Rehydration drinks, electrolyte balance
People who work outdoors or play sports often lose a lot of water and salt through sweat. At this time, a glass of salted lemon is an ideal choice: both to relieve your thirst and help compensate for the necessary sodium and mineral content. Drinking lemon and salt also helps the body stay alert, limiting cramps and fatigue.
Support healthy digestion
Lemon is rich in flavonoids - substances that can stimulate the digestive system to function smoothly. Drinking a cup of warm water mixed with lemon juice and half a spoonful of salt in the morning on an empty stomach will help clean the intestines, supporting laxatives. If you add a few slices of ginger, this drink also helps reduce the feeling of fullness of stomach and indigestion.
Cleanse the skin, support acne treatment
Salt and lemon both have antibacterial properties, and when combined, they will become a friend for acne-prone skin. You can mix lemon juice and salt in a ratio of 1:1, lightly apply to the acne area for about 10 minutes and then rinse. Salt helps exfoliate, reduce excess oil; while lemon lights up the skin and increases the dark spots caused by acne.
Reduces gum pain, antibacterial in the mouth
Guistic pain or canker sores often cause an uncomfortable appetite. A little lemon juice mixed with salt, applied to the pained gums for a few minutes and then stewed in your mouth will help reduce inflammation and fight bacteria. Lemon juice is rich in vitamin C, which also helps increase resistance, helping to prevent sore throat and tonsil.
Notes when using: Do not abuse: drinking too much salted lemon water can damage the stomach, eroding tooth enamel.
People with gastric ulcers and acid reflux should limit their use.
When caring for your skin with salted lemon, you should only apply it 12 times a week and avoid direct sunlight immediately afterwards because the skin is easily sunburned.
Lemon and salt are two cheap ingredients, but if used reasonably and scientifically, they will become a simple, safe "medicine", helping to take care of health and beauty right at home
