What makes Lemon Water so healthy?

Lemons are packed with vitamin C and also contain flavonoids, B vitamins, iron, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, potassium and fiber.



What is lemon water?

Lukewarm water with lemon squeezed out. You can determine the ratio yourself. If you have never tried it, start with a tablespoon on 1 glass of water and build it up if you do not suffer from your stomach. My ratio is ½ lemon on 1 glass of water.

All the advantages of lemon at a glance:

Lemon helps our body detoxify

Vitamin C and flavonoids help detoxify our body. These substances promote the dissolution of kidney and gallstones, detoxify our liver and cleanse our blood. With their detoxifying effect, Vitamin C and flavonoids support our intestines, liver, kidneys and gallbladder. These organs are responsible for eliminating waste and toxic substances from our body.

Lemon cleans our intestines and stimulates our digestion

Lemon juice is a strong disinfectant. It stimulates the functioning of our intestines and promotes regular bowel movements with good intestinal cleansing as a result. Our entire digestion is also stimulated, resulting in a less inflated stomach and less discomfort of heartburn.

Lemon helps prevent rheumatism and gout

Lemon juice neutralizes uric acid and helps our kidneys and intestines to drain it. Too much uric acid can cause inflammation in the joints.

Lemon keeps our blood pressure normal and our blood vessels healthy

Because of the large amount of potassium, lemon prevents the sodium-potassium balance in our body from being disrupted. Lemon supports the functioning of our heart, lowers blood pressure and strengthens the blood vessels.

Lemon strengthens our immune system

Vitamin C stimulates our body to produce white blood cells and strengthens our immune system. Under the influence of lemon, our immune system immediately works to combat pathogens (such as viruses that cause flu and colds).
Studies have shown that lemon juice kills even worms in the intestines and destroys some bacteria.

Lemon helps to refresh the breath

Our oral cavity is the largest source of bacteria that causes an unsavory breath. Lemons have a destructive effect on bacteria. That ensures a fresh breath.

Lemon slows the aging process

The vitamin C in lemons neutralizes free radicals. These are harmful particles that cause aging and various diseases. In lemon peel there are also substances that are beneficial for eye and brain ailments. Lemons help with oxygen deficiency and contain many anti-cancer substances.

Lemon makes the skin shine

The daily use of lemon water helps keep our skin healthy and prevents the appearance of wrinkles.

Lemon helps to keep the blood sugar level in balance

Lemons contain a lot of pectin. These dietary fibers help to stabilize the blood sugar level and to increase the feeling of satisfaction, which reduces your (excessive) appetite.

Lemon helps to maintain or restore the acid-base balance

The acid-base balance stands for the balance between alkaline and acidifying food. Our modern diet consists largely of foods that are acidifying. These foods allow the acid content in our body to rise above normal and disturb the balance. If our body is acidified, it becomes attractive for the pathogenic organisms, such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, yeasts and parasites. That can cause illness and inflammation in our body.
Although lemons taste sour, they basically react in our bodies. There are few foods that produce so many bases. If you drink a large glass of lemon water every morning, you prevent the balance from being disturbed.

Lemon water as the most fantastic start of the day!

If you have become enthusiastic about all the above advantages of lemons, you have more than enough reasons to take a large glass of lemon water daily.
If you do not suffer from your stomach, it is best to do so on an empty stomach. This ensures the most fantastic start of the day!

How do you solve that if you have a sensitive stomach

If you have a sensitive stomach, you can also do this later in the day and dilute the juice extra, for example squeezing a quarter of a lemon in a large pot of water. Slow building is also an alternative. Start with a few drops in your glass of water and build it up with an extra drop every day. To soften it even more, you can add pure honey. Then you will get less problems with your stomach.

Why do some people become sick of lemon water?

The answer is very simple. At the beginning of this blog I told that lemons and lemon water promote the dissolving of gallstones and detoxify the liver. The nausea is a sign that your liver and your gallbladder are overloaded. To help them detoxify quickly, you can use Mariadistel in addition to the lemon water. These are herbal capsules that promote liver cleansing. Your nausea will then quickly decrease and disappear.

Tooth enamel

Lemon water does not affect your tooth enamel. It is therefore not necessary to drink it with a straw. Unless you add sugar to your lemon water. Sugar feeds the bacteria in the mouth that can affect your tooth enamel. The bacteria break down sugars in our food and form acids that dissolve the hard tooth enamel. Because lemons are sour in taste, they are quick to think that they have the same effect, but nothing is less true. Lemons help to destroy those bacteria.

One illusion less

Unfortunately! Only with lemons and lemon water you can not achieve all the above benefits for your health! Only in combination with a healthy diet, healthy eating habits and a healthy lifestyle you achieve the desired result and give the lemons the chance to prove their qualities
