Experts reveal what you should know about the lemon water trend that social media users have been touting. Read more about the advantages and disadvantages of lemon water.
Lemon water seems to be quite the craze on social media lately — but is the citrus-infused concoction really a boon for your health? 'Drinking lemon water is currently being encouraged by several social media influencers,' April Wiles, a North Carolina-based registered dietitian and owner of thegenxdietitian.com, told Fox News Digital. 'Many are claiming it promotes weight loss, improves skin, helps with digestion and balances the body's pH levels,' she added.
Lemon water is great for promoting adequate hydration,' said Wiles. 'Lemons add flavor to water, which can make it an enjoyable alternative to sugar-sweetened beverages,' she said. For those who want a sweeter version, Wiles suggested adding a little stevia or monk fruit. Along with a healthy squeeze of lemon, Rachael Richardson, a registered dietitian nutritionist and owner of nutrolution.com in Raleigh, North Carolina, advised considering growing and adding fresh basil or mint to water. Or, she said, brew some ginger, turmeric or green tea to create your own anti-inflammatory electrolyte water. 'Be creative and go with your gut, and don't forget to choose real mineral water not kept in plastic to start with the healthiest water possible,' she said.
