According to Healthline, detoxification in medical terms is the responsibility of the liver and kidneys, the bodys natural detoxification organs. There is no convincing evidence that a glass of warm lemon water can replace this bio-detoxification function or "wash away" toxins left in the body.
Health experts emphasize that lemon water supports health through indirect mechanisms (such as hydration, vitamin C supplementation), not "detoxification" in the strict sense of the word.
A clear benefit of lemon water is increased hydration: many people drink less water, add a few slices of lemon to make the water easier to drink and therefore drink more water, which is beneficial for both the kidneys and the skin (healthier when provided with enough water).
Lemon juice helps supplement vitamin C and encourage hydration, thereby indirectly improving overall health.
Therefore, lemon water can be part of a diet rich in antioxidants, but should not be considered the only liver protection drug.
Regarding the prevention of kidney stones, lemon (lemon/chance water) has the advantage: lemon contains citrate, a substance that can reduce calcium crystallization in urine, thereby reducing the risk of calcium-oxalate stones in some people.
Some small clinical studies show that supplementing lemon juice or diluted lemon juice helps increase urine citrate and reduce the risk of stone recurrence in people with a history.
However, the system's analysis still gives mixed results and the effectiveness depends on the dosage and how used. In general, lemon water can be beneficial for people at risk of stones, but it is not a general "treatment" for all cases.
As for skin lightening, vitamin C in lemons is an important antioxidant involved in collagen synthesis, a factor that determines skin elasticity and healthy light.
Supplementing adequate vitamin C (through food) to support healthy skin; drinking lemon water can contribute to increasing daily vitamin C, but the skin effects will be modest and only appear if you are deficient in vitamin C, or when combined with a reasonable diet, sun protection and skin care.
