4, drink lemon water misunderstanding
1. can not use hot water
Some people say that lemon can not be soaked in hot water for fear of vitamin C loss. In fact, the lemon water can not be too cold, otherwise the flavor bubble out. Due to the strong acidity of lemon, vitamin C in acidic conditions of heat resistance is better, did not imagine so easy to lose, soak lemon slices of water temperature higher than 60 degrees is perfectly fine. Besides, you don't drink lemonade just for the vitamin C. The acidic flavor of the food is a little stronger when the temperature rises, so hot lemonade will also seem more acidic. It's easy to fix this, just let the lemonade cool slightly before drinking it.
2. Stomach problems can not drink
Some people say that people with stomach problems can not drink lemonade, because the acidity will be too strong to stimulate the stomach, the stomach acid is too much more can not be used. But in fact with a piece of lemon to soak a bottle of water, soaked out of the lemonade flavor is very light, not at all as acidic as sweet drinks such as Coke, and not so much as to cause gastric ulcers. It's not like you're drinking pure lemon juice (pure lemon juice is about pH 2.5, comparable to Coke). Since citric acid facilitates the absorption of many minerals, Westerners like to squeeze lemon juice on fish, meat, and eggs as an aid to digestion. For those who suffer from indigestion, adding a thin slice of ginger to lemonade and drinking it with meals will be beneficial in promoting the secretion of digestive juices.
3. soak a little thicker good
Lemon water must be light, a piece of lemon with the skin of the lemon soak a zhang of water, can pour 3 to 4 cups. Such lemonade is not very strong acidic flavor, do not add sugar or honey can drink, so that the energy contained in the lower. Lemon must be with the skin, the slice must be thin, because the skin part of the flavonoids higher, may be more worthwhile than the lemon pulp, lemon essential oils are also mainly in the skin inside, thinly sliced lemon peel in the aroma of the ingredients easy to soak out. Lemon peels, including other citrus peels, contain some bitter flavonoids, such as hesperidin and naringin, but they are also beneficial. There's a slight bitterness that works with the acidity to quench your thirst even more when you drink it when it's hot.
4. You can't drink lemon water during the day
Some people have heard that lemon water can whiten the skin, but others have heard that lemon is a kind of "light-sensitive food", and are worried that their skin will darken after drinking lemon water during the day. But this claim is limited to online rumors, have not seen the relevant research evidence. There is even online information that vitamin C is a photosensitive substance, if this is the case, all fruits and vegetables contain vitamin C, it seems that people can not eat any fruits and vegetables during the day - obviously very ridiculous.
5. will promote stone
Some people say that lemonade can not be eaten with calcium-rich foods, calcium and citric acid will be combined into a precipitate, and even in the body to generate stones, which can be rumors. Calcium citrate is slightly soluble in water, and the solubility of calcium citrate tetrahydrate is 0.02 grams/100 grams of water, which doesn't seem to be very high, but calcium citrate is a good material for making calcium supplements because it can be absorbed by the body without the help of stomach acid. In fact, citric acid will not promote kidney stones like oxalic acid, on the contrary, citric acid and other organic acids are favorable to food in the absorption of calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc and other minerals, and research has proved that citric acid on the prevention of kidney stones is also beneficial, and has even been used in the treatment of kidney stones.
