Autumn is almost here, the dry weather will make many people choose to drink some lemon water to hydrate, but I would like to remind you here to pay attention to some lemon water taboos. Lemon water has many effects, but also many side effects. Especially for people with poor spleen and stomach, long time drinking lemon water will hurt the spleen and stomach, and nutrition can not be quickly digested, more than drink will also hurt teeth. So drink lemon water must be in moderation, the side effects are more harmful to the body than good for the body. Does lemon water also have side effects? If you use lemon water instead of plain water to quench your thirst, the water must be light when you make it. A large slice of lemon with skin soaked in 1 liter of water can be poured 3~4 small cups, usually brewed 2~3 times, when there is no lemon flavor to replace the new slice can be. This lemon water is not sour, not astringent, relatively fragrant and can be consumed without adding sugar or honey, and the energy contained is almost negligible. If you put more lemon slices, you need to add sugar or honey to help balance the acidity. Finally, it is important to note that lemonade tastes better with a little honey or sugar. However, lightly sweetened lemon water contains about 5% sugar, and a cup (200 g) of sweetened honey water contains 40 kcal of energy, so if you drink two cups, it is equivalent to eating 1/4 bowl of rice, so people who need to control their weight should limit it. In addition, people with excess stomach acid can drink lemon water just by soaking it as light as possible, because a small amount of citric acid is good for gastric mucosa repair. For people with indigestion, adding a thin slice of ginger to light lemon water and drinking it with meals is also good for promoting digestive juices. Light lemon water without sugar contains no sodium and almost no energy, but contains potassium, a small amount of vitamin C and a small amount of flavonoids, which is suitable for daily consumption by chronic patients with high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and gout. 3 big misconceptions about drinking lemon water 1, bubble thicker good lemon water must be light, a piece of lemon with skin bubble a zigzag water, can pour 3 to 4 cups. This lemon water is not very strong acidity, without adding sugar or honey can drink, so that the energy contained in lower. The lemon must be thinly sliced, because the skin contains higher flavonoids, which may be worth more than the flesh of the lemon. Lemon peels, including other citrus peels, contain some bitter flavonoid substances, such as hesperidin, naringin and the like, but they are also beneficial ingredients. There is a little bit of light bitterness, and acidity to go with the hot day, drink after more thirst-quenching feeling. 2, can’t use hot water Some people say that lemons can’t be soaked in hot water for fear of vitamin C loss. In fact, the water for lemons can not be too cold, otherwise the fragrance bubble does not come out. As the lemon is more acidic, vitamin C in acidic conditions heat resistance is better, not as easy to lose, soak lemon slices of water temperature higher than 60 degrees is no problem. Besides, drinking lemon water is not just about the vitamin C. When the temperature rises, the acidity of the food will be stronger, so hot lemon water will seem more acidic. The solution to this problem is very simple, as long as the lemon water slightly cooled and then drink it can be. 3, will promote stones Some people say that lemon water can not eat with calcium-rich food, calcium and citric acid will combine into precipitation, and even generate stones in the body, this can be a rumor. Calcium citrate is slightly soluble in water, but the solubility of calcium citrate tetrahydrate is 0.02 grams/100 grams of water, which does not seem high, but calcium citrate is a good material for making calcium supplement products because it can be absorbed by the body without the help of stomach acid. In fact, citric acid does not promote kidney stones as oxalic acid does. On the contrary, organic acids such as citric acid are beneficial for the absorption of many minerals in food such as calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc, and studies have proven that citric acid is also beneficial for the prevention of kidney stones and has even been used in the treatment of kidney stones. Attention! Patients are warned that it is best not to drink cold beverages. Please try to choose the right temperature drink according to your body condition to prevent aggravation of the disease.
