30. Diabetes Management
Throwing a lemon peel into your glass of lemon water is a good idea if you are diabetic or even if you are not diabetic and simply want to keep your blood sugars in check.
The compounds that are found in the peel of a lemon will reduce glucose levels in several areas of the body including the nerves, eyes, and parts of the kidney.
Each of these areas is susceptible to damage caused by diabetes. This means that the compounds from the lemon peel may reduce diabetic complications and improve your health in general.
