1. Lemons are abundant in citric acid, vitamin C, and polyphenols, contributing to various health benefits, including reducing fatigue and lowering lipid levels.

2. Lemon polyphenols (LPP), particularly eriocitrin, have been shown to prolong lifespan and delay aging-related symptoms in studies involving mice, suggesting potential anti-aging properties.

3. Lifelong intake of lemon polyphenols positively impacts the intestinal microbiome, helping maintain a healthier gut environment compared to water consumption alone.

4. The antioxidant properties of lemon polyphenols help combat oxidative stress, which is associated with aging and various diseases.

5. Regular consumption of lemon polyphenols may contribute to better cognitive performance and locomotor activity in aging individuals.

6. Studies indicate that lemon polyphenols may play a role in preventing age-related diseases and improving overall health through their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
