Lime juice is added to tea for kidney disease.

Potassium in particular can improve blood flow and lower blood pressure.
Which is better, lemon or lime
Both citrus fruits are famous for their high content of vitamin C.
However, lime contains much more, about five times!
Lemon contains a large amount of organic acids, pectin, carotene, vitamins C, E, PP, B.
Lemon improves digestion and stimulates appetite.
How to eat lime correctly
Lime is juicy, refreshing, with a pronounced “sourness.”
It can be eaten just like that, cut into thin slices.
Nevertheless, more often, lime slices, juice and zest are used to decorate and enhance the taste of dessert and main courses, sauces and drinks.
