Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Lime

  • Metabolic Effect: Lime strengthens the immune system thanks to its vitamin C content and has antioxidant properties. It facilitates digestion and helps reduce stomach ailments.
  • Consumption Recommendation: It can be used to add flavor to salads, drinks and meals. It goes very well with seafood and chicken dishes in particular, and can also be consumed by adding it to water throughout the day.
  • Things to Consider: Excessive consumption may cause heartburn. One lime juice meets a significant portion of the daily vitamin C requirement, so it is important to consume it in a balanced way.
  • Exercise Equivalent: It is enough to take a light-paced walk for about 5-10 minutes to burn the calories from one lime. This can be easily compensated with daily activities.
