Drinking lemon water in the morning, especially when waking up on an empty stomach, is one of the simple ways to start the digestive system and support the liver to function more effectively.
Drink on an empty stomach - the golden time to purify the body
A glass of warm water mixed with lemon when you first wake up can help stimulate digestion, promote better liver function and support the process of eliminating waste from the body. This is the ideal time because the stomach is empty, the body can easily absorb water and vitamin C from lemon.
So mix with warm water, not too hot
For best results, you should mix lemon with warm water (about 30-40°C). Water that is too hot can deplete vitamin C, while cold water is not good for the digestive system in the morning. A glass of warm water with about half a lemon is the right dosage.
Drink regularly, in moderation
You can drink a glass of warm lemon water every morning and can add it after meals if you want. Just a few tablespoons of lemon juice mixed in a glass of warm water is enough. This habit helps increase water absorption, supplement antioxidants and support pH balance in the body.
Tooth protection
Lemon is acidic, if consumed regularly can affect tooth enamel. To reduce this harm, you should use a straw when drinking and gently rinse your mouth with filtered water afterwards.
