A simple and effective remedy. The consumption of water mixed with lemon, in addition to being refreshing, can help maintain your health economically.
Note that it is preferable to prepare it yourself by squeezing the lemons, as the lemon water sold in stores has been heated to a high temperature to kill the germs, which has reduced the virtues of the lemon.
Lemon is one of the foods richest in vitamin C. A single fruit can cover a third of our daily needs.
Vitamin C protects against cellular aging, improves the assimilation of iron of plant origin, prevents deficiencies and related diseases such as scurvy, and helps fight the onset of cardiovascular diseases, certain cancers, cataracts or neurodegenerative diseases.
Vitamin C also helps in the renewal and function of certain white blood cells, improving the functioning of the immune system.
Citric acid stimulates the secretion of bile in the liver, which allows better digestion. And the lemon fibers also improve intestinal transit.
Drinking a glass of warm lemon water every morning can help you try to lose weight. The thermogenic virtues of this drink allow to accelerate the burning of fats.
The antiseptic properties of lemon help fight infection. A good toddy, or lemon water mixed with a little honey, is an effective natural remedy in case of a flu-like illness.
The astringent virtues of lemon juice allow you to fight diarrhea or prevent gastroenteritis. Drink every night before going to bed.
Staying hydrated is essential to prevent kidney stones. And lemon water, thanks to the citric acid it contains, makes the urine pH more alkaline and thus reduces the formation of stones.
