Let’s talk about lemon juice and how to avoid common mistakes when consuming it. It’s important to avoid pasteurized lemon juice because the heat used can destroy some of the benefits. Instead, consume lemon juice squeezed from organic lemons or blend whole organic lemons. Top potential benefits of lemons and limes: • They can help reduce kidney stones • They’re high in vitamin C and may help reduce the symptoms of vitamin C deficiency and scurvy • They have an antihistamine effect • They have anti-fungal properties • They can help reduce uric acid • They can help increase iron absorption Top mistakes people make when consuming lemon juice: 1. Drinking it right before a meal What to do: • Consume lemon water at least a half hour before you eat. 2. Not diluting it with water and not using a straw What to do: • Dilute your lemon juice with water and drink it through a straw. 3. Drinking it if you have an ulcer or gastritis What to do: • Lemon water will cause a burning sensation in this situation. Avoid anything acidic if you have an ulcer or inflammation in the stomach. 4. Drinking it if you have alkalosis What to do: • Lemon juice can worsen the symptoms of alkalosis and should be avoided in this situation.

XXX Tech by SOVRYN Dr. Brian Sovryn The crossroads between technology, sensuality, and metaphysics - and the longest running anarchist podcast in the world! Brought to you by Dr. Brian Sovryn. Al-Quran In English Dr. Soha The complete Quran translation in English, Narrated by Dr. Soha. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
