Why You Should Drink Lemon Water In The Morning

[harsta]

Lemon is a yellow fruit whose pulp, juice, peel and even its zest can be exclusively used in food further the sour taste of lemon is due to the presence of 5 % to 6% of citric acid in lemon juice. This distinctive taste of lemon juice also makes it one of the important ingredients either when it is used in drinks or even food like cocktails, lemonade and soft drinks.

Lemon juice also can be made into a preservative for certain foods which oxidize and turn brown after they are sliced like apples, bananas and avocados, it is the presence of acids which denatures the enzymes which result in browning and degradation of foods.

is it good for whom having diabates ? let me know please

[hazari]

I was taking lemon with 2 glasses of warm water with little turmeric/cinnamon powder & awla powder in morning to cure diabetes, though the diabetes is reduced but have developed pain at joints and now have stopped taking lemon as was advised not to take lemon.Is the Lemon effects knee joint pain? still not able to decide ..

[GuruG in reply to hazari]

Mr. Hazari, as per ayurveda lemon has all the benefits discussed in this forum & many more. But it has 'cooling effect' as one of it's natural properties. That gives yo the associated pains. Hence to get the desired benefits without the pains, you have to balance the effect of coolness in lemon juice. For that you need to balance it with some ingredient which has warm/hot natural property. So,one can take some ginger/ginger juice (one-2 teaspoon ginger juice for a glass of lemon water)/ 1/2 tsp dry ginger powder. Alternatively, you can take 1-2 cloves of garlic along with your lemon water. Joint pains/cramps etc. should not worry you thereafter. Enjoy your morning lemon water with my blessings !!!

[katterasomaiah]

i too ,have the positive experience in taking lemon juice with salt to taste.

[harshu45]

But too much of lemon juice will also adversely affect your bones. Never take it for more than 2 months at a stretch. Leave a gap of 3 months before starting again.

[hazari]

It is better not to take any harmful item when particularly .you are diabetic on the advice yesterday I tried again half lemon juice with Turmeric etc.as above mentioned . By evening again had pain in the legs and have to take pain killer. It is good for healthy person as diabetics are prone for such kind of muscular pains.
