Juicy-sweet oranges, zesty lemons and tangy grapefruit offer those with diabetes many simple and flavorful ways to achieve a well-balanced diet.
They're high in Vitamin C, fiber and antioxidants, provide vital carbohydrates, contain no fat and are listed as a "Nutrition Superstar" in The Diabetes Food & Nutrition Bible by the American Diabetes Association.
Nutritional value: rich in vitamins B and C
Natural therapeutic effects:
anticatarrhal, antiseptic, anti-acid, antifungal, antirash
Lemons and limes are used as a cure for influenza and colds, but they are also a remedy for acidosis (their alkaline content is 5 times greater than their acidic content), heartburn, rheumatism, dysentery, gout, sciatica, lumbago, neuralgia - all diseases which cause the blood to be more acidic.
Because of its high potassium content, lemon juice is useful in dealing with heart weakness. Lemons are a powerful antiseptic and are useful for inflammation of the gums and to tighten loose teeth and render them white and shiny. Lemons destroy germs without destroying body tissue.
Mixed with honey, their juice is a remedy for throat troubles.
Pure lemon juice also cleans the liver and, via the liver, improves eyesight and helps restore muscular powers.
Beneficial in the treatment of:
gastric troubles, asthma, worms, diabetes, piles, catarrh, boils, anemia

The flea can jump 350 times its body length, that is like a human jumping the length of a football field. A cockroach will live nine days without it's head, before it starves to death. The mate praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the males head off. (Sounds like a girl I know now!)
