Can lemon water fight cancer? When we drink lemon water, what should we do to have the greatest benefit for our health?
Let’s talk regarding what lemonade is. Lemonade, as the name suggests, is lemon juice and water. The main nutrients in this lemon juice are vitamin C and citric acid. Can citric acid lose weight? It can’t lose weight, but it can stimulate our digestive tract to secrete digestive juice, which helps digestion. Does Vitamin C Help You Lose Weight? Also no.
All the health benefits of lemon juice are related to vitamin C. A lemon contains 21% of the vitamin C we need for a day, which is very high. The second component of lemonade is water. Water is very important. Water helps our body metabolize and detoxify. At the same time, drinking water can give our body a sense of fullness and help you reduce your appetite. In addition, drinking plenty of water can also help people defecate and reduce constipation.
So under what circumstances will drinking lemon water have a weight loss effect? It is for some of us who like to drink high-sugar drinks, some like to drink Sprite, some like to drink Coke, these drinks contain relatively high sugar and high calories. In this case, if you replace it with lemonade, it will be different, because lemon contains very low calories, very little sugar, no fat and no other protein, so it is a low-calorie drink.
So lemon water itself has no weight loss effect, but if you use lemon water to replace the high-sugar and high-calorie drinks you usually drink, then lemon water will indirectly help you lose weight.
Others say it can fight cancer. Can lemon water fight cancer? This statement is somewhat exaggerated. The main nutrients in this lemonade are vitamin C and water. Vitamin C has an antioxidant effect. The so-called anti-oxidation means that our body will produce a kind of free radical under oxidative stress. If there are too many free radicals, it will damage our cells and increase the risk of various chronic diseases (including cancer) in our body. But if you already have cancer, you say that drinking lemonade can fight cancer, this statement is groundless.
There are also many, many misunderstandings here. For example, some people say that carrots cannot be eaten following drinking lemonade, because the enzymes in carrots will decompose the vitamin C in lemonade. In fact, vitamin C is a relatively stable compound, and general enzymes will not decompose it, so the biggest factors that cause vitamin C damage are sunlight, heat and air. So there is nothing wrong with eating lemonade with carrots.
When is the best time to drink lemonade? In fact, you can drink it at any time, drink it in the morning on an empty stomach, drink it before going to bed at night, or drink it following meals. So lemonade should be very good as a regular drink.
