I enjoy lemon by itself or on fish and other foods. It is rich in vitamin c. Drinking water with lemon juice in it is very refreshing. It is good in replacing electrolytes, many times better than sports drinks. This combination of lemon and water can also help lower the risk of asthma attacks. The flavonoids found in lemons and other citrus fruits can help in preventing cataracts in the eyes. This can also cut down on phosphorus as well as urinary calcium in the kidneys and can help to ease pressure on the kidneys and lower the chance of kidney stones developing. It can also help in lowering blood sugar levels, heart health, soothes sore throats, and helps you heal faster.

The acid can also mess up your teeth.

It's less stringent than lemonade or orange juice. "Watered down."

It's recommended to drink lemon water in the morning to help with those who are trying to lose weight. I would buy lemon juice that come in the glass bottles and dilute it with water if I could afford to buy it. It would get expensive, $5.00 a bottle and the bottle would last maybe a week. I couldn't justify it.

@celticeagle Also not recommended for long term use. I already buy ACV occasionally because I use it in cleaners.
I tried the ACV tsp thing and it's horrible.

@celticeagle , Oh , I knew it, since we have many variations in that I have not used that word as people add different type of spices and herbs in it to make it more effective and tasty! Thanks!

I drink water with a few drops of lemon in the morning in order to make my body PH basic or alkaline ( a lot of dieases are said to be associated with acidity) It's much cheaper than buying alkaline water.
A popular beliefs that lemon will make your stomach acidic is false because lemons are amphoteric, meaning they react both as basic or alkaine in order to balance ph.

I always like lemon water. But I dare not eat lemon alone. It's too sour.

I put lemon juice/slices in my water. I love the flavor and the benefits are numerous.
