Kiều Vũ (Theo Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology) |

Drinking warm lemon water is a popular habit chosen by many people, especially in the early morning.

Recent scientific studies have shown that the timing of drinking warm lemon water can have a positive effect on health, especially in improving digestion, strengthening the immune system and supporting weight loss. So, when is the best time to drink warm lemon water?

Drink early in the morning to help purify the body

One of the best times to drink warm lemon water is in the morning when you wake up. Drinking warm lemon water in the morning can help cleanse your body after a long night's rest. Lemon contains vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that helps boost your immune system, while also hydrating your body after a night of not drinking water, reducing dehydration.

Aids digestion and cleanses the intestines

Drinking warm lemon water in the morning can stimulate bile production, which helps with digestion. Lemon helps the liver eliminate toxins and improves digestion. Warm water helps soothe the stomach, relieves bloating and indigestion, and cleanses the intestines, thereby increasing the ability to absorb nutrients from meals.

Helps lose weight effectively

Drinking warm lemon water in the morning not only helps cleanse the body but also helps with weight loss. Drinking warm lemon water in the morning can help boost metabolism and increase calorie burning. Lemons contain pectin, a soluble fiber that can help reduce cravings and keep you feeling fuller for longer.

Enhance skin health

Warm lemon water also has a beautifying effect on the skin when consumed in the morning. Vitamin C in lemon helps stimulate collagen production, improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Vitamin C also helps brighten the skin and reduce pigmentation, while helping the body fight the effects of UV rays and pollution.

The best time to take it is before breakfast.

To maximize the benefits of warm lemon water, experts recommend drinking it on an empty stomach, about 20-30 minutes before breakfast. This helps the body absorb the nutrients from the lemon and enhances the cleansing effect. Avoid drinking lemon water right after eating because it can irritate the stomach due to the acidity of the lemon.
