Is there is any evidence to back up the claims that drinking warm lemon water in the morning can improve digestion? Let’s science it. First we need to define lemon water. Generally it is about 8oz of water mixed with the juice of ½ a lemon, usually about 2 tbsp. This is around 20% of your daily vitamin C requirement. 2 tablespoons is a negligble source of other nutrients, both beneficial minerals like potassium and nutrients we tend to over consume like sugar and calories. There are health claims all over the internet saying that lemon water aids in digestion, but these claims are always super vague - it sounds good, but what does it actually mean? Does it make enzymes work better? Optimize pH for digestion? Alter gut motility? Drinking enough water is certainly necessary for all bodily functions, including gut motility and preventing constipation. But there’s no evidence that the lemon part of lemon water impacts any measureable aspect of digestion. There are lots of other claims stating that lemon water aids in detoxification. Everytime that I see claims about detox, my science spidey sense always asks what toxins specifically? Most detox claims never reference what toxins are being eliminated. Our liver and kidneys are specialized for detoxifying our blood from metabolic breakdown products like ammonia. Sufficient water intake is necessary for liver and kidney function, but again there’s no evidence that the lemon part of lemon water is doing anything. If your liver and kidneys aren’t functioning well then more intensive treatments than lemon water are needed. For those susceptible to kidney stones, studies have shown that lemon water can be an alternative treatment to potassium citrate supplements since it contains citric acid. If this applies to you, talk to your personal doctor. There’s no evidence that the temperature of lemon water has any impacts, apart from avoiding scalding heat that would damage your mouth and throat. Temperature is a matter of personal preference. So overall there is no evidence that drinking lemon water improves digestion or aids in detoxification, but does that mean you shouldn’t drink it? No, not necessarily. Drinking water is critical for health, so if the citrus flavour of lemon water helps you drink more water then it could be a healthy habit to get into. Lemon water is certainly a healthier beverage choice than soda or energy drinks. If drinking lemon water becomes a regular part of your routine, you’ll want to take a few precautions for dental health. Lemon water is very acidic, so you don’t want to be bathing your teeth in it all day because it can erode tooth enamel and increase risk of cavities. You could aim to drink lemon water when eating because you’ll be producing more saliva which acts as a buffer. You could also rinse with plain water or drink through a reuseable straw to reduce contact with teeth. Lemon water can be a tasty way to increase water consumption, so if you like it, drink it. That’s what science tastes like. Images Photo by Julia Zolotova from Pexels
