This Winter, Start Your Day With Refreshing Lemon Water; Know Its Benefits

ITDC INIDA EPRESS/ ITDC NEWS: We are gradually moving towards winter. You can already feel the air outside getting chilly. Winter mornings are generally characterised with a mandatory cup of steaming tea or coffee. For some, the day starts with a cup of bed tea before indulging in any kind of activity. Both tea and coffee contain an element called caffeine, which gives instant energy to people, but its excessive consumption is harmful. So, is there any substitute to the typical tea and coffee in the morning? The answer is yes. You can start consuming lemon water as your morning drink.

According to Kamini Sinha, founder and dietician of Diet Mantra, Noida, lemon is rich in Vitamin C, which strengthens immunity. Consumption of lemon is beneficial in every season. However, when the weather becomes cold, you can tweak the way you drink it. Due to the cooling nature of lemon, it is beneficial to drink it mixed with lukewarm water in winters.

Dietitian Kamini says that drinking lemon water in winter strengthens immunity and boosts metabolism. You can also have lemon by sprinkling it on your food. This will also benefit the body. However, people who are allergic to lemon should not consume it. You can also consult a doctor or dietician in this regard.

Drinking lemon water twice a day strengthens immunity and can provide relief from cold, cough and sore throat. Drinking lemon water in the morning removes toxic elements from the body and reduces the fat accumulated in the body. Lemon water proves to be very helpful in weight loss.

Lemons’ citric acid may be able to prevent kidney stones.Contrary to popular belief, citrate, a constituent of citric acid, lowers urine’s acidity and may even help dissolve tiny stones.

In addition to other medications for kidney stone prevention, the National Kidney Foundation recommends a supplemental dietary therapy of combining 4 ounces of concentrated lemon juice with water.
