ALERT! Drink Lemon Water but Avoid These Common Mistakes

1️⃣ Drinking Lemon Water on an Empty Stomach with Too Much Lemon

Why It’s a Problem: Excess acid can irritate the stomach lining, causing heartburn or gastritis.

Solution: Start with a small amount of lemon juice (½ lemon) diluted in a glass of water and see how your body reacts.

2️⃣ Using Hot Water That’s Too Boiling

Why It’s a Problem: Boiling water can destroy some of the beneficial vitamin C in lemon juice.

Solution: Use warm or room-temperature water to preserve nutrients.

3️⃣ Not Rinsing Your Mouth After Drinking

Why It’s a Problem: Lemon is acidic and can erode tooth enamel over time.

Solution: Drink through a straw if possible, and rinse your mouth with plain water afterward.

4️⃣ Adding Sugar or Sweeteners

Why It’s a Problem: Sugar counteracts the health benefits, spiking blood sugar and adding empty calories.

Solution: Enjoy lemon water plain or with a natural touch of honey (sparingly).

5️⃣ Overdoing It
