When life hands you lemons, put them on your face!

Choosing just one of the six feature categories to talk about was a struggle. I’m sort of a knowledge “mutt” since I’m interested in a variety of topics, but after stressful flipping multiple coins and name-pickings out of a hat, I've decided to talk about a hybrid mix of the “food” and “health” categories since the ideas do overlap each other (I hope I don’t get marked down for this from my professor). These specific ideas that I chose to talk about are things that I already do because I don’t feel it’s ethical if I were to write stories or articles that give advice, yet I don’t take the advice myself or if I do the complete opposite.

The first idea would be about the benefits of using lemons on our faces: decreasing the amount of pimples and blackheads, brightening of the skin, and other positive effects with lemon juice by itself or being combined with other vitamin-rich foods. There is a lot of information and positive feedback about lemons being used for these treatments, giving credibility to this story, as well as my own personal experience of sleeping with a lemony-scent on my face at night. The downside for this story is that since there are multiple resources and stories that already back up this idea it would be hard to talk about it in a unique angle, as well as not having to pertain to those who have that “nice, smooth, silky skin” naturally. Also, it might not appeal to people because they’re just not interested in this.

The next idea isn't necessarily food, but we do consume it, and it’s the benefits of drinking water. It might sound obvious, but there are a lot more benefits that come with drinking water than we think there are such as weight loss, helping the joints, helps productivity and performance at work and school just to name a few. The whole “tap vs. filtered water” is probably the biggest con on this topic. Other than that and that it might be difficult to talk about in a unique angle since there is a lot of research about it and again, the topic might not be appealing to people.
