We all may drink lemon water and find it somehow useful; here are some of things that you can gain by drinking water with a piece of lemon in it. 1.Helps digestion. If you drink a cup of lemon water on an empty stomach in the morning that would ease bloating, gas and constipation. Lemon contains minerals that promote healthy digestion, alleviate heartburn, and stimulate healthy bowel function by reducing bloat and stimulating bowel movements 2. Promotes Weight Loss. Some evidence suggests lemon water may help shed those stubborn pounds. The tart citrus flavor makes lemon water more refreshing and easier to drink than plain water, and this could encourage people to drink more fluids. It also curbs the appetite, hydrates, and helps prevent binges on sugary sweets. 3. Boosts Immune function. The abundance of vitamin C in lemon provides a powerful immune boost and increases electrolytes to help support the immune system when the body is fighting off infection or illness. Lemons also contain bioflavonoids, which fight free radicals that can cause inflammation and blood vessel damage. Add lemon juice, honey, and ginger root to a cup of hot water for a potent immune-enhancing drink. 4. Freshens Breath Bacteria or lingering food particles can cause bad breath. Lemon water can help alleviate many causes of bad breath by neutralizing the odor from foods like onion and garlic. It also stimulates saliva production, which helps flush the mouth of food and bacteria. Dry mouth can also cause bad breath, so staying hydrated with lemon water can prevent this issue. 5. Lowers blood pressure Lemon is an excellent source of potassium, a mineral that can regulate blood pressure and maintain heart health, factors that reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, anxiety, and depression. Potassium deficiency can cause abnormal heartbeat, palpitations, anemia, and headaches. Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables is the best way to get enough potassium, but lemon water can increase the quantity of this mineral without extra calories. 6. Treats Gallstones The citric acid in lemon juice can help treat gallstones, calcium deposits, and kidney stones. For centuries, people have used a gallbladder flush made from lemon juice and olive oil. This method involves fasting for 12 hours then drinking 4 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice eight times every 15 minutes. While lemon juice shouldn't take the place of medical attention in these instances, it could serve as a supplementary treatment. 7- Supports detoxification. Lemon water may support liver detoxification by activating digestive enzymes in the liver. Additionally, it may also be effective at lowering blood and liver cholesterol as shown in an in-vivo study.
