Lemonade is often considered a healthy drink, especially for those who want to lose weight. In the morning, the habit of squeezing lemon in lukewarm water on an empty stomach has become a part of the routine of many people. It is believed that it removes toxins from the body and improves digestion and helps reduce fat. But do you know that drinking lemonade daily can cause some harm? If it is drunk wrongly or in large quantities, it can harm health instead of benefits. Therefore, it is important to know how to consume lemonade properly.
Lemon is rich in vitamin C, antioxidants and citric acid. It is helpful in strengthening the immune system, enhancing the skin and keeping the stomach light. But its acidic nature can be harmful to some people. Especially, lemonade on an empty stomach can be harmful for people who have any problem related to acidity, gas or stomach. This can cause problems like stomach irritation, vomiting or acid reflux.
Apart from this, drinking lemonade daily can also harm the upper layer of teeth. The acid present in lemon can weaken the teeth surface, which can increase sensitivity in the teeth and also lead to cavity. Therefore, after drinking lemonade, please rinse plain water in the mouth so that the effect of acid is reduced.
Now let’s talk about the right way. First of all, drink lemonade mixed with lukewarm water, avoid very cold or hot water. If you have a problem of gas or acidity, it is better to drink it after breakfast. Drinking honey or a pinch of black salt increases both its taste and properties. Lemonade is enough once a day, drinking frequently can increase the acidity in the body, which can cause stomach discomfort.
Remember that lemonade is not a magic that will reduce weight alone. Along with this, balanced diet, regular exercise and good sleep are also necessary. If you are struggling with a health problem or taking any medicine, it would be better to consult a doctor before starting lemonade. So next time you go to drink lemonade, understand both its advantages and disadvantages and consume it properly, so that it becomes a boon for your body, not the burden.
