Lemon is in the spotlight as an antioxidant food containing vitamin C, vitamin P, and vitamin B groups as well as various minerals such as iron, magnesium, potassium, and calcium.
Recently, organic lemon juice products have been released one after another on the market, making it easier to consume lemons. Consumption is increasing in that it can be used in various forms such as salad dressing, tea, high balls, and lemonade as well as lemon water.
Vitamins in lemons prevent aging and diseases with excellent antioxidant effects. Potassium in lemons regulates blood pressure and expels toxins and waste products. It is known to help relieve inflammation through antibiotics. It also contains pectin, which strengthens blood vessels, which has the effect of lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease. Citric acid, which tastes sour, is also known to be good for removing waste and reducing the risk of kidney stones. In addition, antioxidants and vitamin C promote collagen production, helping keep the skin elastic and healthy.
However, since lemon is highly acidic, drinking it on an empty stomach can stimulate the stomach wall and cause heartburn. If you have reflux esophagitis, you should avoid it. In addition, there is a risk of corroding tooth enamel, so it is recommended to rinse your mouth with water after consumption.
