Helps with Weight Loss. Drinking more water has been associated with increased weight loss because it helps boost metabolism. The research specific to lemon water and weight loss is limited. However, replacing juice, or high-sugar drinks with lemon water could have a big payoff in weight loss.
Promotes Hydration. Lemon juice contains electrolytes that help with rehydration. Optimal hydration supports our body systems at the cellular level. The benefits of optimal hydration include; improved skin quality, protection from kidney stones, and relief from bloating and constipation.
Source of vitamin C. The juice of half a lemon provides about ⅕ of your daily vitamin C requirements. Vitamin C helps repair and protects against cellular damage.
Lemons have flavonoids, plant compounds that have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Antioxidants help clean up free radicals that can cause oxidative stress. Flavonoids also help reduce inflammation linked to increased oxidative stress and risks of arthritis, diabetes, and autoimmune conditions.
Drinking lemon water is a healthy daily habit. It is affordable, and can be easily stacked on other habits. Consuming lemon water as part of a nutrition plan that includes a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables is a great way to boost your health.
