Warm lemon water has long appeared in many natural health care recommendations. The mild sour taste, easy to drink, and rich in vitamin C make this drink chosen by many people every morning. However, according to experts, not everyone is suitable. Conversely, there are groups of people who should maintain the habit of drinking warm lemon water regularly to take advantage of clear benefits for the body.
People with a slow digestive system, easily have bloating
For people who often experience bloating and poor digestion, warm lemon juice can play a role in "awakening up" the digestive system. Citric acid in lemon stimulates the secretion of gastric juice to a moderate level, helping the process of food digestion to take place more effectively.
Dr. Michael Ruscio, a digestive expert, Clinical Director at the Ruscio Institute for Functional Health (USA), said: "Diluted lemon juice with warm water can support digestion in people with reduced stomach acid secretion, thereby improving feelings of bloating after eating.
For this group, the appropriate time is to drink a cup of warm lemon juice about 20-30 minutes after breakfast, avoid drinking when completely hungry if you have had a history of stomach pain.
People need to boost immunity and control weight
People who are often tired, sick, or in the stage of weight control can benefit from warm lemon juice. Vitamin C in lemons contributes to supporting the immune system, while promoting energy metabolism.
According to Dr. Sophie Medlin, a nutritionist at King's College London (UK), warm lemon water "does not directly reduce weight, but can help form a better drinking habit, support feelings of fullness and limit sugary drink consumption.
When drinking warm lemon water in the morning, many people reduce the need for coffee or soft drinks, thereby indirectly benefiting weight control and cardiovascular health.
Workers who are stressed, drink less water
The group of office workers and intellectual workers who often forget to drink water should consider warm lemon water. A light flavor makes drinking water more pleasant, contributing to maintaining enough water for the body.
Warm lemon juice also creates a light relaxation feeling in the morning, helping to start a new day more alertly. However, experts note that you should not mix too sour and do not drink it all day long to avoid affecting tooth enamel.
Overall, warm lemon water is most suitable for people with a relatively stable digestive system, who need to boost immunity, control drinking habits and a healthy lifestyle. The important thing is still a moderate dose: one cup per day, diluted, without adding too much sugar. Health does not come from the trend, but from moderation and understanding of one's body.
It's a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit.
