This is something my doctor suggests and him and his wife as well as many of his patients use it regularly. As the best flavonoids are in the peel and kernels, don't just use the juice, but blend the whole lemon into a smoothie. Make sure it's an organic one so the peel is edible. Personally I use a cup of natural organic apple juice with no sugar added to blend it with, so I don't need any sugar, and it tastes great!

dcd, enjoy! 🙂 my doctor explains everything about the peel in detail on his website, how it reduces inflammation and increases detox, but it's in German and too difficult to translate for me 😅

Make sure the peel doesn’t have mold on it. Citrus is very prone to mold, and organic is moldier than conventional.

You could get your own lemon tree. It might take a while to grow lemons, though.

Sounds good in theory but how do you know the 'organic' lemons were not dipped in roundup just like the conventional ones? They sure have that synthetic wax feel to them when I squeeze them in my hand. Or is that natural?
As WalkingByFaith already suggested it's probably best to just grow your own lemon tree if you're going to eat the peel.
