Benefits of Lemon

Benefits of Lemons: Lemons are a popular fruit that people use in small quantities and with herbs and spices, but they are rarely consumed alone, due to their intense, sour flavor. They give flavor to many sauces, salad dressings, marinades, drinks, and desserts, and they are also a good source of vitamin C.

Lemon contains citric acid, which may erode tooth enamel (an ironic twist for people using lemon to help bad breath). To limit the risk, drink lemon water through a straw, and rinse your mouth afterward. When it comes to heartburn, lemon water can go either way. The acidic citric acid may stimulate heartburn in some people. Others may experience relief from heartburn since lemons become alkaline in the digestive tract. If lemons aggravate your heartburn, avoid drinking lemon water.

If you experience the need for extra bathroom breaks while drinking lemon water, it’s more than likely caused by increased water intake.
