I'm

going to talk about, the benefits of using the whole lemon, you will never waste the peel again.

So let me explain. Typically lemons are loaded with vitamin C unless it's pasteurized and you're

for anti-cancer, there are very specific compounds and lemons that can help kill cancer cells,

diet and you're prone to kidney stones, and then the benefit of vitamin C for your immune system

and also how lemon can inhibit collagen destruction. But if you actually consume the white part

of the lemon and the outer peel and the seeds, you're going to get some additional very cool

benefits that I want to educate you on. Now the first thing I want to cover is vitamin C.

Vitamin C deficiency is related to something called scurvy, where you lose your collagen,

your joints, you have a lot of fatigue, and you might say that scurvy doesn't exist now, but I think
