    Benefits of Lemon Water
    Before I get ahead of myself, though, let’s talk about the health benefits. Lemon water is not only refreshing, but it also:

    Improves heartburn, bloating and other digestion problems, including constipation and diarrhea.
    Cleanses and stimulates the liver and kidneys.
    Provides calcium, magnesium and potassium for your body, as well as vitamin C.
    Has reportedly been used to relieve asthma.
    Offers relief from cold and flu symptoms.
    Prevents the build up of bacteria in the body.
    Alkalizes your blood which can prevent wrinkles, illness and fatique.
    Detoxify your body.

    I didn't know about the heartburn bit. You'd figure it'd be worse since it's acidic. Didn't know it was a diuretic either. I wonder where the site got that information.

    It's also great for cleaning and making make-it-yourself-stuff-that-includes-vinegar things smell good :D

    lemon is said to help aid in digestion.

    I also do orange slices in my water. Very yummy!
