If you drink lemon water every morning, you are doing something good for your body.
At least if he does it right – and avoids the mistakes that millions of people make.
Lemon has a whole host of health benefits.
Lemon water is a popular way to not only hydrate the body, but even put you in a good mood.
Unless you make a crucial mistake that happens to millions of people when they drink lemon water.
LUDWIGSHAFEN24 explains how you should drink lemon water every morning before breakfast so that the drink can develop its full effect.
What does lemon water do before breakfast?
The lemon is not only one of the healthiest fruits in the world, as HEIDELBERG24 knows, but is also extremely versatile.
Most people don't want to just bite into it, but a popular form in which you can easily enjoy the fruit is lemon water.
If you drink lemon water in the morning before breakfast, you not only supply your body with fluids, but also with valuable nutrients such as vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, citric acid and pectin.
They give you a kick start to the day, support the immune system and digestion.
Afterwards we not only feel refreshed, but also fitter and more comfortable in the short and long term.
Lemon water has other health benefits: It supports iron absorption and not only helps to relieve heartburn and flatulence, but can even dissolve painful uric acid deposits and prevent the formation of new kidney stones.
The mistake millions of people make when drinking lemon water in the morning
For the numerous positive effects of lemon water, simply halve a lemon and add it to 300 to 500 milliliters of lukewarm water.
The temperature is important because you want to avoid the body having to warm up the cold water in your stomach.
This drains the energy you need for the day, especially in the morning.
Another popular mistake: If you drink your lemon water with breakfast or immediately before, you're not doing yourself any favors.
Because only after a while can the full benefits of the citrus fruit unfold.
This is better for your metabolism and – if you want to – the effect on losing weight.
Should you drink lemon water on an empty stomach?
Short answer: yes.
The long answer: Lemon water works best when you drink it on an empty stomach.
Provided you can tolerate the acidic water.
The lemon is processed in the body in an alkaline manner and can therefore even have an effect against heartburn.
For some sensitive stomachs, the citrus kick in the morning isn't right.

Which foods trigger heartburn varies from person to person.
A simple glass of water, on the other hand, can help flush the acid down.
Dissolving baking soda in it can neutralize the acid.
And even chewing gum can help.
If the lemon water in the morning is too bitter for you, you can drink it later, for example at lunchtime or in the evening.
However, you should always not eat anything after drinking lemon water.
How long after not eating lemon water?
It is best to drink lemon water at least 15 minutes, but better even half an hour to an hour before breakfast.
This applies not only when you drink it in the morning, but also later throughout the day.
Lemon water can also do wonders for your health in the evening before you go to bed.
Among other things, the acid in lemon attacks mucous membranes and teeth.
Subsequent foods then only tempt you even more.
If you give your body some time to recover, you drive better.
In addition to the digestive and detoxifying properties of the drink, you can also mix lemon in water to lose weight.
The meal break immediately after drinking is also crucial for this.
Can you lose weight with lemon water in the morning?
The lukewarm water with lemon can relieve your appetite early in the morning and ward off cravings.
So if you tend to eat beyond your means for breakfast, a glass of lemon water can help, as long as you wait to eat after drinking.
The vitamin C it contains also helps you lose weight.
This stimulates the production of hormones that are not only responsible for metabolism, but also for burning fat.
Of course, it is also important that you make sure to eat a balanced and conscious diet when you finally eat.
How much lemon water should you drink in the morning?
To do something good for your health and figure, just one glass, i.e. between 250 and 300 milliliters of lemon water, is enough.
If you tolerate the water well, you can drink more.
However, if you are not so sure, then it is better to leave it alone.
However, if you don't like drinking lemon water at all, you can simply put a cut lemon next to your bed.
