I have a lot of health questions. Could you help me please??? Thanks!
1) Is it true that black pepper boosts your metabolism?
2)Is lemons in water a natural dieretic? And what is a dieretic?
Thank you!!!!!!! And is there any other type of homemade laxative or something? Thanks!

no pepper dosnt help boost ur metabolism. it is ment to just flavior ur food. black pepper is made from the east india plant with the same name. a lemon is not a natural dieretic. a dieretic is a drug to rid the body of excess water. but it can also make u feel weak, if to much water or a higher dose is taken. i would suggest, bulk foods like, mini-wheats, rasin bran, peanuts, etc. be careful of laxative, homemade or over the counter for they can be habit forming. god bless

no. hot red peeper does, it boost your metabolism but you have to workout. 2/ when you put lemons in water you are drinking power full antioxidant that help protect you from colds and maybe a diuretic, if you want diuretic drink coffee. 3/ yes there is prune juice it works wonder without affecting your immune system
