Is it magical or a wellness farce? A doctor weighs in on lemon water and what health benefits the tonic could actually have.
Much has been said about lemon water, from those who attribute almost magical properties to it to others who categorically state that it is good for absolutely nothing. Neither one extreme nor the other is completely true—no drink can work a miracle, but lemon water can provide our body with a number of benefits. Here's what nutritionist and dietitian Dr. Montse Folcha, has to say about the heath drink.
“This leads to better digestion in general. It should be noted that anybody affected by stomach acidity should not try this, as it may increase the issue.” Does lemon water relieve thirst? “Lemon contains many organic acids, like citric acid, which stimulate salivation and relieve thirst, rather than simply drinking water,” Dr. Folcha says. Just be careful to always mix with water—pure lemon can damage the enamel of your teeth.
