You go anywhere you want to; one advice that will never stop following you is that you drink water, loads and loads of water. Let’s add something new to it, let’s add lemon. Now one may ask, why lemon? Here is to why: first of all, it is rich in nutrients like vitamin C, B-complex, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and fibers. It is obvious that a lemon provides you a lot of nutrients, but unfortunately it is not possible to eat lemon sole, because of two reasons- it’s hard on your enamel, and the second one being it’s extremely sour in taste. Therefore, the alternative- lemon water.
Now, since we’ve accomplished the base, let us discuss the benefits of drinking lemon water.
#1 A boost to your immune system

Vitamin C is what we call the best shot for our immune system, and luckily it can be found in lemons, that too in a large amount. It is found that when we are stressed, the level of vitamin C plummets right down, which one can say is a fairly good time to have lemon water.
#2 Amazing source of potassium
As mentioned earlier, lemons are abundant in nutrients like potassium. A fair amount of lemon water intake means good heart health together with brain and nerves function.
#3 Helps our digestive system
