CALCIUM
Calcium is essential for the normal growth of bones and teeth. It helps in healthy functioning of the muscles and the nerves as well as the circulation of the blood. It helps nerve conditions, muscle contraction, blood clotting and membrane permeability. Clinically, it can be used for preventing or treating osteoporosis in post-menopausal women, reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients and gives possible protection against colon cancer. The association of citric acid and calcium is very positive.

IRON
Iron is indispensable for all living creatures. Iron is an essential mineral necessary for many important metabolic functions in the body. It is part of haemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying component of the blood. Iron not attached to the haemoglobin in red blood cells is stored in the liver, bone marrow, spleen, and muscles. It has an important relation to the cycle of citric acid (lemon). The most important reason to take iron as a supplement is to alleviate anaemia that is caused by too little iron in the body. People who are deficient in iron are usually pale, have poor circulation, suffer vertigo, melancholia, and have difficulty in concentration.

MANGANESE
Manganese is an indispensable element as it is a regenerator of carbohydrates, cholesterol, iron and copper. It plays an important part in the skeletal and genital glands development. Essential for all reactions that require adenosine triphosphate (the energy currency of the body cells) it regulates all muscle contractions. It is used in the prevention or treatment of many types of heart disease, it enhances bone formation in sufferers of osteoporosis and improves lung function in asthmatics.

ZINC
Zinc helps with the growth of the body and the skeleton, the regeneration of the skin and the hair cells and activates the scaling process. It also plays an important part in the metabolism of the albumin and assures the normal secretion of insulin. The amount of zinc present in the body is often on the low side, and this can be balanced with grade C maple syrup.

POTASSIUM
The most important functions of potassium are the transmission of nerve impulses, control of skeletal muscle and maintenance of blood pressure. It is essential for protein synthesis and the storage of glycogen. It is used for the prevention and treatment of high blood pressure, diseases associated with malnutrition, gastrointestinal disorders and alkalosis.

Apart from its high and valuable content of mineral salts, vitamins and enzymes, Natural Tree Syrup supplies the body with a high degree of carbohydrates, which are easily assimilated.

CARBOHYDRATES: FRUCTOSE AND GLUCOSE
These constitute an immediate source of energy for the body. The high levels of fructose and glucose in the Natural Tree Syrup ensure the necessary support to the body, in particular the nervous system and the brain cells, which essentially depend on glucose as a source of energy.

The Lemon Detox Diet does not produce negative effects such as fatigue, nervousness or lack of energy, which often occurs in weight-loss diets that are low in carbohydrates and trace elements. Healthy people do not notice any fatigue or nervousness during the treatment, maintaining a good physical capacity and feelings of perfect well-being.

The reduction of fatty deposits in the body is a desirable side effect of the program. The glucose content of the Natural Tree Syrup and the vitamin C of the lemon protect the liver where numerous vital metabolic reactions are carried out. And detoxification of the liver is speeded up through the treatment. The relationship between the intestines and the liver plays an important part, which is why the daily cleansing of the intestines is absolutely necessary during The Lemon Detox Diet.

Palm and maple saps are practically the only sweeteners that are 100% natural; the trees are not cultivated by man, and grow without human intervention, fertilizers are not used, nor are any other methods of modern cultivation employed. They are the only trees in the world to be unharmed by the harvesting of their precious sap.

Some Comments about White Sugar
White sugar, refined and industrialized, is almost completely lacking in energy when it arrives at our table. As the vitamin and mineral content is 0%, the body needs substances such as calcium, Group B vitamins and proteins in order to absorb it.

Because of this, it is recommended that refined sugar be replaced by natural sweeteners, which not only do not drain the body of basic substances, but provide minerals, vitamins and enzymes.

An excess of refined and artificial foods could be easily avoided with a more conscious healthy diet. White sugar causes damage to teeth, intestines and bones.
