lemon peel benefits and side effects - #19373
I am trying to figure out if I should start using lemon peel in my daily routine because I've heard about the lemon peel benefits but also some concerning lemon peel side effects. A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon this article that talked about how lemon peel can help with digestion and improve skin health, which really caught my attention since I've been dealing with some digestive issues lately. I thought, “Hey, maybe lemon peel can sort me out!” But then I found another post mentioning that lemon peel might cause allergic reactions in some people or even interact badly with medications. Like, I don’t even know how that works! I mean, how could something as simple as lemon peel be harmful? My cousin was saying that she uses just the zest for her smoothies and feels great but never mentioned the lemon peel side effects. I guess I’m worried that while I could get some lemon peel benefits in my diet, I might also be setting myself up for trouble if I don’t know what to look out for. Do any of you all have personal experiences with lemon peel benefits and side effects? Should I just go for it and try adding it to my diet, or is it better to be cautious? Thanks guys!
