Also, consider drinking lemon water before traveling on a plane, because the large exposure to bacteria and people puts the immune system at even more risk.

(3). Hydrates the body: guys I can't stress enough about hydration. Water is very very important to our bodies, it not only helps in flushing of toxins and wast from our bodies, it doesn't have any calories in it, it's just God's given gift to us all. Most of the population is in a constant state of dehydration because they don’t drink enough water.
A glass of lemon water will help with hydration needs because it is 95% water 5% lemon juice.
Warm or cold, it’s a simple as squeezing 1/4 – 1/2 of a lemon into a glass of water, stirring, and drinking it. This way you can get your vitamin C, your antioxidants, and a healthy glass of water for hydration.
Water is so incredibly important for your health and well-being! The lemon gives it a great and refreshing flavour if you feel drinking plain water is boring, the lemon would make it more interesting. Dehydration is very dangerous, more dangerous than we perceive. Dehydration leads to constipation, dull skin, tiredness, toxin build up, dull eyes, dry skin. Water is very important, I go on water fasts once in two weeks. I take only water with lemon and ginger. It's a great way to detoxify your body. You not only lose those annoying belly fats, but you get the chance to clean you body..

(4). Boosts Brain Function
Lemons also contain potassium, which is responsible for better brain function and health.
You will experience better mental performance, less brain fog, and overall better feelings from the consumption.
Getting this added boost will increase productivity and happiness throughout the day.

(5)Fights Cancer: Doctors would advise every cancer ♋ patient to quit foods with sugars or high in carbohydrates.
Vitamin C and the antioxidants in lemons help to heal your wounds and protect you from getting colds, but they also have a very powerful long-term effect.
The nutrients found in lemons can help fight free radicals and contain 22 cancer-fighting compounds to lower the risk of developing serious diseases.
It’s the consumption of sugars specifically that puts our bodies at a greater risk for cancer. In such case it's best you have hot lemon water, boil a cup of water squize in your lemon and put the skin in to, why? Because the skin of the lemon contains higher and the most amounts of the vitamins. All the goodness of your lemon is on the skin. This works wonders, with faith and prayers.

(6). Diabetes and Heart Disease Prevention:
Having a diet rich in fruits and vegetables has long been associated with reduced risk of obesity, diabetes, heart diseases, and other diseases that stem from unhealthy diets.
Cutting out processed foods and consuming more nutrient-rich foods like fruits and vegetables will help prevent these types of heart problems.
Lemons are so healthy that they made it onto the list of the 23 healthiest foods on our planet . Remember that when making any health-related decision, the long-term impacts are just as important regardless of how far off they seem.
Potential dangerous diseases like diabetes and heart disease are just another reason why you should be consuming more lemon water. Health is wealth remember!.
