2) HOW DOES IT ALKALYZE IF LEMON IS ACID
In fact, the lemon itself is acidic, once taken, however, during the metabolization that takes place inside the body, the situation changes and the citric acid oxidizes free basic substances. This is why lemon is actually considered an alkalizing fruit.

Lemon water is a recommended drink every day, there is no need to interrupt especially if the practice pleases and is bearing fruit in terms of new energy, detoxified body, resolution of small ailments, etc.
4) AFTER HOW LONG TO HAVE BREAKFAST?
It is generally recommended to have breakfast 15-30 minutes after drinking lemon water so that this "morning shower" can do its best. On an organizational level, the best thing is to prepare the drink as soon as you wake up, take it, then wash yourself, get dressed, etc. and finally prepare breakfast and eat. In this way the necessary time passes effortlessly.
5) CAN SUGAR BE ADDED?
No, sugar is absolutely forbidden as it would interrupt the purifying and detoxifying action of the lemon. Other natural sweeteners, including honey, are also not recommended because they make the drink sweeter but at the same time less effective at the aforementioned functions.
6) CAN YOU ALSO DRINK IN CASE OF GASTRITIS?
Some people, despite gastritis, still take lemon water and experience benefits. Generally, however, it is best avoided since in most cases the lemon is poorly tolerated and could worsen the symptoms. Alternatively, it is better to choose a soothing herbal tea such as mallow.
7) THE WATER MUST BE WARM FORCE
To obtain benefits it is very important that the water is lukewarm because in this way the body can metabolize the drink more easily. If the water is cold, in fact, it must first bring it to the right temperature and then carry out all the purification processes.

The greatest benefits are found by drinking water and lemon in the morning on an empty stomach but if this is not possible for reasons of personal management, the alternative is to take it about twenty minutes before lunch.
9) THE DRINK IS TOO HARSH FOR ME, WHAT TO DO?
If you are not used to or do not like the taste of lemon very much, you can try to gradually increase the quantity starting from just one teaspoon. However, a lemon is the maximum dose that should not be exceeded.
10) CAN I ONLY USE SQUEEZED LEMON WITHOUT WATER?
Better not! The lemon alone can be much more aggressive in some subjects and the water serves not only to dilute it but also to make the purifying effect more effective.

In principle, lemon water does not interfere with drugs, but it is always recommended to ask your doctor for advice.
