The so-called “lemon diet” has become much more popular in recent years, especially among those seeking natural remedies to detoxify their body, lose weight, and improve their overall well-being.
It is a simple protocol that lasts only 14 days and is based on the daily consumption of lemon juice diluted in water, with gradually increasing dosages.
Why lemon?
Lemon is a citrus fruit with well-known beneficial properties. It is rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and citric acid and can help:
Stimulate digestion
Support the liver in its cleansing functions
Fight free radicals
Improve hydration, in combination with adequate water intake.
According to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition (2008), regular consumption of lemons and physical exercise can have a positive effect on the accumulation of fat in the body of overweight people (source).
