Lemon Water

Wondering if anyone has experience with drinking lemon water daily? I read all the health benefits and there's quite a few claims. Anyone notice a difference?

I think a lot of the claims are wild exaggerations!

But I do like to have a hot water with a slice of lemon in it first thing - I find it helps my digestion.

Guess I don't notice anything I just like the flavor in the water for a change I also like adding cucumbers

This is a thing? I have always put a wedge of lemon in my water because I don't like water alone (and as a former soda addict, I like drinking something with flavor!). No miracles yet ;-)

I heard that drinking hot water w/ lemon is supposed to be very good for you. Also, green tea is very good for you too.

The benefits are is that lemons promote a healthy digestion system. Overall, I feel better just drinking water (average 10 to 12 glasses a day) which is great for the body as it releases toxins, bumps up your metabolism, etc. I do add freshly squeezed lemons (or limes) to give my water an extra kick.

I've been drinking lemon water in the morning for about a year. I have improved my diet and lifestyle at the same time so i can't really give any specific results for its benefits! Although i have read that it is the best way to alkalize the body. I think it cleanses the body first thing in the morning to help it function better through out the day!

I used to drink lemon water because I was cutting out soda and I needed something with flavor. I didn't notice any miracles lol... I just liked the taste.

i cut it up and put it in my water bottle, it tastes good, and lemons are extremely cheap, so whether it helps or not, I love it.

it's hard for me to isolate any health success I have to any one thing b/c I have changed so much of my lifestyle, it's ALL of it really

I have half a lemon in a cup of hot water every morning and night! supposedly it helps your metabolism and detox your system but i wouldnt know whether this is true or not.. it definitely helps with digestion and clear skin

Drinking water = good
Lemon is tasty = good
vitamin c = good

but when I see a website that sells items to "magnetize" your water along with extolling the miraculous properties of lemon water and quoting from a book ("Back to Eden" Jethro Kloss*) that is dubious at best tends to activate my inner skeptic.

Is it good for you? No doubt. Is it miraculous......not so much.

*Apparently Mr. Kloss was an admirer of Dr. Kellog; while many of us eat Kellog products many are unaware of the real reason he invented corn flakes

I'm not sure how many health benefits there are, but I've been drinking hot water, lemon juice and honey like crazy because I'm getting sick. It tastes good, so if it has health benefits then I'm even happier LOL

Im not exactly sure of all the benefits, however, I have started squeezing one full lemon into a bottle of water every morning, and I love it. I have just generally started drinking more water period, and I dont know if its the lemons, or the water or the combination, but I just generally feel bettter, crave less, and when I have a desire to binge, I drink lemon water! I'm already starting to see my self lean out and I can tell Im losing so of my jiggly bits as well!!! So either way my opinion is that Lemons are Great!!! Hope this helps

Ditto! I quit drinking pop 15 yrs ago and haven't had a sip since! I prefer water only and with wedge of lemon or a packet of true lemon. You can find them at the grocery store. They are convenient to take with you anywhere for tea or water!
