In this video I'm going to talk about the benefits of lemons and the top mistakes people make when consuming lemon water.
It’s important to avoid pasteurized lemon juice because the heat used can destroy some of the benefits. Instead, consume lemon juice squeezed from organic lemons or blend whole organic lemons.
Top potential benefits of lemons and limes:

• They’re high in vitamin C and may help reduce the symptoms of vitamin C deficiency and scurvy
• They have an antihistamine effect
• They have anti-fungal properties
• They can help reduce uric acid
• They can help increase iron absorption

2. Not diluting it with water and not using a straw
