I have started slicing up lemon and lime to put in my water. I have to say ever since I have started doing that I feel really good about myself and feel healthier, less bloated etc.

    Definitely helps with bloating, lemon water gets rid of the salt in your body which can cause bloating, I make a pitcher of purified watered, 1 lemon, 1 cucumber and some ginger drink it with every meal, it makes me feel a lot better too, and gets rid of the excess water my body tends to hold.

    Tastes nice

    That's it

    No magic or additional benefit, unless you were previously dehydrated and now aren't because it tastes nice

    Yeah it's a great thirst quencher! I like to flavor my water with cucumber and mint, or muddled berries as well. Yum :)

    No real benefit. If it helps you drink more water, go for it.

    Having a large glass of warm water with half squeezed lemon and some stevia is how I start my day. It really helps 'get things going'.

    water is a great diuretic.

    the fruit you put in it has no effect, other than maybe making it taste better lol

    (doctors really aren't as smart as they think they are ;) )

    I make a half gallon of lemon water every day, keep it on my counter, and try to drink it all. I feel better, and less bloated too. I dropped a couple of pounds when I started doing this, and I'm sure it's water weight. I just don't like plain water, and the lemon really helps.

    Just understand that the lemon-lime water does not help weight loss, beyond increasing water intake. However, if it keeps you mindful and focused, so be it! More power to you.
