Water + Lemon , what so special about it?

[karmazyn1]

I see this more and more, people have big water bottles. They slice lemon and drop it in it. Lemon slices float in the bottle and people just drink the water.
Why people do this? Are lemons not waxed or sprayed with pesticedes? Will this not poison your body and mind?

[Castyles]

It has to do with... Removing toxins from the body. Apparently. Like Vitamin C or something.

No, it's just whack millennials being whack millennials. Advanced people like me drink lemon tea

if Lemon are waxed in pesticide so do all the fruits you eat are ... just clean your veggies and fruits before eating them and you'l be fine.

Probably one of those silly struggles to get beautiful skin and weight loss. Eating healthy and regular exercise to get good blood flow is the answer. Drinking a little bit of fruit or other things is pointless and expensive.

Apparently being obsessed with hydration is hip.

It is an easy way to add flavor to water and makes it more refreshing.

You rinse the lemon to remove any pesticide residue that was not washed off (washing is done by the farm, after picking). Any wax on fruit is food grade wax and safe for consumption, but can also be easily washed off as well.

You can add any fruit to enhance the flavor. There are also other things people have added, such as cucumber and/or mint leaves.

Oh yeah. I prefer cucumber.

Nah bro. Lemonade.

[RRW359]

Some people think it gives it flavor but I hate it. Either give me pure water or Lemonade. The slight Lemon taste is unbearable IMHO.

This actually applies to all water+Fruit combinations but as OP said Lemons are by far the most common.

Got any grapes?

Vitamin C and rehydrating electrolytes leach from the lemon slices into the water.

Tea dehydrates you with caffeine and the sugar in lemonade lowers vitamin C supplies through insulin production.

Then just eat the Lemon seperately.

This isn't a new thing. A lot of restaurants put a slice of lemon with your water. I happen to do this myself. But then again I like lemon. Also lime. You should remove the rind though. It adds a bitter taste after awhile.

I just use lemon juice or lime juice. Easier.

I can't eat the rind.

Then just eat the inside.
