Staying hydrated and eating healthy is important while fasting. One of the ways to do it is having healthy drinks and juice. Mosambi or sweet lime juice is a favourite among those fasting as it tastes delicious and has the essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fibre and water content. It also has citric acid which helps you feel full.

In addition to this, the fruit also helps in aiding digestion, lowering risk of cancer and boost your skin health. Lovneet Batra recently talked about the wonderful benefits of sweet lime in her recent Instagram post.

Take a look:

Promotes healthy skin: Mosambi is high in vitamin C and this vitamin is necessary to make collagen, a protein that keeps your skin firm and strong. Moreover, limes are high in antioxidants, which may help combat age-related skin changes.

Lowers the risk of cancer: Mosambi contains compounds called limonoids that have been linked to a lower risk of certain cancers.

Aids digestion: Mosambi features a high-content value of flavonoids which energises the digestive tract by increasing secretion of digestive juices, acids and bile. Therefore, it helps with digestion simply by neutralising the acidic digestive juices made by the stomach and eliminates toxins through the excretory system.
