According to Chuck Norris himself, the food that has helped him most over the years is the humble lemon.
But Norris doesn’t just drink lemon water – he harnesses the full power of the peel.
Lemons contain polyphenols, powerful compounds concentrated in the rind. Research shows these polyphenols can aid weight loss by boosting metabolism and preventing fat formation.
The anti-inflammatory effects of lemon bioflavonoids also promote joint health by reducing inflammation. On top of that, lemon peel enhances energy levels through improved blood flow and nutrient absorption.
To get these benefits, Chuck Norris creates citrus-infused water and hot lemon tea using slices with peel intact.
But that’s not his secret to aging well…
Now in his 80s, Chuck Norris credits lemons as part of his daily routine that keeps him feeling decades younger.
He’s so confident in the power of this method that he created a 15-minute video explaining the “Internal Enemies” that threaten health as we age and how to combat them.
