Lemon water spices up water, but there is a risk of tooth damage. The high acid content can attack tooth enamel and lead to long-term dental problems.

Lemon water is also said to help you lose weight by reducing the feeling of hunger. There are only around 20 kilocalories in 100 grams of lemon water. One lemon covers around half of the daily requirement for vitamin C, as the Apotheke Umschau informs. It is a powerful antioxidant that, among other things, strengthens the immune system.
