Dr. Dietrich Grönemeyer says lemon water helps protect against exhaustion, vascular damage, and heart attacks.
The fruit is acidic, which works against hyperacidity in the body. Vitamin C also calms the walls of the arteries, which in turn prevents vascular calcification. But as with everything, lemon water should be enjoyed in moderation. Experts warn that the acid in the fruit can attack tooth enamel, which is why lemon water can also help you lose weight, according to the doctor. The drink is also said to help fight colds and prevent cancer, as it is rich in vitamin C, which can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer. The lemon is also a good source of vitamin C and vitamin B2, which have been shown to help prevent cancer and colds. It is also thought to help reduce body fat, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease risk, as well as a number of other health benefits, such as a lower risk of diabetes and high blood pressure.
