Health: 5 good reasons to start your day with lemon juice
The acidity of lemon adds to the acidity of your stomach, which it needs to break down the food you eat. This is especially true as we age, as this natural acidity declines with age.
2 – AntioxidantRich in vitamin C, lemon juice possesses powerful antioxidant properties. It plays a role in combating aging by preventing cell deterioration due to oxidation.
Its antioxidant properties also help reduce inflammation. If it becomes chronic, inflammation can lead to all sorts of conditions, including chronic infections, cancer, allergies, and asthma.
4 – A boost for your immune systemVitamin C, along with potassium, magnesium, iron and fiber provided by lemon juice, also helps to greatly boost your immune system.
Replacing your morning latte or hot chocolate with a glass of lemon juice is a habit that will help lower your sugar intake and help you maintain your ideal weight.
A downside? Because lemon is highly acidic, it can damage your tooth enamel. To reduce this effect, drink the juice warm rather than hot. You can also drink through a straw (metal or bamboo) or rinse your mouth immediately after drinking.
