Citrus Fruit: Lime
Lime is called dayap in Pilipino (Filipino).
This green citrus fruit is sweeter than the more popular lemon. Another positive side to a lime is that it is seedless. It is therefore more practical to use than lemon.
Like many citrus fruits, lime is rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, folic acid, calcium, phosphorus, potassium and bioflavonoids. It is a natural cleanser and protects you from many infections. It deeply cleanses the digestive system and protects you from infection while you are in a diet.
Half a lime a day squeezed into a bottle of water could be sipped throughout the day and would be a potent cleanser as well as a hydrator.
