TikTok loves its trends. From \u201coatzempic<\/a>\u201d to okra water<\/a> to seed cycling<\/a>, it seems TikTokers will try almost anything to achieve their health goals. <\/p>\n And now hot lemon water is TikTok\u2019s latest pseudo-health phenomenon<\/a>. Influencers claim a glass of lemon water before bed every night will increase metabolism, reduce bloating, and help burn calories. <\/p>\n Seems too good to be true? According to Denise Hernandez, a registered dietitian with MyFitnessPal, it is. <\/p>\n \u201cLemon water is typically used as a home remedy to improve cold and flu symptoms,\u201d Hernandez says. \u201cThere is no evidence<\/a> that lemon water affects weight loss.\u201d<\/p>\n Ok, so lemon water doesn\u2019t help with weight los<\/em>s. But can it help with anything? It\u2019s likely!<\/p>\n \u201cLemons<\/a> are rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C and polyphenols. Antioxidants<\/a> protect our cells from damage. For example, vitamin C<\/a> helps with the production of collagen\u2014a protein that supports skin, muscle, bones, and connective tissue. It also helps your body absorb iron from food and may boost the immune system. Polyphenols<\/a>\u2014another antioxidant found in lemons\u2014may help alleviate fatigue, and lower cholesterol and blood pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n On top of those benefits, lemon water may help with allergies and even alleviate cold and flu symptoms like a sore throat<\/a>.<\/p>\n Of course, lemon water, hot or cold, will help you meet your hydration goals. According to the NIH, 75% of people don\u2019t drink enough water<\/a>. But it\u2019s important for temperature control, cognitive performance, and gastrointestinal function<\/a>.<\/p>\n Fun fact: <\/strong>You can track your water intake using the FREE MyFitnessPal app<\/a>, plus discover other nutritional information about lemons.<\/p>\n Be wary of consuming too much lemon in your daily water intake. <\/p>\n \u201cToo much lemon water can aggravate acid reflux, increase tooth decay, trigger canker sores, and can interact with certain medicines,\u201d says Mercer.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t go looking for an alternative miracle weight loss drink. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t exist. It may not be the fun answer, but weight loss and management takes consistency and a holistic approach.\u201d<\/p>\n But food-logging is scientifically proven to support weight loss over time<\/a>. Studies show that people who track their food are more likely to achieve their weight loss goals. <\/p>\n When you\u2019re ready, MyFitnessPal<\/a> can help: over 2,000 people a day reach their goals using the app!<\/p>\n The post Lemon Water For Weight Loss: Does It Work?<\/a> appeared first on MyFitnessPal Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hot lemon water is TikTok\u2019s latest pseudo-health phenomenon.
