Lemon water is a low-calorie beverage that can be enjoyed either hot or cold, made from water mixed with fresh lemon juice. It is often claimed to have various health benefits, including improving digestion, enhancing focus, and increasing energy levels. While there is no evidence to suggest that lemon water has any more benefits for weight loss than plain water, it can help promote satiety and fullness, which may decrease calorie intake and lead to weight loss. Drinking more water, with or without lemon, may have other weight loss benefits. Lemon water is generally a very low-calorie beverage, with each glass of lemon water containing just six calories assuming you squeeze the juice from half a lemon into water. If you swap out higher-calorie beverages like orange juice and soda for lemon water, then this can be an excellent way to cut calories and help with weight loss. However, there is no evidence to suggest that lemon water can specifically target belly fat. Ginger can improve digestion and reduce inflammation, while the citric acid in lemon can help break down fat. The high vitamin C content in lemons can also boost metabolism, but there is no evidence to suggest that lemon water can specifically target belly fat.
