"Myths of Lemon Juice!" WHAT IS THE REAL BENEFIT?

There are many different believes about lemon juice that just have not been scientifically proved to solve those problems. I have heard that lemon juice gives us great improvements in digestion, dissolving sugar absorption also building a better, stronger immune system— these do not have enough scientific proves to be sure and reliable. One of my favorite myths about lemon juice is squeezing lemon juice on chicken can dissolve layers of fats (only if there is thick layer of fat) – but to be honest, this myth has not been proved enough. It is too bad because every time I eat some heavy meal with meat, I feel a little bit better just because of the thought that less fat will be saturated in my body. Ingredients contain acid like lemon juice, however, are used in marinades for making meat softer and poultry by breaking down collagen, a fibrous component that helps in forming connective tissue.

A second belief that is often be on discussion around is that when lemon juice is mixed with cold or warm water it will break down fats in your body. Again, this does not happen metabolically, but drinking lots of water (cold or lukewarm; temperature does not really matter) will keep you hydrated.

The Benefits of Lemon Juice: 

Lemon juice does have a lot benefits. It has great source of vitamins specially vitamin C, which strengthen your immune system, assists with iron absorption and helps your body produce more collagen. Lemons also contain the antioxidant limonene, which has been shown that it helps preventing certain formations of cancer, however more research is required to support the fact. Lemon juice is also a low-calorie drink and is has many recipes to make juice with different flavors.

Thus, if you love lemon juice, Go for it! Although it will not cut off pounds of your weight, it is a tasty and healthy way to drink with food.
