Soaking fresh lemon in water is a beauty product, because it is rich in vitamins, which can prevent and eliminate skin pigmentation and play a whitening role; Drinking lemonade can also prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases, because lemonade can alleviate the role of calcium ions in promoting blood coagulation, so it can prevent and assist in the treatment of hypertension and myocardial infarction.
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, and citrate can prevent minerals in urine from forming crystals in the kidneys, that is, kidney calculi.
Lemon is rich in vitamin C, which has many functions, such as anti-bacteria, improving immunity and assisting the formation of bone collagen. Drinking lemonade regularly can supplement vitamin C. Drinking 500 to 1000 ml of lemonade every day can reduce runny nose when you have a cold, and the cold will spread quickly, especially when you have just caught a cold, and you can recover without taking medicine. In addition to resisting bacteria and enhancing immunity, it also has the effects of stimulating appetite, promoting digestion, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, and relieving summer heat.
It is worth noting that even the best food can't be eaten recklessly. Lemon is no exception. Many women drink a lot of lemonade every day for beauty, which hurts their stomachs. So drink lemonade in moderation, not more than 1000 ml per day.
The content of vitamin C in lemon is not as high as you think. Among fruits, it is not as good as seabuckthorn and Rosa roxburghii, nor as good as jujube, kiwi fruit and strawberry. And if you drink water soaked in dried lemon slices, I'm afraid the result will be even more disappointing.
Therefore, considering comprehensively, soaking fresh lemon slices in warm water or cold water can supplement vitamin C, and you don't have to worry that this half lemon will harm you.
