3 Health of Benefits Sugar-Free Lemon Curd

#1: Supports Weight Loss

There are many reasons to choose dairy from grass-fed cows, from humane animal practices to the nutritional value of the dairy.

Grass-fed dairy is especially high in a nutrient called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).

CLA is a polyunsaturated fat that’s found mainly in grass-fed beef, butter, and a few other animal products[*]. And CLA can be up to 500% higher in grass-fed butter than grain-fed butter.

There are several health benefits associated with CLA, from weight loss to lowering inflammation. Although the exact mechanism is still being studied, scientists believe CLA may impact weight loss by curbing appetite, increasing energy expenditure, and increasing fat cell breakdown[*].

#2: May Help Control Stress

Limonene is a natural compound found in the oils of many citrus fruits, concentrated mainly in the peel. Lemons have an abundance of limonene, which provides many of the health benefits associated with this tart fruit.

Along with its anti-inflammatory activity, limonene may also help your body fight stress. In an animal study, rats that were given limonene and then put under stressful conditions showed fewer signs of stress than the control group.

Researchers determined that limonene has an effect on the central nervous system, specifically helping to boost the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The PNS is sometimes called the “rest and digest” system, as it’s responsible for keeping your body in a state of calm and repair[*].

#3: Boosts Brain Health

Sure, you’re probably not thinking much about brain health when you’re about to dig into a delicious dessert. But this peach lemon curd is packed with exogenous ketones to boost cognitive and physical performance.

The keto diet has been used for decades to treat neurological disorders like epilepsy. Today, researchers are looking at the diet’s effective on neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson and Alzheimer’s.

But even if you’re not suffering from a neurological-related illness, ketones can still benefit your brain.

In an animal study, researchers gave rats ketones and then had them find their way through a maze. The ketone-fed rats not only found their way through the maze with fewer mistakes, but they did it 38% faster than the control rats[*].
