Eliminating these harmful toxins helps in detoxifying the body and reducing stress at a metabolic level (15). Certain citrus bioflavonoids are also helpful in reducing oxidative stress, which, if left untreated, can cause cancer.
An experimental study conducted on rats has found that limonene which is found in lemon peel accelerates enzyme activity and mucous production, which, in turn, reduces the oxidative stress associated with tissue damage.
