Lemons is packed with nutrients such as vitamin C which can help to improve your immune function.

Lemon water stimulates the lymphatic system to remove the toxins accumulated in your internal organs. A glass of lemon water in the morning also helps start the day on a hydrated note, which is beneficial as a dehydrated body can’t perform all of it’s proper functions, which leads to toxic buildup, stress, constipation, etc.

The nutrients and antioxidants in lemons can help improve your skin health. Because the lemon juice detoxifies inside your body, this will also help with your skins appearance, as what is happening inside matches your outside. The high levels of vitamin C in lemons also increase collagen production, which helps smooth and firm skin and prevents premature wrinkles.
