3. Prevention and treatment of kidney calculi
Lemon water contains a lot of citrate, which can inhibit the crystallization of calcium salt, thus preventing the formation of kidney calculi, and even reducing the number of stones in some patients with chronic kidney calculi. The research results published at the annual meeting of the American Urological Society also show that drinking lemon juice can increase the level of citrate in urine, which can prevent minerals in urine from forming crystals in the kidney, that is, kidney calculi.

Lemon is rich in vitamin C, which has many functions, such as anti-bacteria, improving immunity, assisting the formation of bone collagen, etc. Drinking lemonade often can supplement vitamin C.

Add warm water and salt to lemon juice and drink it to cough up the thick phlegm accumulated in the throat. At the beginning of a cold, you might as well use lemon and honey to flush, which can relieve sore throat and reduce discomfort such as dry throat.
