Lemon is basically a potassium fruit. It is low in sodium and can be consumed during an episode of dizziness, nausea, stress, and depression during high blood pressure.
Lemon water helps in eliminating mouth odor problems as well. Researches say that too much lemon can damage the tooth enamel, hence it is advised to gulp the lemon water directly, without holding it for long in your mouth. You can also use a straw to be safe. Moreover, diluted lemon water does not har your teeth to this level. so dont worry.
Lemon is also a diuretic and hence lemon water can help during bloating. It helps to flush out bacteria and toxins from the body.
Diseases like cholera or malaria can be treated with lemon water as it acts as a blood purifier.
If you are overweight you can take a glass of lemon water to start your day with a kick. You can have a cup/half a glass of lemon water, with 1/4th lemon squeezed in it, after each meal and at the end of your day. This will keep your BMR levels high and will help in weight loss. It will also help in reducing bloating and keep your system clean by eliminating the waste of fat breakdown. It also helps in maintaining the glow on your face and prevents facial muscle slag during weight loss.
If you are healthy and in your right weight range then taking lemon water can still be beneficial. You can take 1 to 2 glasses of lemon water everyday for its overall benefits on health.
Health is not about what you eat or drink on one day. It is more about how you form your habits and tips you adapt on a daily basis. The best approach is to enjoy what you do and the longevity of healthy habits.
Researches show that up to 120 ml of lemon juice is safe to consume in a day. 1 lemon has around 30 ml of juice. so you have a good range of intake. I would say you add 1/4th lemon juice in each cup and 1/2 lemon in a glass of lemon water to avail maximum health benefit.
Lemon water has many health benefits when taken in the right amount and when you drink it in the right way. This Humble fruit has nothing to be feared about. so so dont worry and enjoy its benefits. Unless you are allergic to it. All the best! Dont forget to subscribe to our Youtube channel.
