Thanks to its pectin fiber content (present to a lesser extent in juice), lemon can help reduce appetite and generate a greater feeling of satiety. In addition, lemon water replaces sugary drinks, reducing total caloric consumption.
Tip: For added effect, combine drinking water with lemon with a balanced diet and regular exercise.
5. Freshens your breath
Lemon can neutralize unpleasant odors and eliminate oral bacteria. Saliva stimulation also helps to wash away food debris and microorganisms.
Important: Use a straw to drink the lemon water and rinse your mouth with natural water afterwards, as citric acid can damage tooth enamel.
6. Provides potassium
Lemon also contains potassium, a mineral that is essential for the functioning of the heart, muscles, and nervous system.
Consuming it regularly can help regulate blood pressure and balance the body’s fluids.
7. Prevents the formation of kidney stones
The citric acid in lemon increases citrate levels in the urine, which helps prevent stones from forming. This effect is especially beneficial for people prone to developing kidney stones.
Recommendation: make sure to maintain good daily hydration to enhance this benefit.
