Survivalist Tip: In keeping with my combating allergies theme, I suggest adding lemons to your stockpile of food stuffs. People often mix lemon juice with honey and tea to help fight a colds, flues and nasal and chest congestion. But, even by themselves, lemons are a healthy food item. They contain unique flavonoid compounds that have antioxidants and anti-cancer properties. The main element is flavonol glycoside, which has been shown to stop cell division in many cancer cell lines. These same flavonoids help boost the immune system. Lemons are also a good source of Vitamin C, which (as I’ve discussed before) is one of the most important antioxidants in nature. Although it has a rather strong taste and is bad for teeth enamel, lemon juice (when mixed with water) helps to cleanse the body of dangerous free radicals (which can damage the body’s cell structure) and reduce fevers (which can ruin a really good day).
Lemon juice is also effective against malaria, cholera, diphtheria, typhoid and the heartbreak of psoriasis when it’s mixed with water. With so many people likely to be mobile at the start of the new Baktun – either scrambling to safety, or trying to find abandoned chocolate bars – these ailments could be all around you. On top of all that, a well-aimed lemon half can take out the eyes of an intruder or an unruly child.
