Timing is everything with lemon water. Drinking it first thing in the morning is believed by many to kickstart digestion and detoxify the body. However, drinking lemon water on an empty stomach can increase acid levels leading to heartburn or irritation.
Tip: If you’re susceptible to acidic foods, try drinking lemon water after meals to buffer the acid or start with a weaker dilution.
3. Not Using Fresh Lemons
Reaching for pre-squeezed lemon juice or concentrates is a common shortcut, but these often contain preservatives and lack many of the natural enzymes and flavonoids found in fresh lemons.
Tip: Always opt for fresh lemons to squeeze into your water. Not only do they offer better flavor, but they also provide more of the beneficial nutrients lemon water is loved for.
