Lemon is a kind of fruit commonly used in our daily life, and it is very suitable for soaking in water. Drinking lemon water in moderation can promote digestion, but drinking lemon water in large quantities or on an empty stomach is also harmful. Let's take a look at this drink together!
1. Speed up wound healing
Usually people drink some lemon water in moderation, which can absorb rich vitamin C, and vitamin C is a natural anti-inflammatory and bactericidal ingredient, which can promote tissue cell regeneration and accelerate wound healing.
When we have trauma, it is very suitable to drink more lemon water, which can not only speed up wound healing, but also prevent wound infection.
2. Improve digestive function
Drinking some lemon water in moderation can also improve the digestive function of the human stomach, because it is rich in citric acid, which can promote the secretion of gastric juice.
It also eliminates inflammation in the stomach and intestines, which can ease constipation while speeding up gastrointestinal motility. In addition to these effects, drinking lemon water in moderation can also reduce the concentration of uric acid in the body and prevent the occurrence of gout.
3. Delay skin aging
In daily life, people drink some lemon water, but also delay skin aging. It can clean up the free radicals accumulated in the human body, and can also improve the activity of skin cells and delay the skin aging process.
In addition, the vitamins it contains can also accelerate the synthesis of collagen in the body, which can increase skin elasticity and prevent premature wrinkles.
4. Eliminate bad breath
Because the citric acid in lemon has the effect of eliminating bacteria in the oral cavity, soaking in lemon water can relieve oral discomfort and oral odor caused by toothache and periodontitis, and can also effectively prevent bleeding and redness of the gums.
Drinking lemon water in moderation can maintain our oral health and ensure fresh breath.
However, not all people are suitable to drink lemonade, and the more lemonade, the better. Sometimes drinking it incorrectly will not only not help our health, but will have the opposite effect. When we drink lemonade, there are still some precautions we need to know. Let's take a look at it together.
1. Do not drink lemon water on an empty stomach
Don't drink a lot of lemon water on an empty stomach, it will cause excessive stomach acid and stomach pain, especially children and the elderly, it is even more difficult to drink on an empty stomach.
Because lemon will produce citric acid, which is acidic, it is easy to drink too much stomach acid, causing damage to the spleen and stomach, and people with gastric ulcer should not drink lemonade.
2. Don’t drink too strong lemonade
After drinking lemon water, the acidic substances of lemon are easy to remain on the teeth, which may lead to dental caries, so it should be eaten in moderation. Remember not to drink too thick lemonade.
A piece of lemon with peel is soaked in 200ml of water. This kind of lemonade does not have a strong sour taste and can be drunk without sugar. In addition, pay attention to gargle after drinking lemonade.
3.The best choice of fresh lemon
Fresh lemons have a strong aroma, while dried lemons have a certain loss of aroma components and vitamin C. Fresh lemons must be peeled and sliced thinly.
Because some of the flavonoids in the peel are higher, they are all healthy ingredients, and the essential oil of lemon is also mainly in the peel, and thinly sliced is conducive to the aroma components in the lemon peel.
