The 10 amazing lemon water benefits! What if I told you there was an inexpensive drink that keeps your skin healthy, helps your digestion, is packed with Vitamin C, and can help you lose a little weight…
No, this isn’t a late night infomercial pedaling some magic elixir. This is The Health Nerd, and I’m talking about Lemon Water.
Today I’m going to cover:
A little background about lemons, 10 health benefits, and how to make it.
Lemons were originally cultivated at around 500 B.C. in northern India and have been used for centuries for their many health benefits. They really came to shine though in the mid-18th century for their high vitamin C levels, which helped to prevent scurvy.
Fun fact: The demand was so high for lemons in the United States that people were willing to pay $1 per lemon in 1849. That’s roughly $31.25 per lemon, today.
Thankfully you won’t be paying NEAR that much and here’s the top 10 scientific reasons why you should be drinking lemon water…
1. Helps with Digestion
Lemon water has a citric acid that interacts with the enzymes of your body to produce health liver bile. This helps to keep food moving smoothly through your system.
2. Helps keep Skin Healthy and Clear
Lemon water is LOADED with vitamin C and thus, many antioxidants. These fight damage done by free radicals to keep your skin looking fresh. The vitamin c also keeps the body producing natural collagen essential to keeping skin young and healthy looking.
3. Can help with weight loss
Sipping on lemon water throughout your day can help you shed a few pounds as well. Lemon water contains pectin fiber, which helps to fight hunger cravings and keeps you more satiated from your meals.
4. Give the Immune System a Boost
The high vitamin C in lemons and the small amount of potassium will help protect you from catching that cold that’s going around the office. You can also drink it before traveling for some added protection.
5. Boosts your metabolism
Not directly through the lemons per se, but the added water has been shown to boost body’s natural metabolism by 30%.
6. Naturally detoxifying and cleansing
Lemon water helps to stimulate the liver and flush out harmful toxin buildup. This will ensure that you have better nutrient absorption from your food and get more out of the foods you eat.
7. Can help you cut down on caffeine
Many people use warm lemon water to help cut out their morning coffee intake. While there’s nothing wrong with coffee… this process many help you feel more refreshed and help you fight the afternoon crash.
8. Helps fight viral infections like sore throats
If you’re in the unfortunate position of having a sore throat just remember that warm lemon water is a great solution to help you fight off the infection.
9. Helps protect against the damages of high stress levels
When we are stressed, the hormone cortisol gets secreted into the body and can cause all sorts of problems if around for too long. Thankfully the vitamin C in lemon water stops cortisol in its tracks and will help minimize the damage.
10. Adds to your daily water intake for the day
We all know the importance of drinking a good amount of water throughout the day. Well, having lemon water will help add to your daily total of water keeping your body healthy and happy.
So if you’re ready to try some…Here’s how to make it:
Add juice from ½ lemon into 8oz of lukewarm water and drink. Avoid using HOT water, because it kills off the active enzymes in lemons.
Also, use a straw when possible, because concentrated lemon juice can wear down tooth enamel. The best time to drink it is first thing in the morning right when you wake up. This will help give you clean energy and is a great way to start your day.

I've lost some weight watching your videos
Same! Just bought his weight loss guide and I'm on day 2 already lost 2 lbs of fat. Just seeing the numbers drop on the scale every day makes me happy
Squeezing half a lemon in your black coffee is an immediate cure for a headache! I never believed it untill I tried it several times, it also improve s your mood and it's also a great cure for a hangover!
Never tried it... how does the coffee end up tasting?
I'm really confused :'(
Do we brush our teeth first and then drink it. Or do we drink lemon water first and then wait a while (15 mins) to brush our teeth? I've always brushed my teeth first thing in the morning. It's a habit ingrained into me.
like sour coffee 😐 but hey ho it's meant to be taken as a medicine .. and it's Ok for meds not to taste good 👍
@@samistrawberry1 you should brush ur teeth first, because of the lefover bacteria from the night before (ik this is 2yrs later, but might help if someone new (like myself) reads this in the future)
@@ljiljanablanusa962 Damn aha I can't even remember commenting this. But I think I kinda guessed that to be the reason now.
Awesome video man, i've been drinking lime water for a few weeks now and i can't exaggerate the great effects it's had.
Boom! Lemon water is incredible for your health and making it is simple.
Some extra tips not found in the video: Try a little ginger for added detox and flavor boost, drink after your workouts because the high concentration of Vitamin C will lower your post workout cortisol levels, and squeeze the lemon juice into an empty cup BEFORE adding water so you can easily get the seeds out (the clog up the straw).

The Health Nerd can i add green tea also?
The Health Nerd Last researches said that is quite useless to improve the health... What do you think about? (Sorry for my bad english) :)
But I thought the acid was hella bad for your teeth and make then more sensitive.
The Health Nerd is it ok if I drink only the lemon juice without the water?

Sincerely, a new subscriber.
The reason why I have believed so many of the statements you've made in your video is because you have provided substantial information and sources in your video. Thank you so much for sharing your information backed with a little study ;)
what about lime water?? will it give similar benefits?
Same exact benefits. Most people like the taste of lemon water better, but it's the same.
essentially yes they are the same, but they do have slight differences, especially in their essential oils
Thank u all for replying my comment
This channel is awesome!
I'm drinking lemon water while watching this… 😂

If I add lemon to my green tea would I have a super drink? Lol. Just came from your green tea benefits video.
Also, is it bad that I add half a snall spoon of honey to it? I'm trying to lose weight.
It tastes bad
I love you Health neard!
"The Health Nerd is a dreamboat."
Im trying to give up smoking, and hear constipation is a common side-effect and lemon water in the morning and nights can help. I guess thats part of your first point, digestion, but definitely worth noting for anyone else whose new years resolution is to quit smoking. Plus the detoxifying and stress blocking is also a bonus
How did it go??
MrDoobious did u make it
thank you, will be adding lemon water to my diet.
I Love lemon water my Grandma and Aunt always tell me about the health benefits. I will have to show them this video!😁
Hi The Health Nerd.

Thanks so much! Can you have the same benefits by adding lemon or any citrus essential oil to your water bottle?
Great!
Great I do every morning sir
Do u have a video on that honey and cinnamon drink?
thanks Nerd
Anytime Russ
I just watched your video on lemon water and the video on acv. Thank you I like watching your videos, they're great . Have you done a comparison video? Acv vs lemon water? Is there any science behind which is better or is it person preference.
I just subscribed 🇮🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Been doing this for a while :) yay for lemon
Can i mixed it with cold water?
Hey! Can you make a video about UVA&UVB? Which one is healthy, which one is dangerous, what is the best time for sun bathing? I need vitamin D but I don't want to get skin cancer, obviously.
Ty
U are great 👍🏻
Had no idea abouth the straw trick. The dental dangers!! Makes lot of sense though. I recently startet making my own gingershots that i take every morning. Might be an idea for a video and you can probaly make them better than me :).
Haha thanks Jesper. Yeah, definitely got to protect that enamel. :)
i love it, help cut down on caffeine lvl . sign me up
Awesome! Thanks for watching btw :)
Hi, drink lemon juice in the mornings it's not going to affect while I am intermited fasting?
Thank you I love your videos:)
Can you make a video on activated charcoal please? Is it a good thing to drink in the morning? Is it save? Whats the benefits?
I looooove you videos
Been doing this for a year, lime with lukewarm water in the morning on empty stomach. I can confirm to you all, it helps with digestion, yes more energy and plenty of other benefits mentioned in this video. I can't leave without it now, I even travel with my lime. Make it a habit, slowly you will see the benefit. And yes, use a straw or do it before brushing yr teeth. The most noticeable part is yr stool become soft and you go for no 2 much more easy and on regular basis.
so I've been binge watching and I was wondering if I could add lemon AND apple cider vinegar to my water?
@The Health Nerd - so what is better at the morning? Water with lemon or water with apple cider vinegar? I'm drinking both variably; often to lemon water i put my fav ginger and cinnamon. Cheers.
What about doing the lemon infused water? Does that provide the same benefits?
In this Coffee around World video I watched they squeezed half a lemon over ice and poured in some coffee. I think after this video I’ll give that drink a try.
Hey ! First I want to say thanks for all those amazing videos you make, I'm trying to lose weight myself (through both nutrition and training) and I thought I'd go with intermittent fasting for my nutrition plan (which seems pretty effective so far).
My concern is as following :
I skip breakfast for my intermittent fasting and workout in the early morning to make sure that I extract my energy from my fat cells, so I try to ensure that I have no caloric input before my workout (I know green tea and coffee are good caloric-free options), but in this video (and in many others places I've read and heard) it says that lemon water should be taken right after waking up. Is there any caloric input by taking water lemon in the morning ? And if so, is it considerable enough to compromise the purpose of intermittent fasting ? I know the quantity you're suggesting in the video is not that much but I just thought this is something worth taking into account.
Again, many many thanks for your content ! Keep on rocking it :D
Health nerd Question for you--Is green tea better or lemon water?
I saved lives today! Puppy lives!!
I just watched your green tea video, so do i drink lemon water or green tea when I wake up?
Do you have a video or a recommendation on how to start a healthy diet for someone with very poor dietary habits?
*Your conclusions are so funny!*
I should mix lemon Pisces and water or lemon juice and water which one is right for health please let me know?
Thanks
Question..here in Guatemala lemons which we call limones amarillos(yellow lemon) are rarely available and when they are they are very expensive.. What we do have in large amounts is what I think you guys call lime (green and round) the kind you put in your tacos. I've always wondered if I can substitute the yellow lemon with the lime?? Would it have the same benefits?
May you make a video about how macronutrients and metabolism affect one’s body fat %????
Hey Health Nerd!!! Can you post a video on how to lose extra skin after weight loss??
I drink lemon water with 🍯:D
Love all
Would you mind if I translated this video and post it on my facebook page???
how does lemon help fighting throat infections
any science behind that if you plz refer me to any links
do we should do a water diet?
Will room temperature be ok or does it really have to be warm?
Can I add collagen powder in my lemon water ?
Can you use pure lemon essential oil instead?
Will it be the same of I just drink straight lemon juice like squeeze it out of the lemon and drink it?
Can you drink this as well as apple cider vinegar. Just saw that video too. Or should you just stick to one or the other
Awesome insight. Do you think it would be ok to add Apple Cider Vinegar to 8 oz. of lemon water w/ ginger for an extra boost. or will this over complicate things.
L.K.
Is it the same as lemonade? (without sugar) I always drink lemonade with a pinch of stevia powder
Should green tea be served at certain temperatures?
can we mix lemon and ginger with water as a morning drink
Do a video for Cucumber Water :)
does lime do the same effect
Could you research and do a video of foods that cause inflammation. I think they call them night shades? Is there something to them causing inflammation?
I'll look into it! Thanks for the suggestion Jonathan.
can you make a same video for lime? :-)
In switzerland one limone costs about 1CHF
Does this still work if you use lemon juice concentrate? I typically use the "ReaLemon" brand
hey i drink only from mine 2,3 liter bottle , should i put a half lemon into that? or is it too much water ? ( should u only drink one glass lemon water a day?)
And I thought people were drinking this for the taste. Never tried it warm before, I'm going to test that out.
How'd it go Kelly? Thanks for watching!
Please make a video about honey ... Really wish to know if it's good fir my body or not ??
Is it also good to drink cold lemon water?
can I store lime water in the fridge and drink in intervals?...will it work the same?
can you combine apple cider vinegar with leamon? or will they negate each other?
canu please guide on intermediate fasting? and is it feasable to do if im on weight loss for a 1200 calorie meal per day?
how many times a day should i drink it?
Is lemon the same as green lime?
I always thought lemon is yellow
Can we use lemon juice (pure) to reduce weight? If so, how to make it? And how to drink it?
How long should it take you to eat after taking lemon water
🍋👍true
do limes have the same benefits ? i prefer the lime taste .
I adore lemon water. Scrub clean the lemons and then pop in a bag and put into the freezer. Each day grab a lemon and grate the whole thing and put as much as you want into a big jug of water and drink through out the day.
How about with cold water, same effect with lukewarm water? And do i have to let it sit for a while before i drink it?
what is the temperature of like warm water is that room temperature
Is it Okay to drink it in noon or dinner time ?
