lemons vs. limes

[JMD]

Hi all,

I blend lemon ususally with parsley or cilantro, cukes and avocado for a yummy dressing for my salad. Lately, I have been desiring some lime instead. I was wondering if limes have the same detoxing benefits?? And can one OD on lemon/lime juice since they are pretty cleansing. The most I would use is a small whole lemon in my dressing once or twice a day.

Thanks in advance..

I was wondering if limes have the same detoxing benefits?? The swami I learned reflexology from taught me that limes are very good for alkalizing and cleansing the body, and are a bit more gentle than lemons, so he preferred them. And he recommended adding a squeeze of lime to your regular drinking water for that very reason. I just made a big bottle of lime water to take with me to an all day meeting tomorrow. :)

Thanks..I do taste a milder flavor.....and I do not get as shaky for some reason when I have the limes. I knew you may have known:)
