2) Clean your system/It is a diuretic. Lemon juice helps to wash away excess substances, in part because lemon can improve the speed of urination in the body. Therefore, the toxin is released faster, which helps to keep the urinary tract healthy. Citric acid in lemon helps to maximize the role of enzymes, thus stimulating the liver and helping to detoxify.
3) Enhance your immune system. Lemon has a high content of vitamin C, which is very suitable for resisting colds. They are rich in potassium and can stimulate brain and nerve functions. Potassium also helps to control blood pressure.

Iron plays an important role in immune function. Lemon also contains saponins, which have antibacterial properties and help prevent colds and flu. Lemon can also reduce the amount of phlegm produced by the human body.
4) balance the pH value. Lemon is one of the most alkaline foods in human body. Of course, they are acidic in themselves, but in our body, they are alkaline (once citric acid is metabolized, it will not be acidic in the body). Lemon contains citric acid and ascorbic acid, and weak acid is easily metabolized from the body, which makes the mineral content in lemon contribute to blood alkalization. Only when the pH value of human body is acidic, will the disease state appear. Drinking lemonade regularly can help eliminate the overall acidity in the body, including uric acid in joints, which is one of the main causes of pain and inflammation.
5) Clear the skin. Vitamin C and other antioxidants help to reduce wrinkles and spots, and help to resist the damage of free radicals. Vitamin C is essential for healthy glowing skin. Its alkalinity can kill some bacteria that are known to cause acne. In fact, it can be directly applied to scars or age spots to help reduce their appearance. Because lemonade can remove toxins from the blood, it can also help your skin to remove spots from the inside out. The vitamin C contained in lemon rejuvenates the skin in your body.
