Is it OK to drink lemon water and sunbathe?

Lemon is a common fruit and is also cheap, but many people do not like the sour taste of lemon. In fact, lemon has many functions, so drinking lemon water regularly has many benefits. In particular, lemon has the effect of preventing diseases. You can drink more lemon water in the summer. So what are the benefits of drinking lemon water and sunbathing? Let’s take a look together below!

1. Lemon water is rich in vitamin C, which is a strong reducing agent. It can reduce cytochrome C, cytochrome oxidase and molecular oxygen to achieve the effect of whitening and removing spots. It can also eliminate free radicals in the body and delay aging. Therefore, drinking lemon water can help beautify and nourish the skin. However, many people have the following misunderstandings when drinking lemon water.

2. Misconception 1: Some people are accustomed to squeezing the juice of fresh lemons to make tea and discarding the lemon peel. However, they do not know that lemon peel is also very worthy of soaking, because the bioflavonoids contained in the peel are higher than those in the pulp. It can scavenge free radicals, has antioxidant effects, and can also regulate human immunity, prevent hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, etc. Lemon peel also contains a large amount of lemon essential oil, which can boost your spirits and eliminate fatigue.

3. Misconception 2: Some people say that lemons cannot be soaked in hot water because too high water temperature will cause a large loss of vitamin C. In fact, the temperature of the water for soaking lemons cannot be too low, otherwise the flavor will not come out. Furthermore, since lemons contain a large amount of organic acids, and vitamin C has better heat resistance under acidic conditions and is not easily destroyed, there is no problem with the water temperature for soaking lemons being around 60°C.

4. Another point to note is that the lemon slices used to make lemon water should be cut thinner, so that the effective nutrients in the lemon can fully seep out and achieve better results. By understanding the above five common misunderstandings, I believe you can drink lemon water more healthily in the future!

5. Drinking lemon water can help detoxify, beautify and whiten the skin. However, if you apply lemon juice on your face and sunbathe, the photosensitive substances in the lemon will make your skin darker. So you can sunbathe after drinking lemon water, but if you apply lemon on your face, you cannot go out in the sun directly.

The above introduces many issues about drinking lemon water and sunbathing, as well as many benefits of drinking lemon water and some misunderstandings about drinking lemon water. Lemon water can also improve immunity and prevent many diseases, so lemon water has many benefits.
