Lemon Water—Does It Really Detox?

Does drinking lemon water in the morning detoxify your body?

Lemon water is refreshing and provides vitamin C, but it doesn’t “detox” your body. Your body has its own natural processes for dealing with waste, so there’s no need to rely on special drinks or cleanses.

Drinking lemon water can simply be a refreshing way to enjoy more water throughout the day, and adding lemon can make hydration a little more enjoyable.

Too much lemon can contribute to tooth enamel erosion over time, so consider drinking it through a straw and rinsing your mouth with water afterwards.
