For the preparation of lemon water, a liter of water is boiled briefly. Then it should cool down before the squeezed juice is added to half a lemon and the slices to the other half. If the water is still too hot, the healthy ingredients of the lemon such as potassium, calcium, vitamin C and pectin are partially destroyed. If the water is too cold, it can have an adverse effect on the digestive tract. In addition to the digestive and detoxifying effects of lemon water, there are also beneficial effects on the body's defenses, which are mainly attributed to the vitamin C contained in it. So should the lemon water, among other things, strengthen the immune system. Not least, the lemon water is also said to have a positive effect on the intestinal flora and the acid-base balance. Overall, the fruity morning drink therefore represents a very healthy alternative to the conventional cup of coffee. (Fp)
