I have been using lemon juice for detoxification going on two years.
It has become an essential part of my everyday diet.
I credit lemon with helping me feel good and fight disease-but I have also noticed a profound effect of its juice in the health of my skin.
I really did not start experimenting with detoxification programs to look good.
I wanted to feel good.
I wanted to be able to avoid coming down with the flu 2 or 3 times a year.
I wanted a life free of colds and sore throat, and I wanted to have steady energy all the time.
I achieved all this after just a very short detox with lemon juice.
In fact, you can begin to detoxify your body in just 24 hours.
But why should detoxification make a difference to your skin? The reason my lemon juice detoxification plan is so helpful for so many skin conditions is that it fights inflammation.
Inflammation is the enemy of healthy skin.
Inflammatory hormones don't just cause the obvious redness, dryness, itching, and pain we associate with skin conditions like acne, eczema, contact dermatitis, and skin infections.
Inflammatory hormones also reduce circulation to the skin.
This means bruises take forever to clear up, the skin gets dry and flaky, or it wrinkles.
In addition, to ensure, good nutrition, it is better to get most of your calories from grains, legumes, vegetables, seeds, and nuts, which also provide essential and non-essential fatty acids.
Let's review the lemon juice diet principles,

1. First of all, lemon juice cancels out many of the effects of bad diet.
   If you just get your lemon juice every day, you can gradually pay attention to other aspects of your diet and still make fast progress.
   
2. Second, avoid processed and prepackaged foods as much as you can.
   These foods manipulate sugar, salt, and fat, especially when combined with white bread, bloody beef, and cheese, into addictive combinations.
   High-fructose corn syrup, MSG, and caffeine intensify the addictive effect.
   
3. Third, don't eat meat.
   Especially in North America, Australia, and Argentina, modern diets provide as much as 15 times more protein than the body can use.
   All that excess protein is broken down into urea and glucose.
   The sugar released from excess amino acids in turn contributes to high blood sugar and weight gain.
   Even worse, animal proteins provide that protein with excessive fat.
   
4. Fourth, keep your diet alkaline.
   Lemon juice every day creates a healthy alkaline environment inside your body.
   Diets that are high in meat and dairy form create an acidic environment inside the body.
   The acidification caused by excessive consumption of dairy products leaches calcium out of bones even faster than products can cheese can provide calcium to be put back in.
   

Now it's time for some good news.
It's not difficult or complicated to eat in a healthy way, it is not difficult to lose one to two pounds a week, reach your optimum weight, and maintain that weight for decades.
And over the course of a few weeks, you will also achieve naturally radiant, beautiful skin.
Your first step is to choose the right foods, starting with the lemon juice diet.
But you can use lemon not just in your diet but also directly on your skin.
Lemon juice should become as basic to your skin care routine as soap and water.
