10. As a preventive for vegetables turning brown
Vegetables like cauliflower tend to turn brown in a little heat. In order to prevent this, squeeze half a lemon in the cooking water to keep it its original colour.
11. As a fight against aging
While we spend a bomb on cosmetics and visit expensive salons to keep aging at bay, the results are never satisfactory. Besides, there is always the risk of side-effects. Lemons can aid in solving these problems without burning a hole in your pocket. Juice from freshly cut lemon when applied to affected areas, helps reducing pigmentation, blemishes and slowly lightens them over time. Several dermatologists swear by its magical properties.
12. As a nail and teeth whitener
Lemon juice is helpful in cleansing your nails and teeth. Soak your finger nails in hot water with a few drops of lemon juice added to it. This not only fixes yellowing but also strengthens brittle nails and prevents them from chipping. You can also use a paste of baking soda and fresh lemon juice or lemon peels to clean and whiten teeth over time. Lemon juice also helps in freshening the breath.
