Here’s an idea: add flavor—not sodium—to your next meal by swapping out salt for lemons. We call it going “S’alternative®.” It’s as tasty as it is healthy, not to mention super easy.
Plus, it’s backed by research from master chefs over at Johnson & Wales University (no big deal). By opting for fresh lemon juice and zest in place of some salt, you can cut as much as 75% of sodium from all sorts of recipes, without losing flavor. Nutritional win.
Ready to live that S’alternative® life? Here’s a cheat sheet to get you started.
But wait, there’s more. A lot more. From heart health to skin care, there’s almost no end to the benefits citrus brings to the table.*
Citrus is a major source of flavonoids. Also known as antioxidants. Also known as the things that keep your cells from getting damaged. Along with having a fancy name, the flavonoids found in citrus may also provide benefits for brain health.*
It’s been said that vitamin C could play a role in reducing the risk of heart disease. And what do you know, citrus is loaded with that very vitamin. Many oranges and grapefruit varieties also contain fiber (another heart-healthy nutrient). Love that.*
Oranges are a good source of folate, a nutrient that’s super important during pregnancy because it promotes cell growth. Really gives “mother nature” a whole new meaning.*
When in doubt, reach for a Cara Cara orange or grapefruit. Both offer vitamins A and C, which support the immune system and could keep you from breaking out the cough drops and tissues.*
All that vitamin C also comes in handy (quite literally) for your skin. Why? Because vitamin C promotes the production of collagen, helping to give skin elasticity and strength.*
