3. Weight Control
Lemons have a long history of being promoted as a weight-loss fruit, and there are many theories about their ability to fight calories. Regardless, adding a squirt of lemon can help make vegetables more palatable.
One common popular belief claims that drinking hot water with lemon juice can help with weight loss. This belief doesn’t have much direct research, but there is some evidence showing that certain polyphenols in lemons can help reduce the build-up of adipose tissue in the body.4‘Lemon Polyphenols Suppress Diet-induced Obesity By Up-regulation Of Mrna Levels Of the Enzymes Involved in Beta-oxidation in Mouse White Adipose Tissue.’ PubMed, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19015756.
