The REAL reason to drink lemon water .... interesting video

[Dominic]

I take your point Dominic, and your correct, you should only listen to your doctor re meds, but when someone makes such extreme claims, ( it reminded me of the old Snake oil salesman claims) then its only right for people to warn others about the false claims.

What is extreme about the claims made?

Note though, it is boring compared to Max's short film.

A Cypriot once told me that Zirvania had many medicinal benefits. He brought me a bottle to try & my impression was if you could drink this you would survive almost everything

How can you possibly trust the "information" offered in a website that tells you just about how to cure any problem that you may or may not have?

The article had citations to back up the claims. Why don't you try reading them before getting all pompous.

Here's an example.

That's from a government site.

How do we know that the claims are false? They may well be true.

If so many people drink lemon water, without seeing this video, it strikes me that it could either be, that it just tastes pleasant, or that basic instinct is telling you to drink it, who knows. Whatever, I always feel more refreshed after drinking it.

Back the claims up with medical test data, simple, drinking lemon water will not lower anyones cholestoral or liver fat , fact , but please feel free to show us some data supporting it, as i said i drink cold tonic water with fresh lemon, it refreshes me, that's all.

Come on Dominic , what's with the pompous bit?, everyone knows eating fruit and vegetables is good for you, but the video we are discussing was making claims that drinking lemon water will lower cholesterol and liver fat ,

[Dominic]

Hang on. You asked where all the data was. I produced an article choc full of citations from Scientific studies on Government sites, and you haven't even bothered to look at them?

I read them, no where did i see lemon with water gets rid of cholesterol and fatty liver problems

[Dominic]

You didn't read them very well.

Plant compounds found in lemons — namely hesperidin and diosmin — have also been found to lower cholesterol (7Trusted Source, 8Trusted Source, 9).

This made me laugh out loud - love it



There is an “old wives tale” that a warm glass of water and lemon juice is good for the system helps you loose weight !!! I’d drank first thing in the morning

Not everybody's metabolism is the same- so all this scientific analysis may not actually benefit certain individuals- as we are all so different
My grandmother as an example, lived until she was well into her 90s and had been a heavy smoker all her life- and enjoyed a glass of whisky every night before going to bed. Unbelievably, she used to make the best "Apple pies" but other than that, never eat any other fruit whatsoever, nor had a fruit bowl adorning her sideboard or table.

However, she did used to make a lot of home made soups particularly with carrots, red lentils, potatoes, swede and vegetable stock in her pressure cooker and that simple recipe was passed down to her immediate family and I also make her "brown soup" as we used to call it, today especially in Winter time as its like a thick broth and her secret ingredient was also to add a teaspoon of Marmite to the pot before serving

One of the other items in her diet she used to enjoy regularly was "beef dripping" which she used to wallop onto some crusty home made bread!
So when I think of how she lived to such a ripe old age it makes me chuckle

Back to the topic: I always produce ice cubes from lemon juice in times when plenty fruits are on my trees to use them in high summer, when there are no lemons around. The imported ones from other continents taste very different and are expensive then...

The lemons here in the UK are awful, but even so, I still drink lemon juice first thing.

You can't beat a lemon straight off the tree in Cyprus. There used to be a large lemon tree in Polis, on open scrub land, my OH and I used to pick them regularly.

[cyprusmax47]

30 years ago I did organic farming near Latchi and had beside 100 Mineola Fruit trees also some lemon trees which fruits tasted ever so good...
I also tried the Verdelli process where one can produce lemons ready in high summer to harvest when you stop watering the tree for 4 weeks in July.
The next year I had fruits early August when nobody had any....
