Lemon Water: 5 reasons why you should drink it daily

Improved Digestion resulting in Weight loss

Your gut is the source of your being. A good digestive system is imperative for weight loss and nothing improves your digestion like lemon water. Ayurveda has strongly propagated the consumption of lemon water in the morning to kickstart your digestion. Just a lemon in lukewarm water helps digestion, giving you the happiness of a day well started. As a natural laxative, warm water with lemon helps in cleaning your gut and aiding your digestive system as well as metabolism. In turn, it helps in effective weight loss by simply improving your health.

Improved Immunity

Lemon, though not the top of the chart source of Vitamin C still packs a healthy dose. One lemon’s juice provided you about 18.6 mg of Vitamin C, which is about 15 to 20% of your daily requirement. Also, it is an excellent source of antioxidants that protect cells by eliminating free radicals. Also, Vitamin C has been shown to enhance the differentiation and proliferation of the B and T cells, which are essentially the soldiers of your immune system.

Improved skin

Remember your mother asking you to rub lemon on your skin? Well she was not wrong to advise as such. Its effectiveness is tested and is used by biggest beauty names to restore your skin. But just rubbing it is not enough. It is as effective inside as out. Vitamin C promotes oxidant scavenging activity of the skin, in effect helping the skin with its epithelial barrier function against pathogens and environmental oxidative stress. In simple words – a radiant looking you.

Weight Loss or more appropriately checking weight gain

Studies have shown that lemon water significantly reduces weight gain in mice. It also offsets the blood glucose level and improved insulin resistance. Both these factors are known for increasing the chances of Type 2 Diabetes. As such, it is suggested that lemon water helps support weight loss as well. Some researchers also believe that the mere feeling of fullness after drinking lemon water is what aids the weight loss as it is low in calorie count and would help the person achieve the deficit required.
