  Lemons are high in vitamin C (Ascorbic acid), which is great for fighting colds. They’re high in potassium, which stimulates brain and nerve function. Lemons also contain saponins, which show antimicrobial properties that may help keep cold and flu at bay. Lemons also reduce the amount of phlegm produced by the body.
