Lemon, the best medicine.

By Charlotte Yayra ADZANU
A cleansed body is a clean blood and a healthy life but accumulation of waste in the body, pollutes the mind, the blood and even the soul and spirit.
Staying days without visiting the washroom can result in constipation which is the root of many sicknesses today. Anyone who doesn’t take juice lemon is at higher risk of having constipation.

Just as old Ghanaian ladies knew lemon only for polishing buckets and cooking utensils, so today many are using it to cleanse and polish their bodies.
There are many valuable nutrients in lemon, including vitamin A, C and D. Calcium, phosphorus, sulphur and iron are also found in lemon.
Lemon is a wonderful stimulant to the liver and is a dissolvent of uric acid and other poisons, liquefies the bile, and is very good in cases of malaria. It cleanses the body, provides it with a swealth of vitamins, minerals, and improves its acid alkali pH balance.

Drinking lemon juice nourishes the brain and nerve cells, building up the bony structure and enhancing healthy teeth as it contains potassium.
Lemon juice is very good for treating common colds and flu, it is also helpful in dealing with scarlet fever, and chest infections of all kinds. People who suffer chronic rheumatism will benefit by taking lemon juice.
When lemon juice is taken during pregnancy, it helps build bone in the child due to its calcium elements.

It helps treat and prevent heartburns and also helps with indigestion. Lemon juice can be used to treat intestinal bacteria, constipation, upset stomach, and bloating as well.
Lemon juice is more effective when taken with honey and warm water. Dilute the lemon juice with a half glass of warm water , add two teaspoonful of honey and sip slowly first thing each morning and last thing each night before going to bed. This is the best way to use lemon and appreciate its effectiveness.

Fitch Solutions retains 2025 growth rate projection at 4.2%

 Fitch Solutions has reaffirmed its projection that Ghana’s economy will expand by 4.2% in 2025. This estimate slightly exceeds the International Monetary Fund’s forecast of 4% and the World Bank’s projection of 3.9%. The UK-based research firm attributes its outlook to historically high gold prices, which are expected to cushion the Ghanaian economy against a global slowdown triggered by rising tariffs. Higher gold prices are anticipated to strengthen government revenue, enhance foreign exchange earnings, and help sustain currency stability. The report also highlights that Ghana is relatively less vulnerable to increasing trade restrictions from the United States, given that its primary exports—gold and crude oil—are not directly affected by the tariffs introduced by President Trump’s administration. Moreover, the US constitutes only about 4% to 5% of Ghana’s total exports. In contrast, Ghana’s trade relations are more heavily oriented toward China and European countries, particul...

BoG injects $20m into FX market to support 11 BDCs

  The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has injected $20 million into the foreign exchange market in the latest round of its forward FX auction targeted at Bulk Oil Distribution Companies (BDCs). The intervention, which benefited eleven BDCs, is part of the central bank’s broader strategy to stabilise the cedi and ensure price stability in the petroleum downstream sector. Held on Tuesday, April 29, the auction was priced at a locked exchange rate of GHS 14.28 to the US dollar, with bid offers ranging from GHS 13.85 to GHS 15.55. This move reflects the BoG’s continued effort to deepen forex liquidity and safeguard the domestic fuel supply chain against volatility in global energy markets. By directly supplying FX to BDCs, the central bank seeks to ease pressure on the interbank market, guarantee the uninterrupted flow of petroleum products, and mitigate the pass-through effects of exchange rate fluctuations on fuel prices. The $20 million disbursement forms part of a $120 million programme for th...
