Drinking lemon water has many effects, but you should also pay attention to these "2 points" taboos
Lemon is a common fruit that is rich in vitamin C and a variety of antioxidants that have many health benefits. And lemonade, which is made by slicing lemons and adding them to water, is loved by many people. But while lemonade has many benefits, there are some contraindications to be aware of. Here are two taboos for drinking lemonade.
1. Do not drink excessively.
Despite the many benefits of lemon water, drinking it in excess can still cause a certain burden on the body. First of all, lemons contain a lot of acidic substances, and if consumed in excess, they can have an irritating effect on the gastrointestinal tract, causing stomach pain, diarrhea and other uncomfortable symptoms. Secondly, although the vitamin C content in lemons is very high, excessive intake can also cause a burden on the kidneys and affect the normal function of the kidneys. Therefore, it is recommended not to drink more than 500 ml of lemon water per day.
2. It should not be drunk on an empty stomach.
The acidic substances in lemon water can irritate the gastric mucosa, which can easily cause uncomfortable symptoms such as excessive stomach acid and stomach pain. Therefore, it is not recommended to drink lemonade on an empty stomach. It is best to drink it half an hour after a meal, which will reduce the irritating effect on the stomach. In addition, for patients with stomach diseases such as gastric ulcers and gastritis, drinking lemon water on an empty stomach should be avoided.
In conclusion, drinking lemon water does have many benefits, such as boosting metabolism, boosting immunity, whitening skin, etc. However, we also need to pay attention to the two taboos of drinking in moderation and avoiding drinking on an empty stomach. Only by drinking lemon water in the right way can you truly enjoy its health benefits.
