For such a simple drink, the list of lemon water benefits are impressive. Even if you're not a big H2O drinker, you might find yourself reaching for a glass when you check out how awesome it is for your body and mind!

𝑩𝑬𝑵𝑭𝑰𝑻𝑺
𝟏 - 𝑨𝒊𝒅𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝑫𝒊𝒈𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑫𝒆𝒕𝒐𝒙𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏
Because lemon juice's atomic structure is similar to the digestive juices found in the stomach, it tricks the liver into producing bile, which helps keep food moving through your body and gastrointestinal tract smoothly. Lemon water also helps relieve indigestion or ease an upset stomach.

The acids found in lemon juice also encourage your body to process the good stuff in foods more slowly. This drawn-out absorption means insulin levels remain steady and you get more nutrients out of the food you consume. Better nutrient absorption means less bloating. Lemon water benefits the enzyme functions in your body, stimulating the liver and flushing out toxins. Because it's a mild diuretic, you might find yourself using the bathroom more often, helping the urinary tract get rid of any unwanted elements. All of this helps detox the body and skin.

𝟐 - 𝑩𝒖𝒎𝒑𝒔 𝑼𝒑 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑽𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒏 𝑪 𝑸𝒖𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕
Since your body doesn't make vitamein C on its own, it's important to get enough of it from the foods and drinks you ingest. Luckily, lemons are chock-full of vitamin C.

What are the venefits of getting enough vitamin C? It stimulates white blood cell production, vital for your immune system to function properly. As an antioxidant, vitamin C also portects cells from oxidative damage. Plus, getting enough vitamin C helps the immune system keep colds and flu at bay. Drinking lemon water daily ensures your body gets a sizable amount of vitamin C daily.

𝟑 - 𝑹𝒆𝒋𝒖𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔 𝑺𝒌𝒊𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒐𝒅𝒚
The antioxidants found in vitamin C do double duty in lemon water. They fight enough vitamin C from your lemon water also keeps the body producing collagen, essential in smoothing out lines in the face. And, in one recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, regularly consuming viatmin C led to younger-looking skin and less wrinkles.

𝟒 - 𝑯𝒆𝒍𝒑𝒔 𝑺𝒉𝒆𝒅 𝑷𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒔
Regularly sipping on lemon water can help you lose those last pounds. That's because lemons contain pectin, a type of fiber commonly found in fruits. Pectin helps you feel full longer; that satiated feeling means you'll chow down less throughout the day. plus, did you know that when you're even mildly dehydrated, you're more prone to things like headaches, fatigue, and an overall bad mood? Chugging down lemon water helps your body stay hydrated and feeling happy.

𝟓 - 𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒔 𝑬𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑴𝒐𝒐𝒅
Skip the morning cup of coffee - lemon water can boost energy levels without the caffeine crash. Here's how it works: Our bodies get energy from the atoms and molecules in foods. When negative-charged ions, like those found in lemons, enter your digestive tract, the result is and increase in energy levels au naturel.
Additionally, just the scent of a lemon has been found to reduce stress leveles and improve moods.

Ready to jump on the lemon water bandwagon? Here are a few things to keep in mind at the store:
• There are 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲𝘀 of lemons available in the U.S.
Eureka and Lisbon lemons are both sour and tart. Eureka lemons have textured skins and few seeds. Lisbon lemons tend to have a smoother skin and no seeds.
Meyer lemons, a sweeter variety, are becoming more common. These lemons have Mandarin oranges in their family tree, giving these fruits a deeper color than traditional lemons.
• When buying lemons, opt for ones that are fully yellow and, if possible, organic. If the fruit is still green, it isn't fully ripe.
Thinner-skinned lemons are juicier. Keep away from lemons that look dull, wrinkled or excessively hard.

𝗧𝗜𝗣𝗦
• Storing lemons in a sealed plastic bag keeps lemons fresh much longer than leaving them at room temperature.
• To make preparing lemon water even easier, juice several lemons into an ice cube tray and freeze. Pop a few cubes in a glass of water to have fresh lemon juice at the ready, anytime!
• When preparing lemon water, it's best to add the lemon juice to 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 or 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗺 water - start with half a lemon's worth of juice. drinking cold lemon water can be a 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺.

Until about the 10th century, lemons were used mainly as decorative plants.

Lemons and other 𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑚𝑖𝑛 𝐶-𝑟𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑓𝑟𝑢𝑖𝑡𝑠 were particularly treasured for their ability to ward off scurvy. Today, the main producers of lemons include Italy, Greece, Spain, Turkey and the U.S.

And though I love the benefits of lemon water, there are tons of ways to use lemons.
