There is not much difference between drinking a glass of lemonade every night for 30 days and drinking a glass of boiled water every night for 30 days, because lemonade is based on boiled water and dissolves a small amount of vitamins and minerals in lemons, including lemonade rich in vitamin C, which many people often say is actually very small. Drinking a glass of lemonade of about 200 ml every day has very limited nutritional supplement and health care value.

The data show that every100g of lemon water contains vitamin C 1. 1mg and potassium 10mg, which are the two most nutritious micronutrients in lemon. If you drink 200ml lemonade every night, you will get 2.2mg of vitamin C and 20mg of potassium, and every100g of tomatoes contains vitamin C 14mg/ potassium. Every100g of spinach contains vitamin c32mg/k311mg, and every100g of orange contains vitamin C33mg/potassium159mg. Basically, if you eat half a bite (or a sip) of common vegetables or fruits, you will get more vitamin C and potassium than a glass of lemonade. So you say that if you eat about 10g of fruits and vegetables every day (this 10g, the contents of dietary fiber and most vitamins and minerals are higher than a glass of lemonade), what special or obvious health changes can you have for 30 days?

Obviously, the health significance of lemonade has been exaggerated. Drinking lemonade is mainly for drinking more water. Compared with drinking the same amount of boiled water, the nutritional significance is limited. But many people think that boiled water tastes weak, and adding lemon can help them drink more water. Compared with other flavored white sugar water, honey water and sweet drinks, it can avoid excessive sugar intake, which is a good choice, but it has little nutritional significance, not to mention the obvious whitening of the skin after drinking for one or two months.

What nutrients do lemons contain?

Speaking of lemon, it is a kind of home-cooked fruit. Lemon is a sour fruit, so it is rich in organic acids such as citric acid and malic acid. Besides vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and other minerals, lemon also contains lemon essential oil, hesperidin, naringin and other substances.

What are the benefits of drinking lemonade often?

Before studying the health benefits, we should emphasize that lemon is just a kind of food, which can provide the sensory needs of color, fragrance and nutrition, but it can't cure diseases. Theories about the efficacy of lemonade in the market, such as anti-cancer and heart disease, are not scientific. Please be fair.

In addition to the nutritional dose, drinking lemonade also has some benefits for the body:

Lemon is rich in vitamin C. Because of this, although lemon will destroy some vitamin C after soaking in water, the intake of vitamins in the body can also promote the absorption of mineral iron. In addition, vitamin C has certain resistance to viruses, bacteria and other harmful substances, which can prevent the invasion of colds and other problems and enhance the body's immunity.

In principle, vitamin C is an important nutrient, which can promote wound healing and keep bones healthy. Drinking lemonade will also play such a role appropriately.

Vitamin C contained in lemon can properly remove free radicals in the body. In addition, vitamin C can also promote the synthesis of collagen by amino acids, which plays a role in protecting the skin, thus preventing premature wrinkles.

Lemon is a slightly sour fruit, so is lemonade. Many people don't like it in real life. Drinking lemonade before meals can stimulate appetite and promote eating.

Lemon is a kind of fruit food with unique taste. People who drink lemonade at ordinary times can also improve their breath. You will be more attractive if you are fresh and sweet.

Of course, the biggest function of drinking lemonade is:

Increase the daily drinking water. Many people simply can't reach the recommended daily drinking water in their daily life, and always feel that drinking water is tasteless. However, when brewing with lemon, it can reliably increase the daily drinking water, thus promoting metabolism and promoting defecation, which is the greatest benefit of drinking lemonade.

To drink lemonade healthily, you should do the following:

Many people choose to soak in water with dried lemon slices, which is actually not recommended. Fresh lemon contains about 22 mg of vitamin C per100g. Vitamin C is very sensitive and can be damaged by light and heat. In addition, vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, which is easy to exist in an environment with water. Exposure to oxygen-enriched air after losing moisture is easy to be destroyed by accelerated oxidation.

For dried lemon, after drying and illumination, the vitamin C contained in it is almost zero, just a little sour.

So I suggest you soak in fresh lemon. It is most reliable to brew with sliced skin. Relatively speaking, the content of some flavonoids in lemon peel is high, so it is recommended to drink it.

Many people like to drink iced lemonade. They think that high temperature will cause great loss of vitamin C, but cold water is more likely to stimulate the stomach. In addition, vitamin C (loss) is not as evil as you think. It is recommended to drink warm water, and the temperature is not recommended to exceed 65 degrees Celsius, so as not to damage the esophagus and gastric mucosa. Close to the body temperature is more reliable.

Many people think lemonade is sour, so they choose to add sugar, but adding sugar will bring a lot of unnecessary trouble to your body. Whether it is dental caries or obesity, or diabetes. So if you feel delicious, you can add two drops of honey (not too much, honey is also sugar) to add a little flavor.

Lemon, a very good fruit, is recommended to be eaten often, and honey water is also recommended to be drunk often. Refuse misunderstanding, pay attention to details, and hope that a cup of healthy honey water will add fun to your life.

Nutritionist Tang Xiao will answer your questions. Insist on drinking lemonade for 30 days, and your body will not change significantly.

Many people think that lemon contains more vitamin C, and drinking lemonade often can whiten the skin. In fact, the vitamin C content of lemon is very general. After determination, the vitamin C content of lemon is only 22 mg/100 g, and many fruits such as jujube, kiwi fruit and citrus are many times higher than it. Moreover, the water-soluble vitamin C content of lemons is actually very small. It is conceivable that a cup of lemon water can make vitamin C, which is not as good as eating two Chinese cabbages.

Although drinking lemonade can't whiten the skin, lemons taste fresh, and regular drinking can improve your breath. Lemon also contains more limonin, flavonoids, carotenoids and other beneficial ingredients, which are beneficial to drink every day.

However, it should be noted that long-term intake of excessive high-concentration lemonade has the following disadvantages:

1. Lemon has a high acidity, which will erode the enamel on the tooth surface and make the tooth decay easily.

2. Excessive intake of acidic substances can cause ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux, leading to nausea, vomiting and heartburn.

3. It may aggravate kidney and gallbladder stones, because excessive intake of lemon water will lead to excessive intake of oxalate, which will aggravate the stone problem.

Lemonade can be drunk often, but not in large quantities in pursuit of unrealistic results. No matter what food is suitable, everyone should stop.

I hope that the answer of Tangtang can help my friends, and we will share more questions about healthy eating later!
